Editor's Take:
Hozier mixes blues, soul and gospel with literary, often religious imagery. Take Me to Church attacked the Catholic Church's teachings on sexuality and became an anthem far beyond Ireland. Its video, about homophobic violence, drew wide attention. He then took his time over later albums, which explore love, nature and Irish history. Unreal Unearth drew on Dante's Inferno. A decade after his breakthrough, Too Sweet gave him his first Hot 100 number one. He has also campaigned on social issues.
