Hozier Covers Ariana Grande's "Problem" on BBC Live Lounge: EPIC!
Irish singer-songwriter Hozier has become of the hottest things in music right now. His breakthrough hit “Take Me To Church” has amassed massive downloads and massive chart love in the whole of Europe, Australia and most recently the United States.
Although the song is already a hit and possibly has peaked at its maximum, Hozier is still spending time promoting it everywhere he can – cool, right?. Hozier’s latest stop was this midday (UK time) on BBC Radio 1’s “Live Lounge” live from London. This was the Irish man’s second visit to the Fearne Cotton-hosted radio show in less than 5 months! Now who can say they’ve returned to the “Live Lounge” so soon? Very few!
The two songs Hozier acoustically did today (Jan. 30) were; “Take Me To Church” of course (I actually thought he was going to do a different song from his debut album as he already performed “Church” during his first visit on “LL”) and an acoustic and very Hozier-fied cover of Ariana Grande’s pop smash “Problem”. Say what!? This is a must-hear guys! Do so below:
Oh my god. Every time he sings “Take Me To Church” I get so mesmerized and slayed. What a fantastic song AND singer.
Hozier’s cover of “Problem” (what a random cover choice for him!) was amazing too. I was super intrigued to hear what he would do with this song and what he did was very Hozier, and so incredibly good. Those vocals, man! I would DIE to listen to an acoustic remix of “Problem” sung by Ariana and Hozier. Can the Grammys make this occur?
Did he do a nice job?
