For his third career album, Irish singer-songwriter Hozier goes a little outside of the sounds he had previously accustomed his fans to. Here we find a rather rock atmosphere, with more powerful melodic lines on the guitar and especially a marked use of the drums. This transition towards music with more pop sounds is not a bad thing, on the contrary, it is very successful. This renewed aesthetic rubs shoulders with songs that have made Hozier’s reputation: acoustic, melancholic and disturbing folk melodies, referencing Irish traditions, stories from Greek mythology and numerous literary works. We find Hozier’s magnificent pen and we enjoy decoding the meanings of the words. Each song is linked together judiciously and we never tire of listening to them again and again.
