Hozier Unreal Unearth, Spirituality Songwriting Apple Music

Irish musician Hozier sits down with Zane Lowe for an in-depth conversation on the creative influences and songwriting process behind his third studio album, ’Unreal Unearth.’ Since his breakthrough hit “Take Me to Church“, Hozier has continued to push himself lyrically, taking inspiration from literature, religion, and real world experiences in his personal life. Hozier shares that isolation allowed him to reset, clear his mind, and remove distractions in order to tap into a higher level of creativity and give him the momentum to pen the powerful tracks on this album. Hozier also discusses his relationship with Ireland, reflects on the success of “Take Me to Church“, remembers Sinead O’Connor, and discusses spirituality more broadly.
