Hozier's latest album, "Unreal Unearth," is a departure from the raw, introspective power of his breakout hit, "Take Me to Church." Released in 2023, this album ventures into a landscape described as a mishmash of mythology and pop, evoking mixed reactions from fans and critics.
At the heart of the album are themes inspired by Dante's Inferno, exploring concepts of gluttony, lust, and wrath through a loosely structured concept album format. Hozier, credited as the sole lyricist on only two tracks, notably shines in "Butchered Tongue," a poignant exploration of British-Irish history and its violent implications.
Hozier's exploration of broader musical territories reflects an artist unafraid to evolve and experiment. The album's ambition to blend social commentary with diverse musical influences underscores Hozier's desire to push artistic boundaries, making "Unreal Unearth" a testament to Hozier's journey as a musician grappling with newfound fame and artistic evolution. While it may not replicate the groundbreaking impact of "Take Me to Church," it offers glimpses of brilliance amidst a landscape of experimentation and thematic exploration.
To get an idea of what Hozier's "Unreal, Unearth World Tour" is like, we can look at the show that took place at Phoenix's Arizona Financial Theatre on November 1st, 2023. The night began with Madison Cunningham's mesmerising opening set, and when Hozier finally took the stage, the venue erupted with excitement. Opening with a seamless transition from "De Selby (Part 1)" to "De Selby (Part 2)," he immediately set a mystical tone that would define the evening. Surprising the crowd with "Jackie and Wilson," he kicked off a journey through his extensive catalogue, blending hits and deep cuts with masterful precision.
Visually stunning, the stage design featured a towering, bare tree skyline complemented by dynamic projections of stormy skies and celestial landscapes. These visuals, coupled with vibrant lighting, enhanced the atmospheric richness of each song, captivating every eye in the house.
Backed by a talented ensemble, Hozier effortlessly navigated through songs spanning his entire discography. From soulful ballads like "Cherry Wine" to the anthemic call of "Nina Cried Power," each performance resonated deeply with the diverse audience, evoking introspection and collective celebration moments.
Closing his main set with the iconic "Take Me To Church," the song's enduring relevance was underscored by the fervent response of the crowd, who joined him in a powerful musical communion. Returning for an encore, Hozier continued to inspire. "Nina Cried Power" ignited a call to action, amplifying his message of social consciousness and solidarity. Ending on a tender note with "Work Song," performed in a heartfelt duet with Madison Cunningham, he bid farewell with plenty of gratitude and a promise to return soon.
