Hozier Covers Ariana Grande's 'Problem'
. (Radio.com) When you think of Hozier and the music the Irish slow-burning indie rocker listens to, Ariana Grande and Iggy Azalea probably don't come to mind. Yet when he appeared on BBC Radio 1, their song "Problem" was the cover that Hozier took on. Considering how far off on the sonic spectrum he is from those two female artists--and the challenges emulating each of their voices presents--Hozier came up with a solid take. He hit Grande's high notes, even the you-oo-oos, and, wisely, he didn't try to replicate Iggy's verse. On the other hand, the least surprising thing about his take has to be how good the song sounds when filled out by a live band. Of course, if you're ever going to take a risk, you may as well do it while you're on top. Hozier is currently riding high off his Grammy nomination for song of the year with "Take Me to the Church," off his 2014 From Eden EP. Check it out here.
