Hozier's new track 'Too Sweet' is like ear candy! Vocal ANALYSIS of his new hit single!

Hozier's "Take Me To Church" is one of my all time favorite songs to come out of the last decade, and some of the amazing covers that have been done have let that song continue to live on towards infamy. So when he dropped a new single last month that's already reach number 1 on the top 100 on Billboard, it was no surprise for that to happen, and no shocker for me to want to listen to it for the first time here!

Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Hozier performing "Too Sweet" for the first time.

Most underestimated lyric in this song IMO: "Pretty as a vine, sweet as a grape, if you can sit in a barrel, maybe I'll wait"

[Tophusification]

This song has lived rent-free in my head for two full weeks.

[Coddlesworth]

Only Hozier could write a song where he basically says:

"It's not you, it's me."

... and women still just swoon.

[GambitRaps]

I think he says “you treat your mouth as if it’s Heaven’s gate” because only good things can get in, “the rest of you like you’re the TSA” because they’re very careful about what gets through it. The girl he’s describing makes only really healthy decisions about what she eats and what she does, which is the crux of why he’s saying they’re not compatible, because he likes drinking whiskey and staying up too late and doesn’t really care about longevity as much as he does enjoying the little time he has alive. She’s literally too good for his taste – too sweet.

[TheMotlias]

The voice is 100% Irish folk, a lot of us guys who were trained for Irish traditional were taught to sing like this but he is a MASTER of the technique

[samfisher]

Hozier is steeped in Folk and Blues and Jazz standards. I highly recommend you look into him even more. If you want to check out his lyricisms, some of my favorites are "Jackie and Wilson, " "De Selby (Part 1), " "De Selby (Part 2), " "Angel of Small Death and the Codeine Scene, " "Nina Cried Power, " "Francesca, " "Eat Your Young, " and "Damage Gets Done."

He also did a live acapella version of one of my favorite Irish folk songs called "Humours of Whiskey" which I love so much!

[KP-ness]

'Arsonist's Lullaby' is my all time favorite song by Hozier but this song is a close second ❤

[chrissyd]

Finally more Hozier. I love the metal analysis but we need a look into Hoziers lung power.

[heather]

That little false(etto) flip on 'neat' always gets me. Love how clean and bright it is. Especially in and among all the deep baritone grit. Chills

[jen.g.]

I was lucky enough to see him perform this song live for the first time in Raleigh on 4/20. I got the tickets for my daughter—but I left the show a fan myself. If you get a chance to see him live, do it! So fun!

[Mr_Lima_Bean]

I am in love with your ability to be so transparent and open with your excitement over good music; it's infectious. It always makes me smile to see someone so passionate about their craft. Honestly, it inspires me and reminds me to stay open and honest about who I really am and what sparks my genuine excitement like you do with music. Thanks for all of your content, you've got me nerding out over metal screams and vocal folds, and scaring people, probably looking batsh*t insane as I'm driving down the freeway practicing screaming new vocal techniques on the way to work.

[Hoganply]

A dose of giddy Elizabeth always goes down smooth. Thanks, Hozier.

[Laze_n_Daze]

FINALLY!! I've been waiting for Hozier for so long!!

[missstorrm]

oh wow, i thought this day would never come ;)

[professorbugbear]

He is absolutely one of the best. His songwriting always gets me. He is a master of a turning of a phrase and knows how to compose in a way that makes the song just stick into you.

[dresden]

Seen Hozier live a few times now, and he's just fantastic. The voice, the lyrics... just fantastic. (Seeing him again in June and I can't wait!!!)

[opesam]

My reading of the TSA line is that everything is closely monitored and controlled, whereas he drinks, smokes and just dgaf...

Her body is a temple (ref. Heaven's gate), his is a theme park! 😂

[cristhiangabriel]

Hozier did the credit song for god of war ragnarok, the lyrics are so brutal and real (no idea if he wrote it himself) but still so beautiful, combined with his voice and the instruments was all I needed to be in love with this man's voice

[santiagoFvl]

YES I definitely agree, he's got one of the best voices in radio today and his songwriting is just as good. If you want to check out more, his last album is SPECTACULAR, best lyrics and vocals he's ever done IMO. He really uses his whole entire range in Who We Are, that song blows me away every time

[mrVojjin]

If you'd like to check out more Hozier I cannot recommend his song Francesca more highly. Since it was released last year it has become my favorite love song ever recorded 😍 It has a number of REALLY good live recordings as well where he shows off his ability to switch vocal 'modes' on a whim even more. It's really spectacular.
