‘Whatever it is, it’s not pop music,” says Andrew Hozier-Byrne about the song that dramatically launched his career in 2014. Take Me to Church is a soulful, bluesy, gospel-tinged anthem about worshipping at the altar of someone’s sexuality. In his lyrics, the young Irishman (who performs under the name Hozier) aims sharp barbs at organised religion, tackling Catholic guilt and the doctrine of original sin. The video is a disturbing black-and-white short film about homosexual repression in Russia, which has already notched up 29 million YouTube views.
