5 Artists That Sound Like Hozier
The reason Hozier blew up in 2013 was for one reason and one reason only: the second he opens his mouth, you are entranced. He has a voice like no other, and there is no one in the world that can match it... but there are some that come close. Here are artists with deep resonant voices that resemble Hozier’s impressive vocal chops.
1. “Drawing Board” by George Ezra
It’s no wonder that George Ezra experienced his meteoric rise alongside Hozier in 2013. After releasing his first single, “Barcelona,” it took no time at all for him to become a global sensation. With many songs and lyrics inspired by his solo voyage across Europe, it’s not very difficult to find songs to like on Ezra’s debut album. “Drawing Board” is able to pull you in from the start and doesn’t let go.
2. “Message” by Will Joseph Cook
Get ready to take another look at how much you’ve accomplished in life because this UK native has made major waves in the indie scene at just 19 years of age. His voice is magnetic, and his songs are honest soliloquies that are as relatable as they are mature. Get ready for a pleasant surprise.
3. “Like Eye Did” by FIL BO RIVA
FIL BO came out of nowhere with his raspy hymns in mid-2016, and it hasn’t taken long for music-lovers to take notice. His arrangements bring a grin to your face with their creativity, and his voice is unlike anything else. Each of his compositions acts as a distinct flavor of indie rock, so make sure to give his entire debut EP a try.
4. “Malt Liquor” by Lewis Del Mar
Here is another newcomer to the indie scene that followed a very similar path to FIL BO RIVA by offering an EP that made listeners itch for more. His voice resonates, and his freeform songs keep listeners guessing as to what’s coming next. Get ready for an unhinged style that sounds like it would be absolutely killer live.
5. “Sea Anemone” by Sam Brockington
If you’ve ever seen Finding Nemo, then you will be impressed with Brockington’s ability to say “anemone” so many times without faulting once. That being said, there is more to be impressed with than his flawless prose. Everything from his low basses to his high falsettos are dreamy and elegant. A shallow beginning treads deeper into a memorable build, so get ready to soak in this truly wonderful tune.
