HAPPY WASTELAND, BABY! DAY 🩵

Today we celebrate 7 years of the release of Hozier’s second studio album, a work that arrived just before the world fully shifted, as both a love letter and a quiet statement. 
Blending soul, blues, folk, and jazz influences, the record expanded his sound while deepening his lyricism — exploring political unrest, environmental anxiety, chaos, intimacy and vulnerability in equal measure.

It debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 (alongside multiple recognitions), marked a bold expansion of his sound, and solidified Hozier not just as a songwriter — but as a storyteller of the modern age.

This album holds a very special place in my heart, and with it the whole ‘Wasteland, Baby!’ era that we lived together, the tour, press, interviews, the live performances and poems during the pandemic! Ah… I get emotional just thinking about it, I miss those days 🫂

Anyway! 😮‍💨
What does this album mean to you and what would your top 3 songs be? Let me know in the comments!! 

Much love everyone 💙
