Hozier recently shared his thoughts on using Artificial Intelligence (AI) in music during an interview with Radio X's Dan O'Connell. From innocent covers to the serious implications for original music, the Irish singer-songwriter gave his opinions about the topic.

When asked about AI using his voice for unexpected covers, he responded, "I think I've heard maybe 'Take Me To Church' as my voice as maybe Homer Simpson or something like that."

He remarked, "I think that stuff is the more sort of silly, harmless stuff,' he said. "It is kinda weird, yeah. I think it's just fun. I think it's just people playing with the technology for stuff like that. The more complex, long-term stuff of AI, when music catalogues are being trained for generative stuff, is where we're in the bigger questions..."

The AI rendition featuring Homer Simpson's vocals over Hozier's 'Take Me To Church' showcases the cartoon character's deep voice fitting surprisingly well with the track.

Spending 109 weeks on the charts, 'Take Me To Church' managed to nit the No.2 spot in the UK.

The singer also mentioned his single 'Too Sweet' on social media platforms like TikTok, revealing that he was "delighted" with its success. The single has reached the No.1 spot on the Billboard Hot Rock and Alternative Songs and is currently occupying the No.4 slot on the Billboard Hot 100. For more info, check out our article here.

"I wasn’t always as savvy [on social media], but stuff like this really wakes you up to what it can do for a song," he told the Radio X Evening Show.
