On Wednesday’s BBC Radio 1, Demi Lovato covered Hozier’s “Take Me To Church” and put a jazzy twist on it!
Moments before the cover, Lovato said that she was blown away by the song. “The first time I heard it, it was on the radio,” she said. “And I was like, ‘Wow, this is on pop radio.’ And it’s not your typical pop song — in fact, it doesn’t sound like a pop song, but the term ‘pop’ means popular, so it is a pop song. I think I even tweeted, ‘Thank God that somebody put this on the radio, because this is incredible music.'”
Irish singer, Hozier, shared the link to Lovato’s performance on Twitter, saying he felt “very flattered” by her “gorgeous cover.”
Hey! Huge thank you to @ddlovato for doing this gorgeous cover of TMTC in the #LiveLounge today. Very Flattered. https://t.co/YbniLhsM58
