Hozier Reveals Very Straight, Dance-Centric "Work Song" Video

FUSE TV - Hozier Reveals Very Straight, Dance-Centric "Work Song" Video

Update (3/23): Like we saw in an earlier teaser clip (below), Hozier's "Work Song" got a gorgeous, dance-centric visual to accompany it. Inside a small concert hall, the Irishman croons out his latest gospel-tinged stomper of a single as couples perform sensual choreography to the beat.

It's a great video, no doubt, but we have to admit we're a little disappointed Hozier only showed heterosexual couples after his all-inclusive, anti-homophobic "Take Me to Church" video. In fact, there isn't any imagery that strays past a heteronormative narrative. If there was concern about having two people of the same sex dancing with each other (admittedly, it's tricky to pair same-gender dance partners when lifts are involved), there could have been a few shots of queer couples watching Hozier perform, holding hands, maybe?

Hozier doesn't need to be the go-to dude for spotlighting gay couples—he's rather mum on the subject of his sexuality, and Kelly Clarkson has been repping lately—but it would have been a cool gesture after the great response to "Take Me to Church."
