Here’s What Ariana Grande’s ‘Problem’ Sounds Like as a Soulful Indie Rock Song

1 minute read

Well, here’s something nobody was really expecting: a version of Ariana Grande’s smash hit “Problem,” but performed by indie rocker Hozier. (Who you might know from his own recent hit, “Take Me To Church.”)

The Irish musician turns “Problem” into less of a bubblegum pop tune and more of a soulful, guitar-heavy anthem full of chanting. And no, he does not even attempt Iggy Azalea’s verse.

It’s kind of weird, but also pretty good.
