The internet is buzzing with a mind-blowing discovery: slow down a Dolly Parton song, and it sounds just like Hozier. And if you speed up a Hozier track? You get none other than Dolly Parton herself.
It sounds wild, but fans have been putting this theory to the test. Songs like Dolly’s iconic “Jolene” take on a rich, soulful vibe when slowed down, strikingly similar to Hozier’s deep, haunting sound. On the flip side, speed up Hozier’s “Take Me to Church” and suddenly you’re transported to the high-pitched twang of classic Dolly!

And when Hozier was asked recently, quote, “Have you seen the online rumor that Dolly Parton slowed down is you?” He answered cheekily, “I can’t confirm or deny.”
@lostinahaze_ Hmm I kinda hear it but I agree with Andrew that it sounds like a Bill Withers song and for sure still a banger #hozier #jolene #dollyparton #whatdoyouthink #hoziertok #hozierinterview ♬ original sound – lost in a haze
