Sinéad O'Connor
Comment:
When a 20-year-old Sinéad O'Connor recorded with U2's the Edge on his '86 soundtrack song "Heroine," few took notice of the Irish singer's unique sound. That changed when O'Connor followed it up with her debut album [i]The Lion and the Cobra[/i] — on tracks like the haunting anthem "Troy," O'Connor revealed a voice with a power and impact of mythic proportions. Changing the idea of what a female artist should look and sound like, O'Connor was fiercely individual, a quality that could work against the often controversial artist, but one that took her through years of stylistic exploration and invention. Our [i]Sinéad O'Connor[/i] Essentials bring you the very best of those years in one long-playing set packed with everything from her defiant originals ("No Man's Woman") to sounds-of-the-sod traditionals (a fantastic "Molly Malone").
