This is Sinead’s ninth studio album and first in five years. She’s had a tumultuous life and musical career, but two things have always held true -- her soaring, yearning voice, and her commitment to social justice. That, and her commitment to experimentation and pissing people off. So, three things. As with every Sinead album, this has plenty of bold melodies, Celtic-meets-Third-World soul, and confessional/critical lyrics. She’s a true original, unmatched for shamelessness and fighting spirit, and this one is as worthy as the rest of her fine work -- get on it now, before future generations have to search this stuff out.
