About
A significant collection of interviews with the defiant, controversial, and ground-breaking singer, songwriter, and activist throughout her turbulent career...
Brilliant, loveable, mercurial, troubled: Sinéad O'Connor was one of the most important Irish artists of the past 50 years. Her voice inspired awe, and her songs traversed the full spectrum of the human spirit, addressing both emotional despair and incandescent joy with glorious, fearless ardor.
This collection covers the entire span of O'Connor's short life, in her own words. From giddy teenager to seasoned superstar, from her devotion to her children to her consistent and compelling passion for activism, Sinéad's message never wavered. Her interviews reveal a character that was complicated, confident, and clear.
These conversations render O'Connor as an ingenue and as a flirt, in love and in strife, in turbulent times and calm; they follow her lifelong quest for spiritual truth; they flaunt her mordant, coruscating wit. In them, O'Connor lives through her meteoric rise to fame after releasing megasmash albums “The Lion and the Cobra” and “I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got”, and she recounts what happened when she ripped up a photo of Pope John Paul II on "Saturday Night Live", a shocking act of protest that got her blacklisted at the time but has since earned her respect.
Unguarded and unpredictable, O'Connor, in these interviews, is the woman who electrified the globe: beautiful, vulnerable, opinionated, and eloquent.
