Sinead O' Connor: Grave Lullabies

Sinéad Marie Bernadette O'Connor (born 8 December 1966) is an Irish singer-songwriter. She rose to fame in the late 1980s with her debut album "The Lion and the Cobra" and achieved worldwide success in 1990 with a cover of the song "Nothing Compares 2 U". Her next album "I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got" featured Marco Pirroni and Kevin Mooney, of Adam and the Ants fame, and contained her international breakthrough hit "Nothing Compares 2 U", a song written by Prince and originally recorded and released by a side project of his, The Family. Aided by a memorable and well received video by John Maybury which consisted almost solely of O'Connor's face as she performed the song, it became a massive international hit, reaching #1 in several countries.
O'Connor's career was punctuated with controversies, but one of the mot infamous moments was on 3 October 1992, when she appeared in the US on "Saturday Night Live" as a musical guest. She was singing an a cappella version of Bob Marley's "War," which she intended as a protest over the sexual abuse in the Roman Catholic Church, by changing the lyric "racism" to "child abuse."She then presented a photo of Pope John Paul II to the camera while singing the word "evil," after which she tore the photo into pieces, said "fight the real enemy," and threw the pieces towards the camera.
The mix is a collection of her greatest songs, most of which may not necessarily be well known commercial successes. As you will find out eventually, the mix is also not our typical dance floor rouser. As such, we declare this as our first SFFO! (Strictly For Fans Only!) mix. Listen without prejudice!
