And musically, it was to be boiled hard to remain constant loyal fan. Now I'm always an ardent supporter of the attitude that you have an artist grant free development and can not expect him obediently submits to the audience what this expected (especially as it then at some point is, or even makes always the same). Projects and changes you have to accept if you want to get not only service-music to the ears.
Well, to accept there were also musically a lot. The priority in the years after 2000 came many a album I fight today. The ranks of fans exposed further. All too many were not, but I persevered, I faithfully bought all albums like gold.
Now I hear "How about I be me (and you be you)?" the eighth, ninth and pinch myself still. Is it true? Is that really the new album of Sinead O'Connor?
It is so beautifully sad, so melodious angry, so winking cheerful, musically fresh and not go into it only with difficulty into must operate in spheres be original but not annoying stressful and textually faithful and far braver pop poetry.
The album has the potential new fans and old to recover. Would not it now in 1993, "How about ..." to succeed "I do not ..." appeared (and without all the excesses in time), then the music world would now enthusiastically speak only of this board and drown rightly "Even better than the last album." "Nothing Compares 2 U" was great, but now hear "Back Where You Belong" - sadly does not go even more beautiful!
We can only hope it does not go down and rediscover many Sinead - it's worth, a really great album!
