About Sinead O'Connor

One of the most unpredictable and controversial artists to roil the 1990s, Irish siren Sinead O'Connor created a bold, emotional, and original style, in the process proving herself a first-rate writer--articulate, perceptive, and penetrating. She is also, clearly, a world-class vocalist, with a totally unique sound that transcends the limitations of alternative-rock diva-hood. Since her breakthrough I DO NOT WANT WHAT I HAVEN'T GOT, her commercial prospects have ebbed and flowed, and over the years she has perhaps outraged as many people as she's delighted with her outspoken politics.
