This is not your mother’s Sinead O’Connor! Or is it? The Irish chanteuse who made as much of a name for herself in the '80s with her shaved-head, combat boots and rabble rousing as she did with her soaring, haunting vocals, is out with the new single “Take Me to Church," and it's pure, powerful Sinead in a way that you’d expect her to musically evolve.
The single is off of Sinead’s upcoming 10th studio album I’m Not Bossy, I’m the Boss, which drops Aug. 12.
Sinead says of the song, according to a release, “The protagonist I’m writing about has had a profoundly distressing experience from which she is ultimately able to not only salvage herself but give birth to herself, coming to the conclusion, ‘I am the only one I should adore.’”
Whether you're a Sinead afficiondo who knows every word to “The Emperor’s New Clothes” or you’ve never heard of Sinead before, check out the video. It’s just plain amazing, infectious music!
