A portrait of an unparalleled soul, harboring anger and prayer in silence.
This album was a worldwide hit, featuring "Nothing Compares 2 U." Thanks to the success of the song, written by Prince, it reached number one in the UK and the US, and is regarded as one of her signature works.
In the opening a cappella "Feels So Different," O'Connor's voice simultaneously embraces prayer and confession. In the following "Nothing Compares 2 U," her restrained vocal tremor creates a poignant space, resonating strongly with listeners worldwide. The album reached number one in the UK and the US and won a Grammy Award. The album avoids excessive arrangements, allowing the strength of her voice to shine. By directly addressing social themes such as religion, violence, and identity, she redefined the image of female singers in the 1990s and beyond. Produced by O'Connor herself, the minimalist recording style exposes the music's core.
