While controversy dogged Irish singer Sinead OConnor after an incredibly successful decade in the music industry, she is back to recording and performing music for her fans. While she has moved onto a new style, she is still finding a lot of success.
OConnor was raised in Dublin, attending a reform school that helped her develop her talent of writing. In 1983 she was sent to a Quaker boarding school where she recorded a four-song demo, and the following year she formed Ton Ton Macoute with Columb Farrelly. After the death of her mother in 1985, OConnor left the band and scored herself a record contract. She recorded "Heroine" with The Edge from U2.
The singers first two album, "The Lion and the Cobra" in 1987 and "I Do Not Want What I Havent Got" in 1990, were critically acclaimed. The latter included her most commercially successful single, a cover of The Familys "Nothing Compares 2 U," written by Prince. The single was the eighth most successful single of the decade in Ireland, and also claimed the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the U.S. She won an American Grammy Award for "Best Alternative Music Performance."
OConnors stock was on the rise - she had a distinctive voice and original lyrics, and she was also known for her shaved head and unusual clothing choices, not to mention a constant snarl on her face.
The singer spent the following years on a number of collaborations, including tributes to Elton John and Cole Porter. Her next album was "Am I Not Your Girl?" - an album of torch songs and standards. While she had been spending time in London and Los Angeles for a while, she decided to return to Ireland in 1992 and received singing lessons from Frank Merriman, who she hailed as an incredible teacher.
OConnor released "Universal Mother" in 1994, and toured with Lollapalooza the following year. "Faith and Courage" was released in 2000, which included Wyclef Jean and Dave Stewart. In 2002, she put out "Sean-nos Nua," a traditional Irish folk album.
After a bout with fibromyalgia and claiming retirement in 2003, she returned to the music scene in 2005 with "Throw Down Your Arms," a critically-acclaimed reggae album that was recorded after observing the Rastafarian culture of Jamaica. In 2006, she released "Theology," which sticks with the Rastafarian theme.
