Throw Down Your Arms
This new Sinead O'Connor is what the old Sinead O'Connor was all about. This is the artist behind the torn picture, the spirit behind the scandal, the voice behind the controversy.
Sinead O'Connor rescued herself from music business and is now determined to "rescue Jah from religion". With "Throw Down Your Arms", the classic reggae record which she made in Kingston, released this October, she does, indeed.
Her passionate rendering of Peter Tosh's "Downpressor Man", her childish but sensual whispering in "Curly Locks" or the always remembered "War" (now softer, but as raw as the previous one, desperately but firmly sung at the Pope pic incident or the Dylan flop) are my personal favourites.
But all 12 tracks will grab you and won't let go. You'll play it, and play it, and play it. A perfect comeback from a perfect artist. A definite must have.
