Description
SINEAD O’CONNOR Am I Not Your Girl? (2023 UK limitededition 12-track LP pressed on classic black vinyl. Am INot Your Girl? stands as one of the most unexpected andrevealing albums in Sinéad O’Connor’s catalogue. Originallyreleased in 1992 as the follow-up to the globally successfulI Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got, the record sawO’Connor step away from contemporary pop and into theworld of classic songcraft, interpreting material she grew upwith and that shapedher desire to sing. Backed by a fullorchestra and framed by lush big-band and easy-listeningarrangements, the album places her unmistakable voice frontand centre. Performances such as “Why Don’t You Do Right?”,”Bewitched, Bothered And Bewildered” and “Black Coffee”highlight her control, phrasing and emotional restraint, whilethe single “Success Has Made A Failure Of Our Home” becamea Top 20 hit. The set also includes her striking renditions of”Don’t Cry For Me Argentina” and “Gloomy Sunday”. One ofthe most distinctive stylistic detours of O’Connor’s career.Picture sleeve, factory sealed.
