Solid songwriting and sound performance; just not what it could be.
Passionately outspoken and highly opinionated vocalist Sinead O’Connor releases her tenth full-length with as much energy and connection as ever, touching on spirituality, personal relationships and lamentations. With a voice as distinctive as O’Connor’s, however, one can’t help but notice and compare the changes in range and quality of her voice, the double-tracked vocal lines now used more as a disguise for her limitations rather than the distinctive enhancement it once was. Solid songwriting and sound performance; just not what it could be.
