Sinead O'C0nnor recently did an interview on CBC's The Hour to promote her new album Theology, a collection of primarially orginal songs inpired by the bible.
We'll i ran out as quick as i could and added Theology to our collection. It hasn't disappointed. I Have always appreciated Sinead's art and spirit.
Reviews are pretty split and cridicts are not to kind. Mary and i love it. Brings us to tears every time we put it on the player.
Three songs are covers the rest originals. The stuff she has penned borrows at lot from the psalms. Her rendition of "I don't now how to love him" sung as a prayer in a whisper, leaves one breathless.
The album is an act of love and devotion. The song writing reveals the heart of a spiritual pilgrim who yerns to see the Glory of Jah along with His justice for the poor revealed.
This is a two disc set. Each album contains pretty much the same songs with a few exceptions. Recorded in Dublin the first was her original vision. Hauntingly stripped down with only her voice accompanied by two accustic guitars. The other with gorgeous arrangments and full instrumentation soars from prayerful meditation to Joyful Raggie/Funk.
Hardcore fans will love this stuff.
