Product Description
From Amazon.co.uk
Released two years after she tore up a picture of the Pope on prime-time US television, this is O'Connor's fourth and most fully-realised album. Intensely spiritual, it burns with anger, passion and a fragile beauty. Opening with a call to arms by feminist writer Germaine Greer, the album then moves into the sultry groove of "Fire On Babylon", O'Connor's chilling song about her experience of child abuse. In the tradition of rap music as education, she mixes Celtic folk with hip-hop beats on the track "Famine", a tough-talking tribute to Irish history complete with samples from Miles Davis and Fiddler On The Roof; while pared-down ballads such as "John I Love You" and "Thank You For Hearing Me" are soaring yet simple hymns to the rejuvenating power of love. She even does an intimate version of Nirvana's song "All Apologies". More poised and reflective than previous albums, Universal Mother shows vision and musical maturity. As O'Connor suggests in the sleeve notes, it is heard best "on headphones (and) ... in sequence, rather than as single tracks." --Lucy O'Brien
