Sinead O Connor - Sean nos nua album cover | |||||||||||||||
Sean-Nos Nua is the sixth full-length album by Irish singer Sinéad O'Connor. This is a whisper of an album. Most of the songs are sung slowly and quietly, but with heartfelt passion. Despite the presence of over a dozen musicians it sounds like Sinéad with Donal Lunny's understated guitar, and a distant fiddle. Several of the traditional songs are well known. By contrast, "Óró Sé Do Bheatha 'Bhaile", sung in Irish, is a rarely-performed song about Irish pirate Grace O'Malley. It is the only track that might appeal to a rock audience, because of the quirky arrangement, and an audible drummer. "Paddy's Lament" is an anguished anti-war song, with Sinead sounding almost tearful. The remaining songs celebrate lost love and longing for peace. All songs are Irish traditional.
