One of the most unpredictable and controversial artists to roil the 1990s, Irish siren Sinead O'Connor created a bold, emotional, and original style, in the process proving herself a first-rate writer--articulate, perceptive, and penetrating. She is also, clearly, a world-class vocalist, with a totally unique sound that transcends the limitations of alternative-rock diva-hood. Since her breakthrough I DO NOT WANT WHAT I HAVEN'T GOT, her commercial prospects have ebbed and flowed, and over the years she has perhaps outraged as many people as she's delighted with her outspoken politics.

It's common for pop stars to boast of growing up in public, but O'Connor's actually done it." - Rating: A- Title NoteThe endless sideshows engendered by the fact that Sinead O'Connor was apparently born without the internal censor that keeps the rest of us from social embarrassment have done far too much to obscure the essential truth about this singer/songwriter: she's genuinely talented, and her best work cannot be ignored. This 15 track compilation collects all of the singles from her first four albums, adding several non-LP tracks like "Heroine," a collaboration with The Edge and Eno-associate Michael Brook from the soundtrack of the otherwise forgotten 1986 film CAPTIVE. From her outstanding debut, O'Connor went from strength to strength for a number of years, and this set includes essential tracks like the hard-rocking "Mandinka" and "The Emperor's New Clothes" to the still-startling confessional sound of "Nothing Compares 2 U" and "I Am Stretched On Your Grave." This set also gathers the high points from the spotty but often worthwhile albums O'Connor recorded after her self-imposed retreat from the spotlight, making it a solid one-stop for the casual fan.
