Twenty years after the release of her ground-breaking
debut solo album, "The Lion and The Cobra," the
uncompromising musical artist Sinead O'Connor is releasing
'Theology', a new double-CD collection
of vital emotionally-charged songs.
'Theology' premieres eight new songs written,
or cowritten, by Sinead O'Connor: "Something Beautiful," "Out
of the Depths," "33," "Dark I Am Yet
Lovely," "If You Had A Vineyard," "The
Glory of Jah," "Watcher of Men," and "Whomsoever
Dwells" as well as three thematically-appropriate covers:
Curtis Mayfield's soul-searching "We People Who Are
Darker Than Blue," a beautiful interpretation of Andrew
Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's "I Don't Know How To Love" (from "Jesus
Christ Superstar"), and the traditional reggae spiritual "Rivers
of Babylon" with new lyrics written by Sinead.
" Theology is an attempt to create
a place of peace in a time of war," said Sinead. "It
is my own personal response to what has taken and is affecting
everyone around the world since and including September
11, 2001. I want to be very clear - there is no message.
No preaching. Nothing deep and meaningful the artist wants
to say, nothing trouble making. I simply wanted to make
a beautiful thing, out of something beautiful, which inspires
me.
