Critic Reviews
Show All-
Pitchfork
Sinead is always Sinead; despite her considerable vocal talents, she was born to sing her own words.
-
Rolling Stone
Her most rapturous work in a decade.
-
All Music
It is Sinéad O'Connor, ascendant again.
-
The Guardian
O'Connor's trademark ferocity bubbles under the placid surface.
-
Penny Black Music
Quite beautifully executed and ranks amongst her very best work.
-
OO Cities
I would call 'Sean Nos-Nua' a pretty mistake. All dressed up and nowhere to go, indeed.
-
Sydney Morning Herald
Don't underestimate O'Connor's new direction.
-
Jambands
With the confluence of style and content, of stories and slowly moving ethereal expositions, OConnor has revealed the music's relevance as well.
-
The Irish Music Review
Ultimately, because Sinéad is, of course, Sinéad (and all power to her elbows for being so), there’s plenty both to delight and exasperate.
-
Independent
Devoid of the sermonising and personal problems that spoilt previous releases, Sean-Nós Nua is the best album of Sinéad O'Connor's chequered career.
-
Pop Matters
Sean-Nos Nua promises no return to Sinéad O'Connor's early work. However, for those infatuated with her magical voice, this album of work doesn't disappoint.
-
Entertainment
For this most wayward of talents it may, of course, only be a temporary aberration before she returns to her pop roots. But it's quite likely that whatever she does in the future, nothing will compare to this.
-
Soul Surmise
Has all the intrigue of Sinead O’Connor.
