Free Music Review: Sinead O'Connor's Greatest Album : And its an EP
Hit: 5 Stars
What a pity that Sinead O'Connor didn't choose to release her "Gospel Oak" as a full-fledged album. This was exactly the musical direction she was meant to take, and the release of this EP more than a decade ago remains one of her more baffling musical decisions. It was the first time Sinead had tackled songs such as these, with an emphasis on a pop sensibility that bordered on folk, but the true strength of the songs here are their messages - both universal and political.
"This is to Mother You" works both as a feminist anthem as well as a plaintive love ballad. This was Sinead's "Earth Mother" phase and her musical output was just fantastic. The gem "I Am Enough for Myself" is a stunning piece of vocal, with a message of self-empowerment and deliverance. "Petit Poulet" seems childlike but hides a deeper message, but the true stunner is the ballad "This is a Rebel Song", which tackles Anglo-Irish politics through the lens of a woman being left behind. Beautiful.
The final track is a version of "He Moved Through the Fair". I've heard live versions of it on other Sinead compilations, but this is the only CD where you'll find this version. Really something. "Gospel Oak" is thoroughly enjoyable for many reasons, but primarily because the production is so good, and Sinead's voice has never sounded better. I've always held that this one and her "Universal Mother" CD have been her best works ever, and you should try to track down this out of print CD just to possess these rare, rare songs.
