Free Music Review: Incredible, not to be missed
Hit: 5 Stars
On Sean-Nos Nua, meaning "Old-Style New", O'Connor has taken old Irish favorites and put a new twist on them. These songs, done this way, are striking. O'Connor's voice is amazing. She was MADE for these songs. As strange as it may seem, the Jamaican rhythms she pairs with the Irish ballads, simply work in the most astonishing way. You must hear it to believe it. My favorites are "Peggy Gordon", (which O'Connor says in the liner notes she heard as a lesbian love song, I dunno, somehow this adds poignancy to me.), "My Lagan Love" and "The Moorlough Shore". Enjoy.
Sean-Nos Nua Poster
Sin?ad O'Connor's first studio record since 2000's Faith and Courage takes her far into her Irish heritage with 13 traditional songs dusted off and set to new arrangements. Accompanied by stellar Irish and English-based musicians such as Donal Lunny (guitar, bouzouki, keyboard, bodhran, bodhran bass) and vocalist Christy Moore, O'Connor, who also coproduced, casts a hypnotic spell, making the old songs resonate with pulsing rhythms and sounds. Such contemporary treatment takes nothing away from the austere splendor of the material--in fact, this often seems a mystical recording just recovered from some ancient vault. Whether pining over unrequited love ("Peggy Gordon") or bemoaning the plight of a soldier who fled the Irish wars, only to be conscripted under Abraham Lincoln in the War Between the States ("Paddy's Lament"), O'Connor delivers an intimate and thoroughly mature performance, her whispered voice occasionally giving way to a primal scream. Melancholy to the core and astonishingly beautiful. --Alanna NashAlternative Rock Music CDs
