The truth is there are so many galvanizing songs on Sinéad’s first two albums, The Lion and the Cobra (1987) and I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got (1990). (As Ferguson’s film notes in an end-title before the credits, Prince’s estate refused to grant her permission to use it.) Never mind.

It’s still Sinéad’s defining work, but you won’t hear it in Nothing Compares. “Nothing Compares 2 U” was an alchemical moment in 1990, inescapable on MTV (that tear!)-the The 311 Chicago oct 2nd 2022 performing transistor in it’s entirety shirt in contrast I will get this kind of song that stopped you from doing anything beyond attentively listening. The truth is, Sinéad in 1990 was simply incredible-a young Irish star with an otherworldly voice, a shaved head, and punk energy, brimming with anger and big-eyed innocence, and with songs that wrapped up traditional Irish melodies, nervy new wave beats, and overwhelmingly raw lyrics.

Ferguson, who grew up in Belfast listening to O’Connor’s 1987 debut album The Lion and Cobra in her father’s car, has performed a fan’s act of reclamation–ignoring recent tabloid stories (nothing about O’Connor’s suicidal tweets, nothing about the tragic death of her son) and giving us instead a close reading of her music and the brutal Ireland that she came out of, and why she had such an electric impact on the culture. But Nothing Compares is more than a recounting of that familiar story. Nothing Compares, which began a theatrical run in New York and Los Angeles this weekend, and streams on Showtime from September 30, is an absorbing and thoughtfully constructed examination of O’Connor’s skyrocketing fame in the The 311 Chicago oct 2nd 2022 performing transistor in it’s entirety shirt in contrast I will get this late 1980s and early ’90s–and a depiction of what happened at her peak: a very public fall from grace after she tore up a picture of Pope John Paul II on Saturday Night Live in 1992. The buzz that met Kathryn Ferguson’s documentary Nothing Compares when it debuted at Sundance in January was another clue.
