Sinéad O’Connor es una afamada cantautora y compositora irlandesa. Encumbrada a las cimas del Parnaso roquero en 1990 —a lomos de un «Nothing Compares 2 U» cuyo arreglo dejaría fascinado al propio autor de la misma (Prince)—, su obra cosechó la entusiasta aclamación de la crítica, mas también acabaría rindiéndose a sus pies el grueso de la industria discográfica. Recibió cinco nominaciones a los Grammy en diversas categorías, se haría con uno en plena efervescencia y rechazaría poco después otro al emprender su —por muchos incomprendido— retorno a unas raíces y a una manera de entender la música que nunca debió abandonar. Vive en Dublín.
