When it comes to mixing it up, Sinead O’Connor is a less-successful Madonna. Madonna publishes a sex book, Sinead tears up a photo of the Pope. Madonna releases raunchy video. Madonna gets all British, Sinead releases reggae album. From the all-too-appropriate Jamaica Observer:
She then paid tribute to the roots reggae greats whose songs are covered on the album, including Burning Spear (the title track, among others), Peter Tosh (Downpressor Man) Junior Byles (Curly Locks) and Bob Marley and the Wailers (War), among others.
Declaring that her mission was to “rescue God from religion”, O’Connor hailed Rastafarianism for its transformative role in her life and the lives of others.
Ja mon, you said it, Sinead. Sadly, she doesn’t appear to have a website, so we have to wait to hear Ms. O’Connor cover Peter Tosh.

There is one thing Sinead O’Connor beat Madonna to: religion. She was ordained as some kind of priest back in ’99.
