In the U.S., O’Connor was best known for her tearjerking (and Billboard Hot 100-topping) rendition of the Prince-penned megaballad “Nothing Compares 2 U” - along with its impressionistic music video, a huge MTV smash that made her the first female winner for the Video Music Award for video of the year in 1990. Equally adept at incendiary anti-government missives and heartbreaking torch songs, O’Connor never chased the pop mainstream, but was such a force of artistry that she ended up breaking through to it anyway.
The music world lost one of the most singular voices - both in the vocal and artistic senses - of the past half-century this week with the death of Irish singer-songwriter Sinead O’Connor, at the age of 56.
