Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Sinead O'Connor really knows how to end a career. True, she's been trying to do it since the early 1990s, through incendiary action and regularly spaced announcements of her retirement. The release of She Who Dwells comes with the caveat that it is O'Connor's last wilful act and musical testament--and, who knows, her third attempt to flee the music industry may stick. If so, it's a shame because after nearly a decade of flailing musically, O'Connor rediscovered her true voice in 2002 with Sean-Nos Nua, an album of traditional Irish songs reimagined in surprisingly fresh ways.

She Who Dwells is a two-CD set, but in typical O'Connor fashion it's oddly framed. Disc one is a collection of 19 rarities and previously unreleased tracks split three very different ways. There are more traditional Irish tunes, her electronic collaborations with Massive Attack and Asian Dub Foundation and a range of covers that includes songs written or made famous by Aretha Franklin, Gram Parsons, the B-52s and Abba. (These latter tracks shouldn't work, but for the best evidence they do, check out her almost Tex-Mex pop version of "Chiquitita".)

Disc two is a more traditional career-ending retrospective; it's a 13-track recording taken from a late 2002 concert at Vicar Street Theatre in Dublin. About half the songs come from Sean-Nos Nua, with three songs each lifted off I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got and Universal Mother. O'Connor is backed by a great band that features Irish music stalwarts Donal Lunny and Sharon Shannon. As good as they are, it's O'Connor's voice that stuns throughout, whether singing the Irish blues of "I Am Stretched on Your Grave" or a version of "Nothing Compares to U" that contains both flute and a stately cello solo. One hopes this isn't the last we hear from O'Connor, but even if it is, she's left us on a pure, high note. --Keith Moerer

5.0 out of 5 stars The last goodbye (or not), 20 Aug 2003
Last may, Sinéad O'Connor announced that she retired from music business with a DVD and some collaborations. But it was not completely true. The last present that the Dubliner singer has offered to her audience is called "She Who Dwells in the Secret Place of the Most High Shall Abide Under the Shadow of the Almighty" and it is a double CD. One disc includes covers, rare tracks, demo and new songs, and the other one, live songs.

"Ain't it a shame", by B'52; the classic Abba's song, "Chiquitita" or "Do Right Woman" by Aretha Franklin are some of the covers that the buyer of this album will appreciate. Sinéad O'Connor offers a new vision of these songs with her special and sweet voice, but also with the work of producers like Brian Eno or Adrian Sherwood.

The second disc is a review of Sinéad's career, and there are hits like Nothing compares 2 U, Thank You For Hearing Me, and also songs from her last CD, "Sean-Nos Nua". The setlist of this live CD is the same than her DVD "Goodnight, Thank You, You've Been a Lovely Audience," which was recorded in October 2002, in Dublin.

"She Who Dwells" is a gift that will show in the near future what a lot of people know now: Sinéad is a talented singer that has clearly said a lot of things.

3.0 out of 5 stars Shy and Retiring ?, 29 Sep 2003
By A Customer
The news that Sinead was retiring can have suprised few of us , she has always been on the edge of the public / private worlds
she lives in . To follow with an immediate new album similarly
is no shock , perhaps what is, is the depth and range of her out-take catalogue , you kind of knew she liked many of the covers and they would have graced her "Am I not your girl" , Album . I
never thought I would own an ABBA track , I now do , dam it , I
think I even hummed along. For good measure you get a live CD
of the last tour with many of the songs being stripped down to the bone and as you would expect , her voice, floats in and out
of the notes as if a free spirit . If its the end of her carear
its a nice fullstop , if not its an even better comma.

5.0 out of 5 stars love it, 17 Mar 2009
The first disc i cant really say much about that none of the other reviewrs have said already, personly i like it and the second disc consists of sinead singing live on her "goodnight, thank you youve been a lovely audience" tour (you cannot fault her singing on this disc). This is also available on dvd.

Sinéad's always been a highly sought after collaborator, and why? Because she's awesome, that is why. Read more
