The sadistic blowback she faced for publicly outing the child abuse of the Catholic Church and its cover-up would have destroyed most. Where Sinead might go next, or if she'd ever record again, was the question. It's a testament to her integrity and extraordinary courage that she was able to resurrect with this extraordinary album.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe album takes us on a deeply personal, yet universal journey of womanhood, from the archetypal bad mother to the good and the kind. A feminist statement from Germaine Greer sets the tone, followed by O'Connor letting loose a storm of rage against her abusive mother in \"Fire on Bablyon\"-a salvo so explosive, it need not be repeated. Other than a song called \"Red Football\" and a call-out of the truth behind the Irish potato famine, O'Connor is not interested in rage or revenge. With Universal Mother , she offers us a tender, evocative collection of grief and empathy in song. Her miraculous voice is the vessel-the broken, sacred voice of Mother Ireland.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ANT-BOOK","offers":[{"title":"Ebook","offer_id":54000226697584,"sku":"979-8765106914","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1009\/8543\/8576\/files\/ebook_2487_0ceb1bfd8b.jpg?v=1783520991","url":"https:\/\/antbook.store\/de\/products\/sinead-o-connors-universal-mother-33-1-3","provider":"ANTBOOK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
