Jealous Import

Reader Reviews
The second single from Sinead O'Connor's critically acclaimed 2000 Atlantic debut 'Faith & Courage," Jealous was co-written with Dave Stewart...he of the spiked hair and former Annie Lennox home address. This is what O'Connor, the Irish Joan of Arc [person] Edith Piaf, does best--sing til the heart is trampled. A lush, gorgeous ballad about regret, loss, and accusation in love, the moody strings and synths make the perfect foil for what has to be one of this artist's most technically pure vocal performances ever. Why this was not the first single taken from the album is beyond me. Atlantic instead chose to offer the brilliantly anthemic (but polarizing) 'No Man's Woman,' and defeated the whole purpose of easing Ms. Controversy back into the mass public embrace. Too bad...'Faith & Courage' was an album that deserved to be heard by millions, and 'Jealous' would have done the trick, straight-out-of-the-box. Instead, O'Connor failed to tour at all behind this intimidating, multi-million dollar studio extravaganza, Atlantic dropped its campaign after a middling push at radio for 'Jealous', and Faith & Courage sold half a million when it should have been in every CD carousel on earth. Hopefully some A&R heads rolled at Atlantic for their failure to properly market this classic album and songs like this. And Sinead...you simply should have toured behind it, doing acoustic versions if you had to. Still...check out her new one 'Sean-nos Nua'...it's even more brilliant than anything she's done to date.
