Very much a free thinker and narrative questioner. She famously converted to Islam not too long ago after years of being very much a restless and troubled soul, and she seemed to have found peace until her son died. She was always a rebel, almost certainly a leftist (of the traditional “question authority” sort) but at least not an in-crowd celebrity sheep.
Not sure about that. I never listened to her music. I figured she was Madonna-light but since those celeb types never interested me I don't know much about them. I remember hearing she had converted to Islam and changed her name which is about all I know about her.
Her first album was one of the best of the 80's and her second album was one of the best of the 90's. She was musically leaps and bounds above Madonna, the two are nothing a like. Sinead had an ALLTIME voice and was much closer to postpunk than she was to pop. My favorite song by her is Jump in the River and Drown which was featured on the brilliant Married to the Mob Soundtrack. I suggest giving it a listen before comparing her to Madonna (who to be fair is also talented) again.
She no longer went by O'Connor. She converted to Islam in 2018 and legally changed her name to Shuhada' Sadaqat.
Wasn’t she basically a cabal commie pusher?

Except for covid, vaccines, and masks which she would never question the authorities and may have cost her her life
