Sinead O'Connor has announced the tracklisting and release date of her new album Theology.
Originally due last November, the album has a confirmed shelf date of June 22.
The double-album will feature one disc of 'Dublin Sessions' that were recorded in Dublin, which will have a minimal sound. The second disc, recorded in London and inspiringly titled the 'London Sessions' features a a full band.
She explains: "I made it a double record because I noticed at shows the audience liked it when I did some stuff just me and acoustic guitar so Theology has one side which is just acoustic guitar and voice for the hardcore fans and the other side is a full on stadium hip hop feel, with loads of classical strings and loads of distortion on the guitars."
As previously revealed on hotpress.com, the album features eight new Sinead O'Connor compositions and three covers: Curtis Mayfield's 'We People Who Are Darker Than Blue' Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's 'I Don't Know How To Love Him' (from 'Jesus Christ Superstar') and the traditional spiritual 'Rivers Of Babylon', with new lyrics.
The tracklisting is as follows:
Dublin Sessions
'Something Beautiful'
'We People Who Are Darker Than Blue'
'Out Of The Depths'
'Dark I Am Yet Lovely'
'If You Had A Vineyard'
'Watcher Of Men'
'33'
'The Glory Of Jah'
'Whomsoever Dwells'
'Rivers Of Babylon'
