Sinéad O'Connor reveals album title + striking cover image

“Originally I had a different title, The Vishnu Room,” she explains, “but a few months back when I saw the phrase ‘I’m not bossy, I’m the boss’ and became aware of the Ban Bossy campaign, I wished I could re-name the album, since indeed it can be tricky being a female boss and I think Sheryl’s campaign is a terribly important one.
“At the stage I became aware of the Ban Bossy campaign it was too late to change the album title because the sleeve was already in print. But last week when the record company received the promo shots, which included the cover shot you now see, they asked could they change the planned cover to the current one, and that allowed me the opportunity of changing the title.”
The striking image finds a guitar-clasping O’Connor resplendent in a PVC dress and bobbed black wig.
In addition to her album’s August 8 release, Sinéad’s busy summer includes festival appearances at Westport (June 29) and the Electric Picnic (August 31).
