As the world mourns the passing of a music icon, we take a moment to reflect on Sinéad O'Connor's "Nothing Compares 2 U," the first song to top both the Billboard Hot 100 and Modern Rock Tracks chart
This song is so beautiful and Sinead’s voice is angelic and full of angst at the same time. The video always stood out as so simplistic but it was completely different from what every other act was putting out on MTV. Just listening to her gorgeous vocals soar over a minimal drum track and what sounds like strings and some electric piano with effective backing vocals just makes this song stand out. Rest in peace, sweet chanteuse...
