The Lion And The Cobra Vinyl
Sinéad O'Connor's debut album, "The Lion and the Cobra," is now available on vinyl, offering fans a chance to experience her groundbreaking work in its purest form. Released in November 1987, this album marked the arrival of one of the most influential female performers of the '90s.
Known for her raw vocal emotion and outspoken confidence, O'Connor's debut synthesizes a diverse array of sounds and styles, from the hushed, atmospheric "Troy" and "Jackie" to the pop-rock hit single "Mandinka," and the hip-hop inspired "I Want Your (Hands on Me)."
Born in Dublin in 1966, O'Connor was discovered by Paul Byrne, drummer of U2 protégés In Tua Nua, while singing wedding covers in the city. Her striking debut was met with critical and commercial success, showcasing her ability to blend her influences into a unique musical tapestry. The Lion and the Cobra captures the essence of O'Connor's talent and vision, making this vinyl edition a must-have for collectors and new listeners alike. Experience the album that started it all for one of music's most iconic and fearless artists.
