Podcast: In an extended episode of The Women's Podcast in 2021, Sinéad O’Connor spoke to Róisín Ingle about her extraordinary memoir Rememberings, her childhood and her singular musical career.
In this specially extended podcast from 2021, Sinead O'Connor invited us into her home to talk about her extraordinary new memoir Rememberings. Over coffee and cigarettes she talked Róisín Ingle through her traumatic childhood, her singular musical career and the liberation she found in tearing up that photo of the pope. And there's more: Prince, family bonds, nuns, shame, writing, singing, head shaving, truth-talking, touring and swearing.
The music industry sexualises women artists as a way to silence them, Sinéad O’Connor says on the latest episode of the Irish Times Women’s Podcast. In the specially extended episode, the Dubliner talks about her searing new memoir, Rememberings. The singer speaks about the “fear” of music executives around 1992, a time when rap was an explosive force in music in the United States and O’Connor was shunned by many in that country for tearing up a photo of Pope John Paul II on Saturday Night Live.
“I’m in the same category as the rappers for a different reason. They’re telling a hard truth, but I am also exhibiting being oneself, and they don’t want girls to be themselves. Nobody wants female anger. You know, nobody wants females running the world.” O’Connor, who also goes by the name Shuhada Sadaqat since converting to Islam, discusses how women are treated in the music industry. “The industry is frightened of music,” she says. “That’s why they have been engaged in the business, for the last 15 years, of silencing and grooming potential songwriters, by having the artists sexualise themselves.”
