Faith and Courage by Sinéad O'Connor
Faith and Courage is an album by Sinéad O'Connor, released in 2000. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 9 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “No Man's Woman”, on 7 lists with a best position of #23.
Faith and Courage, which Atlantic released on 13 June 2000, was Sinéad O'Connor's fifth studio album and her first studio set in six years, with only the 1997 hits collection So Far... The Best of Sinéad O'Connor in between. She wrote most of it herself, then spread the production around a remarkably mixed crowd: Wyclef Jean, David A. Stewart, Brian Eno, Kevin "She'kspere" Briggs, Anne Preven and Scott Cutler among them.
That guest list tells you what kind of record this is: a singer who made her name with The Lion and the Cobra and the hushed devastation of "Nothing Compares 2 U" now trying on sleek pop rock and a different studio accent from one track to the next, with that voice cutting clean through every setting. "Daddy I'm Fine" and "No Man's Woman" were the tracks the countdowns held onto, and in Australia the album went gold.
