Sinead O’Connor has shown off her new S&M inspired look as she makes a return to the music world.
The Nothing Compares 2 U star is releasing her new album I’m Not Bossy, I’m The Boss on August 11 and admits she is a “very happy girl”.
And the 47-year-old is making sure that everyone notices she is back, with plans to release the record worldwide later in the year with Nettwerk Records.
Sinead revealed that the website comes was inspired by Facebook executive Sheryl Sandberg’s feminist bid to stop women being labelled bossy.
Army: Sinead wears camouflage clothing to Trinity College debate
She added: “Originally I had a different title, The Vishnu Room, 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.”
Out and about: Sinead has been keeping quiet as she works on record
Sinead isn’t afraid of picking a shocking outfit to make the news – recently dressing up as an army man.
The Bray star showed up in the attire to a Trinity College debate on whether the Catholic Church Can Be Salvaged with the Historical Society.
Last year Sinead found herself in hot water after taking on former Disney star Miley Cyrus with an open letter warning her not to let herself be pimped out by management.
She said: “Nothing but harm will come in the long run, from allowing yourself to be exploited and it is absolutely NOT in ANY way an empowerment of yourself or any other young women, for you to send across the message that you are to be valued (even by you) more for your sexual appeal than your obvious talent.
“The music business doesn’t give a shit about you, or any of us. They will prostitute you for all you are worth, and cleverly make you think it’s what YOU wanted.”
