March 20, 1990 –
Chrysalis Records released Sinead O’Connor’s second album, I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got, on this date. The single Nothing Compares 2 U, off the album (written by Prince,) propelled her to stardom.
The title is a good representation of Sinéad’s ethos; the album made her very famous thanks to the hit Nothing Compares 2 U, but she found that fame stifling and pushed back against it. All she really wanted was the autonomy to make music on her terms and the financial security to raise her family (she had her first child in 1987).
