Sinéad O’Connor – “Nothing Compares 2 U”

Before Sinéad O’Connor made this song a global smash, the song was originally a synth/keyboard heavy song written and composed by Prince for a funk group in his Paisley Park collective, The Family. It was definitely a bit more soulful compared to O’Connor’s damn near mournful take on the track. In a way, I find her version to be a bit overrated, especially when compared to Prince’s own performance of it with Rosie Gaines back in the day, but I respect what she did what the song and the success it did have. But as always, nothing compares to the original. So thanks, but no thanks…
