  Brutally intimate and completely fearless. Every song feels like a world unto itself, yet the album holds together perfectly. Every emotional tremor in her voice bares a hard truth. It’s protest, confession, and pop classic all at once.

  This is a heartbreaking classic of an album. While Nothing Compares 2 U is the best known song, other tracks have an equal or greater impact with howls of despair and anger, as well as more upbeat and joyful numbers. The only misstep is ‘Black Boys on Mopeds’ which is a clunking protest song about Margaret Thatcher, but it was 1990 so we can probably let this one slide.
