Jackie - Is It My Birthday? ft. Sinead O'Connor - The Wolfmen Single Review
Single Review
You won't hear a more fascinating single this year.
The combination of Wolfmen's Chris Constantinou, Marco Pirroni and Irish chanteuse Sinead O'Connor is a master stroke.
It's been sometime since O'Connor pushed herself vocally and Jackie, Is It My Birthday is perfect opportunity for a renaissance into the charts.
Sometime BBC radio DJ and Culture Show presenter Lauren Laverne is a big fan of the song. It's also A-listed on NME Radio.
Sweeping strings with a Celtic touchstone, and edgy fuzzy guitars by Pirroni, it would have been a great Christmas release sitting comfortably next to the Pogues' A Fairytale In New York.
This is O'Connor's best work in years.
