3.0 out of 5 stars Minus the controversy, this is just an average single, September 13, 2000

This review is from: No Man's Woman (Audio CD)

As a long-term follower of Sinead's, I was excited to hear she finally had a new album coming out, and extremely gratified by the quality and variety of the album. I love it to death. But this single is another story. Basically I buy singles from the bands that I love for the non-album tracks and interesting versions of better-known songs. On this single, you get the ALBUM version of "No Man's Woman", a dubbed-up version of "Rebel Song", and a forgettable performance of "Her Mantle". Why? The title song is great in the context of the album, but I would have liked to get at least an extended version of it rather than the same track I have on the album. And this new version of Rebel Song is just bad. If you want a better version, look for the original on the short-but-great Gospel Oak EP. In addition to these complaints, I am disappointed that this was the first single from the brilliant Faith and Courage. Musically, there are at least three other songs on the album that would do better as singles. This was a marketing move, I think - something along the lines of "let's announce Sinead's comeback with her latest controversial opinion... if that works, later on we can release the really good songs!"

4.0 out of 5 stars Sinead's back!, June 20, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: No Man's Woman (Audio CD)

Sinead's vocals decrying dependence on men herald her triumphant return! The title track has a catchy beat and the lyrics are a call to being your own woman, something Sinead has clearly aimed at in her career. This misses out on 5 stars because the remix of 'This is a Rebel Song' was disappointing, rather 'popped' up and changing the subject from English man to Irish man.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sinead's best song ever., December 30, 2000

This song "No Man's Woman" is the only song that has ever made me give Sinead's music a second listen (and third, and fourth...). I personally am not a lesbian, and don't feel that this is a "lesbian song" as I've heard some describe it. I could care less who Sinead goes to bed with, as long as she makes music like this! I would love to see this song become a sort of anthem for females of every age, because the truth of it is undeniable, and only comes with the experience of heartbreak and disappointment due to the princess-finding-the-prince fairy tale. I think it's a woman's true victory when she realizes that the only people in this world worthy of trust, the only ones worth depending on, are herself and God.
