Sinead O'Connor performing again
February 11, 2005

LONDON --Irish singer Sinead O'Connor says that after two years of retirement, she is returning to music -- but not the pop scene.

"I want to at least aim my records at a more spiritualized market," she told Irish music magazine Hotpress.

O'Connor, best known for her song "Nothing Compares 2 U" and for shredding a picture of Pope John Paul II on "Saturday Night Live," announced her retirement two years ago. She said she wanted to concentrate on raising her children. She also disclosed she was battling a fatigue illness called fibromyalgia.

In 1999, O'Connor was ordained as a priest in the Latin Tridentine Church by a rebel bishop. She then adopted the name Mother Bernadette Mary.

Now, she says her music would have religious qualities.

"Religious songs with bad words, that's the best way I could describe it," she said. "I've been thinking for years the religious area of music has a huge gap in it. Needs a bit of punky filling."

The 38-year-old singer said she was already working on material for three different records and would perform in the next few months at a special appearance in Belfast, Ireland.

O'Connor's third son, Shane, was born last March.
