Sinéad O’Connor has a new song out??
Two months after the Nothing Compares 2 U singer’s death, fans are getting to hear a previously unreleased track. During Sunday’s series finale of BBC psychological thriller The Woman in the Wall, UK viewers were in for a poignant surprise when they heard the late talent’s voice at the end of the episode in a new track called The Magdalene Song — and composer David Holmes is opening up about it.
In an interview with The Guardian on the same day, the Northern Irish musician explained:

But wait, isn’t this the exact opposite of what Sinéad wanted?? Wasn’t she against posthumous music releases, as they were, to her, “gross”?? Well, you can rest easy, because this is NOT someone trying to capitalize on her passing. Sinéad very much gave the OK before she passed. David explained:
Well that’s good to hear!
The Magdalene Song was very personal to Sinéad, addressing her personal struggles throughout. David told the outlet:
We guess that title really does say a lot in context!
The show sounds like it definitely parallels Sinéad’s life in some ways… It’s about a woman dealing with the trauma she suffered while staying at one of Ireland’s Magdalene asylums — similar to the one the Troy singer had previously opened up about being sent to as a teen for shoplifting.
David explained that prior to her death, he told Sinéad about the show and encouraged her to make something for it — and she was on board:
He added it’s a “big regret” she’ll never get to see it now but believes “she would have been proud.” You can see the song as it premiered (below) but, you know, SPOILERS if you plan to watch the show:
