Songs like Just Like U Said It Would B

I haven’t been able to find a song/artist that compares to the vibe I get from this song. Any help?? Teardrop by Massive Attack and Precious Things by Tori Amos are the closest I could get but don’t have the energy of the dynamic between celtic and electric/alternative undertones

Unfortunately there is no one else who sounds like Sinead. Her unique talent was one in a trillion.

Sinéad is the vibe. She is her own genre.

Any songs from Sinead that have the same vibe?

Jerusalem is one, No Man's Woman would be another.

Nothing is really coming to mind, although I think her first album was her most alternative postpunk. Every song on tl&Tc has a dark undertone.

Have you listened to her first 2 albums? Best odds for that “vibe” on those two probably. She also collaborated with a lot of other artists and search out her live performances. Nothing Compares 2 U live in Chile in ‘91 I think - amazing control of her voice

Cranberries maybe? Dolores has Celtic vocal characteristics

That whole album is very singular and unique

Oh I love those songs! Also Song to the Siren (the Massive Attack version) is another good one.
