Groundbreaking singer, songwriter and musician Prince wrote "Nothing Compares 2 U" back in 1984; however, he never released the original 1984 studio recording of "Nothing Compares 2 U" while he was living. It remained in the vault and was officially released by his estate after his death on April 2018.
In January 8, 1990, O'Connor would release the cover as a single and also as part of her second studio album, I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got. O'Connor's version of the song hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 on March 17, 1990, and remained at the top for four weeks. It was the end of the Cold War, there were whispers of something called "the internet," and "Nothing Compares 2 U" had officially made its imprint on the world.
Nowadays, add in the untimely death of Prince (he died in 2016 at age 57) and O'Connor's mental health struggles followed by her unexpected death (she died in 2023 at age 56), and this song still feels steeped in sadness. Both of these amazing talents gone too soon. But thankfully, we are left with this gorgeous song.
