Sinead O'Connor's new album is "all down to the c**k."

The singer - who released her new LP How About I Be Me (And You Be You?) earlier this week - hopes people who are listening to it are taken on a journey, but admits essentially it boils down to one thing, sex: "I always liked the idea that you listened to my records like reading the diaries of someone recovering from very severe abuse. A journey documented musically, and the whole point of the journey is to get happy. There's no point taking the journey if, at the end of it, you're going to be f**king miserable. But it's all down to the c**k, obviously. As it always is."

Sinead has previously made public pleas for sex and she admits she did so to cause trouble: "It was amusing, because we're still a very repressed country about sexuality. It was hilarious, reactions and reactions, six weeks of complete f**king mayhem which was just the best six weeks I've ever had in my life!"
