About The Album

Released in September 1992, Am I Not Your Girl? was the follow-up to the globally successful I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got. O'Connor described it as an album of "the songs I grew up listening to". The album is also historically significant as it was released during the same period as her controversial appearance on Saturday Night Live. Dedicated to the people of New York City, the record remains a testament to her courage as an artist to follow her own creative path, regardless of industry expectations.
