Sinead O'Connor is back with a brand new album and a brand new look.

Her 10th album, titled 'I'm Not Bossy, I'm The Boss', will be her first release in three years.

She has a brand vampy new look to go with the album which is due for release on August 12th.

The 47-year-old is almost unrecognisable. She appears on the cover in a Jessie-J inspired black wig and black PVC dress whilst clutching a guitar.

The album was originally due to be called 'The Vishnu Room' but she changed it to reflect how she was inspired by a 'Ban Bossy' campaign featuring Beyonce earlier this year.

Explaining the album's name change, O'Connor wrote on her website:

Originally I had a different title, The Vishnu Room, but a few months back when I saw the phrase ‘I’m not bossy, I’m the boss’ and became aware of the Ban Bossy campaign, I wished I could re-name the album, since indeed it can be tricky being a female boss and I think Sheryl’s campaign is a terribly important one.

At the stage I became aware of the Ban Bossy campaign it was too late to change the album title because the sleeve was already in print. But last week when the record company received the promo shots, which included the cover shot you now see, they asked could they change the planned cover to the current one, and that allowed me the opportunity of changing the title.

Very happy girl.
