Sinéad O’Connor’s family is working with Chrysalis Records on future music releases, her daughter Róisín Waters has revealed. In a personal letter published on November 2, she explained that she and her brothers are actively involved in caring for their mother’s work and official online accounts. No specific songs, album titles or release dates have been announced as part of the plans.
A personal letter from Róisín Waters has brought renewed attention to Sinéad O’Connor’s recorded work and the possibility of further releases. The singer’s daughter revealed that her family is working with Chrysalis Records, while leaving the form and timing of those projects unspecified. The announcement concerns plans being developed rather than a completed album with an established release date or a set of recordings already introduced to the public.
Published on the artist’s official Instagram account on Monday, November 2, the message addressed people who continue to listen to her music. Róisín explained how the family intends to use the online pages bearing her mother’s name. She referred to her brothers, Jake Reynolds and Yeshua Bonadio, with whom she is helping care for the singer’s musical legacy and make decisions about how that work is presented.
The family wants the official accounts to remain a place for the songs, the life and the significance of Sinéad O’Connor. Róisín also made clear that management of those pages takes place with the family’s full knowledge and consent. It was a point she chose to communicate directly, explaining that the singer’s children now have an active role in the public presentation of the work she left behind.
The most substantial new information is the relationship with Chrysalis Records. Through the family company Deep Dana, O’Connor’s children are involved in managing her legacy, including music releases about which Róisín said listeners would hear more soon. That statement confirms activity and a record-label relationship, but does not identify the precise material being considered or give a timetable for its release. Those further details remain to be announced.
Several kinds of project could fit that description, from previously unreleased recordings to reissues or collections of archive material. None has been confirmed as the specific subject of the current collaboration. The letter also did not name a new album. It would therefore be premature to treat the mention of future releases as evidence that a finished studio record is ready to appear or that a particular archival project has been approved.
Róisín’s message had a personal purpose alongside the music news. She and her brothers would like to share occasional thoughts and memories through the accounts, making room for their relationship with their mother as well as the artist known to the wider public. Her description of Sinéad as belonging to listeners while also being their mum acknowledged those different connections without claiming that the family’s memories replace everyone else’s experience of her music.
She closed by thanking people who have continued listening and expressing their love since the singer’s death, signing the letter with her first name. That personal ending matched the tone of a message about both family responsibility and public affection. The plans for the accounts sit alongside the recording work, allowing updates about future releases and memories of Sinéad O’Connor to appear in the same official space.
Sinéad O’Connor died in July 2023 at the age of 56. Her recording career began with “The Lion and the Cobra” in 1987 and reached a worldwide audience with “I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got” in 1990. The second album included her performance of Prince’s “Nothing Compares 2 U”, the recording that brought her voice to an enormous international public and remains among her most widely recognised songs.
Her catalogue extends well beyond that hit, moving through rock, folk and other musical traditions, often with deeply personal or political concerns. The final studio album released during her lifetime was “I’m Not Bossy, I’m the Boss”, in August 2014. She worked on further songs in subsequent years, but another studio album did not complete the release process before her death, leaving interest in the material she had been developing.
One project from that period was “No Veteran Dies Alone”, made with producer David Holmes. After Sinéad O’Connor’s death, Holmes said eight songs had been completed while a ninth remained unfinished. That account explains some of the interest in possible unreleased recordings, but does not establish their place in the current plans. The existence of recorded material and a decision to issue it are separate matters, and the family has not linked the project to this announcement.
For now, Róisín has confirmed the family’s involvement in preserving Sinéad O’Connor’s work and its collaboration with Chrysalis on future releases. She has not presented a new recording or supplied a date. Further information has been promised, while the official accounts will also remain a place for personal memories. Her letter ends with thanks to the people who continue to carry her mother’s music with them.
