INTERVIEW
Jesus Is 'Like an Energy'
Or something. And God is in all of us, and he doesn't judge. Such is the wobbly theology of Sinéad O'Connor, whose new album is being pitched to the Christian market.

What They're Saying:
"My debut is coming soon, and you already know what I'm gonna do/You got my time on the dotted line, but you show up invited/But before I sign it, someone say I'm not making mistakes and please don't be fake/My debut comes today and my feelings have all run away/With the man that I am but understand if I don't keep going/It just goes to show that I've been beat by an industry I've never seen/This is me on my knees singing take it all from me, take it all/Speak to my needs, my needs/Take it all, take it all"

— Jon McLaughlin's "Industy," from his debut album Indiana.
