yes. It's from her last solo album, "The Silver Tree."
It's strange because you're likely used to her not singing words in DCD. All her solo stuff has words of some sort. I think the one is all Latin, actually.
The Wind that Shakes the Barley is a traditional Irish song, not something they wrote. Sinead O'Connor does a trip-hop version, which I heard before I ever DCD doing it! LOL
In DCD her voice was often used percussively, and it was more nasal-toned. She based a lot of her vocals on eastern training. This changed slightly on Spiritchaser, being a more south-American/ African influenced album. But you have to be listening for the changes, as they are really subtle.
Her voice is more centered now, at least in a Western sense. The tonality, AKA timbre, is more pure than it was before, and demonstrates more western inflections and cadences than her days with DCD and even Bourke.
I don't mind the changes. I adore her in any genre/ style. I'm just sad I'm not a contralto, so I can't sing half of what she does (I'm a mezzo).
