Sinéad O’Connor‘s 1990 song “Black Boys on Mopeds” was written about police brutality in the UK. EMA has shared her version of the song. “I meant to release it over the holidays but for multiple reasons it just didn’t happen,” she wrote. “Now an investigative report by the DOJ has confirmed a history and pattern of racially-based discrimination and harassment amongst the law enforcement of Ferguson, MO.” Listen below via New Hive.

She recorded her version of the song last year during a power outage, “straight onto the laptop in a cold house filled with candles.”
