Fans of “Killing Eve” may recognise one of Sister Irene O’Connor’s songs—“Fire” provided the soundtrack to a scene in which Villanelle is baptised
You may have heard “Fire”, or at least a fragment of it, before. Last year it featured in “”, a hit television series, providing the soundtrack to a scene in which the show’s psychopathic anti-hero, Villanelle, is baptised. James Blake, a British pop star, sampled the song on “Where’s The Catch?”, a track of 2019. “Fire” has been remixed in astyle by an artist in Brazil; a Swedish metal band used to play it at the start of their concerts.
Sister Irene’s involvement in the recording industry dates back to the 1960s. She was teaching in Singapore at a kindergarten for children with learning difficulties when, one day, she picked up a guitar and sang to the youngsters. They loved her performance, and word got around about the musical nun. She recorded several albums.
It was in Singapore that Sister Irene befriended Sister Marimil Lobregat, a fellow teacher and music enthusiast. Years later the two nuns both moved to Sydney and entered the same Franciscan convent. Sister Marimil became a collaborator on “Fire of God’s Love”, handling the production and lending the music its eerie, psychedelic-folk mood. Sister Irene wrote the songs, sang the vocals and played all the instruments.
The album was first released by Philips Records, a Dutch conglomerate, in 1973. Though it didn’t sell in big quantities at the time, in the decades since it has earned a cult following. In 2008 Darren Seltmann of the Avalanches, an electronic-music group, named “Fire of God’s Love” one of the best Australian albums of all time. TheSister Irene recently celebrated her 90th birthday.
