Cranberries honour O’Riordan with single

The Cranberries debuted the single “All Over Now” on Tuesday to mark the first anniversary of lead singer Dolores O’Riordan’s death.

The new song comes ahead of the April release of the group’s eighth and final album, In the End, after which the Irish rock band plans to split after 30 years together.

“All Over Now” chronicles a case of domestic abuse and features O’Riordan’s haunting voice, as well as the band’s signature blend of rock, alternative and pop.

O’Riordan was found dead in a London hotel on Jan. 15, 2018. An inquest later found that the 46-year-old had drowned accidentally after drinking. Incidentally, the song opens with the lyric, “Do you remember that night at a hotel in London?”

The band, best known for 1990s hits “Linger” and “Zombie,” said it completed the album using demos recorded in 2017. “We knew this had to be one of the, if not the, best Cranberries album that we could possibly do,” guitarist and cofounder Noel Hogan said in a statement.

“The worry was that we would destroy the legacy of the band by making an album that wasn’t up to standard.

“Once we had gone through all the demos that Dolores and I had worked on and decided that we had such a strong album, we knew it would be the right thing and the best way that we could honour Dolores.”
