The Cranberries honors Dolores O’Riordan with a special edition and Mexican voices
The Cranberries' drummer, Fergal Lawler, still gets emotional when he remembers the group's singer Dolores O’Riordan (1971-2018), one of the most recognizable voices of 90s rock, and listens to her again in the deluxe edition that the band has decided to release as a tribute to the Irishwoman after 33 years of their first album ‘Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can’t We?’.
TL;DR
- The Cranberries released a special deluxe edition of their debut album 'Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can’t We?' to honor singer Dolores O’Riordan.
- The new edition features new mixes, artistic notes, and covers by Mexican artists Bratty and ANASOF.
- ANASOF's cover of 'Dreams' includes a duet with O'Riordan's original vocals, sung partly in Spanish.
- Drummer Fergal Lawler stated O'Riordan had great respect for Latin America and would have appreciated the inclusion of young artists from the region.
- Lawler also mentioned the potential for a documentary about the band, but emphasized the need for a respectful approach due to the emotional nature of revisiting O'Riordan's legacy.
