[Em] Dolores O'Riordan was the [A] distinctive voice behind the multi [Dm]-million selling rock [G] band, The Cranberries.
Do you have to [D] let it linger?
In 1993 their debut single, Linger, became a [E] major hit, [A] catapulting the Irish group to international fame.
[N] Having funded The Cranberries for 14, 15 years, I was always kind of in a band
and there was always a security blanket to that.
But I kind of always felt that at a certain [G] stage in my life I'd like to emerge as a solo artist [Em] and the time had come.
[Am]
[F] Now [G] O'Riordan is releasing her [Em] first solo album.
It's called [Am] Are You Listening?
and it was inspired by her [F] life since The Cranberries.
[G] Over the four years there were a lot [Em] of [N] experiences which were, you know, very valid when it came to material, songwriting material.
There was extreme sadness [A] and there was extreme happiness.
I mean, on the sad side of things, my mother-in-law died and she had a very long, weary illness.
She died of cancer, so she had a very slow death and it was very, very sad to see somebody going [A#] through all that.
But [D] then a couple of years later my husband [G] and I had a baby girl, so that brought a [Em] lot of happiness back into life.
[Am]
[F] In [G] 1994 O'Riordan married The [Em] Cranberries tour manager Don Burton.
[Am] These days they live [F] with their children in both Ireland and [D] Burton's native Canada.
The [D#] album was largely written in their [C#] southern [C] Ontario cottage.
[A] This is where I [A#] come to write and escape and [F#] to kind of get inspired and get [F] into that creative zone.
It's really gorgeous because we're right on a lake which is [Am] frozen now.
It's really nice.
It's kind of a nice holiday home to have.
I looked [C] out the window, it [Am] rained today.
O'Riordan considers the songs on Are You Listening to be her most [F] personal to date.
[A] The singer attributes [D] that to the comfort of having her [Dm] own home rehearsal space and studio.
[A#] I used to have to go to these [D] huge studios and whatnot, but that's it.
This is the desk, [B] these are the speakers, this is, I think it's the amplifier, that's the little keyboard
which you can put your [Em] drums and everything down with this.
Beautiful [Am] girl, beautiful girl.
Music [G] critic Lisa Le Dusser has followed O [Em]'Riordan's career since The [Am] Cranberries.
40 million [A] records, that's a lot of fans.
And I'm [F#] sure a lot of fans that are going to be very happy to hear from her again.
[C] And people who have grown up at the same time that she was growing up.
Maybe [G] when they were 18 they could relate [C] to Linger, and when they were in [G] college they could relate to Zombie.
And now they're going to relate to songs about motherhood and family and reflecting on that part of their life.
[D] O'Riordan was only 18 when Linger topped the charts on both sides of the Atlantic.
[A] Fame and the isolation of constant touring [G] eventually led her to a period of depression.
[D] Looking back I always [G#] think that after No Need to Argue, our second album,
if I had taken a career break and came home [C] and took a few years off it wouldn't have happened.
But there was a certain amount of [G] pressure from everybody because you do become a commodity,
and a huge commodity at that, because that's what happened.
[E] But you get burnt out, you do have to [C] come home and take a break and get your feet back on the ground.
When I [G] think about Dolores from The Cranberries and where she might fit [F#] in the 21st century,
I [G] think a lot of people will appreciate her in the same way that they like Dido and these other sort of adult [F#] alternative,
more mature but [F] still cool [Am] female singers.
It's something a little bit different, a little bit more alternative but still very feminine.
There [B] were no boundaries for me on this record, and I'm just representing myself,
I'm not representing the three guys, so that in a way made me feel more creative freedom.
