Are You Listening专辑介绍
The Cranberries乐队女主唱Dolores O’Riordan即将推出首张个人专辑。这张名为《Are You Listening》由先行单曲《Ordinary Day》为其开道。这张专辑由Youth和Dan Brobeck联合制作完成。录制工作则全部安排在O’Riordan在加拿大和都柏林的家中。
The Cranberries乐队的上一张专辑《Wake up and smell the coffee》要追溯到2001年，当时乐队宣称他们大概将在2004年解散。在一份声明中，主唱Dolores说；“The Cranberries之后的时光是一块白板——没有压力也没有唱片合约。生命中的第一次，我完全自由了。我没有顾忌，这便是我最先开始音乐生涯时所拥有的感觉。在这里，一切都一目了然。”
“这张专辑唤醒了我的生命——一次我终于完成了的旅行。就好像是我跨过了一座桥，踏上了一个伟大的崭新的高原。我的生活和十年前相比完全不同，多了一种接纳包容的美妙感觉。再次发行音乐作品，这也是一段激动人心的时光。”这张专辑共收录了12首歌曲，推荐曲目包括《Apple of My Eye》、《Black Widow》、《In the Garden》、《Watch the Stars》和《Loser》。

It's been a long wait for the solo debut from Irish icon Dolores O'Riordan. After all, the Cranberries issued their swan song in 2001. After their break up, O'Riordan collaborated with Germany's Jam and Spoon, Italy's Zucchero, and David Lynch composer Angelo Badalamenti. She also appeared, as herself, in the 2006 comedy Click. All the while, she toiled away on her first solo effort. Fortunately, good things come to those who wait. Co-produced by Youth (the Verve, U2), Are You Listening? is a throwback to 1980s-era Siouxsie and the Banshees and Sinead O'Connor--sweeping keyboards, forceful drumming, and muscular guitar work. It may seem like a melodramatic move, but the music never overwhelms the slight yet steely figure at the center of the maelstrom, particularly on the lilting "Ordinary Day" and haunting "Black Widow." Cranberries fans expecting something more demure may be taken aback, but O'Riordan's supple voice should win over most skeptics. And lyrically, she compensates with tender words inspired by her husband ("Apple of My Eye"), the death of her mother-in-law ("Black Widow"), and the birth of her youngest child ("Ordinary Day").
