Editor's review
Among iconic voices of '90s alternative music, there was Dolores O'Riordan and Bjork and everyone else. The Cranberries' lead singer turned a chirp into a weapon, and she does so again on her solo debut. "Are You Listening?" is urgent, riled, and gorgeous when it wishes.

Three adjectives that can be used to describe both album and artist. Sanctuary Records is thrilled to release Dolores O'Riordan's first solo effort, ARE YOU LISTENING? on May 15, 2007.
Taking her time after the demise of The Cranberries (who sold 40 million records worldwide), Dolores O'Riordan retreated to real life with her husband. She had three children and wrote over 30 songs. She never rushed. And when she was ready, she whittled those 30 songs down to the terrific 12 tracks that make up ARE YOU LISTENING?
A logical successor to The Cranberries, but a knowingly more mature effort, ARE YOU LISTENING? takes the listener on a journey of the heart. From the rage of "Black Widow," to the sweet romance of "Apple of my Eye" to the joy of first single "Ordinary Day," O'Riordan always was - and remains - one of the few vocalists that can capture emotion in a song.
It comes down to the voice. THAT voice. You know just where you were the first time you heard "Linger" or "Dreams" or "Zombie." That power remains intact when hearing ARE YOU LISTENING? Dolores O'Riordan is one of a handful of artists who can be identified from the second they sing their first note.
Co-produced by Youth, Dan Broadbeck and Rich Chycki, ARE YOU LISTENING? is a stunning debut from an artist who really has nothing to prove but everything to share.
