Free Music Review: I'm Listening ... Are You?
Hit: 4 Stars
The lead singer from The Cranberries, a band which captured all of my mid 90's angst and love has finally come out of a self induced real life to record a brilliant solo album. Now I have always loved Dolores and her acrobatic vocal take with her ever so prominent Irish yodle just warbling beneath the surface, and though by the end of The Cranberries recording career, I myself had tired a tad of Dolores' take on music but with Are You Listening? she comes full circle.
Some of my all time fav Cranberries songs are the hard rock edges ones like "Zombie", "Salvation" and "Promises" and though a lot of the slower ballads were incredible ("Linger", "Pretty") I've always been a bit of a rocker. Luckily, Dolores has come through on this, not that she made a rock album per se but she didn't rely only on ballads and she didn't go all "Zombie"-esque alterna punk either, instead she is right down the middle and every single song on here is great.
I'm through 6 songs singing along with Miss O before I even realize the album is half over. Of my recent purchases this has been on contant rotation. The opening single "Ordinary Day" kicks it from the beginning and the fun and fierceness just keeps getting better, with songs like "Human Spirit", the rocking and bitchy "Loser" and my all time favorite (this week) "October".
Are You Listening? Poster
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"). --Kathleen C.
