An Anything but Ordinary Review

Many CranFans will be familiar with the video for Dolores’ song “Ordinary Day”, in which Dolores is chasing a mysterious little girl dressed in a red coat, through the streets of Prague. The video leaves the viewer with more questions than answers, but one blogger has written an in-depth analysis of the meanings behind the imagery used in the video and suggests their own interpretation.

jenesaisPOP: Lo nuevo de Dolores O’Riordan

Después de 6 años perdida pariendo hijos, metida en la trama inmobiliaria en Valencia o resolviendo denuncias de su niñera, la cantante de los Cranberries, Dolores O’Riordan, publicará su primer disco en solitario, Are You Listening?, el próximo 7 de mayo en Sanctuary Records, discográfica de Morrissey. En una semana presentará uno de los temas, "Angel Fire," en un concierto religioso-navideño al que suele asistir.

En todo este tiempo Dolores ha trabajado con Angelo Badalamenti en temas como "The Butterfly" o "Angels Go To Heaven" y también se han filtrado algunas maquetas más metaleras, como "In The Garden", o cristianas, como "Letting Go", así como otros títulos como "Black Widow" o "Croatia (qué miedo)". No se sabe nada sobre cuáles de estas canciones serán incluidas en su nuevo disco. En primavera repasaremos la carrera de este grupo tan capaz de lo mejor ("Linger", "I Can’t Be With You") y lo peor ("This Is The Day", "New New York"). Como en el caso de Garbage, los Cranberries no han anunciado su separación, sino un “descanso indefinido”.
