The Cranberries Release a New Album, ‘Something Else,’ and Announce a New North American Tour

Beloved Irish Band To Make Stops at Wiltern, Masonic in SF

By DOTTIE PARIS

The Cranberries have released Something Else, featuring re-worked renditions of their major hits, as well as brand new material, including the single “Why.”

Something Else is available today via BMG on digital and CD formats, and includes Cranberries songs like “Linger,” “Zombie,” “Dreams,” and “Ode To My Family.”

Last year, over two weeks in the University of Limerick, at the home of the Irish Chamber Orchestra, Dolores laid down vocals as small booths were created to record the instruments as if live.

Cranberries’ ‘Something Else’ available now

She now sings her songs not as a young lady, but as a mature woman now, with the capacity to throw her life at the music, the benefit of hindsight, she said.

“I prefer them like this,” she says of the new recordings of old songs, “With a little bit more experience behind them, with a new lease of life. They sound fresh again.”
