One year after the death of Cranberries singer Dolores O'Riordan, her band mates have announced their final album In the End, a collection of songs O'Riordan worked on prior to her January 15, 2018 death. The Cranberries also shared In the End‘s first single, the catchy "All Over Now."
O'Riordan and band mate Noel Hogan began working the songs that would ultimately appear on In the End while touring in May 2017, with the duo writing and demoing 11 songs that winter. "Dolores was so energized by the prospect of making this record and to getting back out on the road to play the songs live," Hogan said in a statement.
However, before the Cranberries could play the demoes for their record label BMG, O'Riordan died in a London hotel room following a "tragic accident." Following months of mourning, her Cranberries band mates listened back to O'Riordan's vocals for the album and, after receiving the full support of O'Riordan's family, enlisted producer Stephen Street — who worked on four Cranberries album, including their breakout Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We? — to help complete the album.
