Aggro Femme

Unless you live under a rock, or for some strange reason are not a Cranberries fan, “Are You Listening?” is the debut solo album of the Voice of the Cranberries, Dolores O’Riordan, and it couldn’t be better. Whereas the Cranberries are slightly more pop-rockish and marginally political, O’Riordan on her own is mournful and introspective, yet wise. This review is largely premature and sorely lacking, as I haven’t listened to the entire album yet (*slaps her own wrist*), but among my favorite songs so far are “Human Spirit,” “Accept Things,” “Apple of My Eye,” “Angel Fire” and “Ordinary Day,” the last being the best. Give it a listen. Or five hundred.
