However, in early 2018, O’Riordan died from an accidental drowning in London. After nearly a decade, the quartet returned with 2012’s Roses and 2017’s Something Else. They continued down this path into the 21st century before taking an extended hiatus in 2003 to pursue solo efforts. By the time of their third album, 1996’s To the Faithful Departed, they had added distorted guitars to their sonic palette and began crafting more socially conscious music. Following “Linger,” the Cranberries quickly became international stars, as both their 1993 debut album, Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can’t We?, and its 1994 follow-up, No Need to Argue, sold millions of copies and produced a string of hit singles.
It wasn’t until the lush ballad “Linger” became a worldwide hit in 1993 that the band achieved mass success. Led by vocalist Dolores O’Riordan, whose keening, powerful voice was the most distinctive element of the group’s sound, they initially had little impact in the United Kingdom. Combining the melodic jangle of post-Smiths indie guitar pop with the lilting, trance-inducing sonic textures of late-’80s dream pop and adding a slight Celtic tint, the Cranberries became one of the more successful groups to emerge from the pre-Brit-pop indie scene of the early ’90s.
