Sanctuary Records is pleased to announce they have signed the multi-talented Dolores O'Riordan for her first solo album, ARE YOU LISTENING? The record will come out in North America on the Sanctuary Records imprint and in Europe on Sanctuary's newly reactivated Sequel label, which is focused on providing a home to contemporary artists, particularly those with an established fan base and are looking for an alternative to the major labels.
Dolores, iconic former lead singer of Ireland's The Cranberries, who sold in excess of 40 million albums worldwide with the band, will be releasing the lead single from her album in late April 2007 with the album itself slated for a May 8th 2007 release. Dolores will be embarking on a world tour in support of ARE YOU LISTENING Spring/Summer 2007.
Bob Cahill, Executive VP and GM of Sanctuary Records N.A said: "The Voice is outstanding and instantly recognizable, the songs are poignant and memorable, and her impact indisputable. We are fortunate to have the opportunity to introduce her solo career with this brilliant piece of work."
Adding to this, Joe Cokell, Sanctuary Records Worldwide CEO said:
"Dolores is a fabulous addition to our roster of newly signed artists. The record sounds absolutely brilliant & we are very excited about the release & are confident of having worldwide success during the course of next year."
