The Cranberries, the ’90s Irish rock band, have released a new song and announced a new album, their final work with their lead singer, Dolores O’Riordan.

O’Riordan died on Jan. 15, 2018. The song is called “All Over Now,” and the album “In the End” is available April 26 via BMG.

“I miss her awfully, specially today, as does the entire family. That said I can’t think of a more fitting way to commemorate the first anniversary of her passing and to celebrate her life than to announce to the world the release of her final album with the band,” O’Riordan’s mother, Eileen, said in a statement. “She was very excited about this new album and was really looking forward to its release. I have no doubt that she is happy now and would be delighted with today’s announcement.”

O’Riordan died by drowning due to alcohol intoxication. She was 46. O’Riordan was recording in England at the time, and her death was ruled a “tragic accident,” according to the coroner.

The Irish singer O’Riordan was known for her sweeping, anthemic voice and which enabled The Cranberries’ grungy pop songs like “Dreams,” “Linger,” “Zombie” to become staples of alt-rock radio.
