Hear The Cranberries' Emotional Unreleased Outtake 'Íosa'

The Cranberries have issued an unreleased track titled "Íosa."

The song, which was penned by late frontwoman Dolores O'Riordan in memoriam of her grandfather, appears on the band's forthcoming 25th-anniversary reissue of their debut full-length, Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We?

The exclusive melody arrives from remaining bandmates Fergal Lawler, Noel and Mike Hogan as a tribute to the departed singer who died in January. Enunciated by O'Riordan's piercing vocals and moody lyrics, “Íosa" (which translates to "Jesus" in Gaelic) remains the rockers' only tune to be performed in their native tongue.

The four-disc collector's item drops on October 19 via UMG. It comes complete with rarities from session outtakes to unheard demos to a reconstructed version of their original full-length as well as their debut EP.

The anniversary serves as a consecration to O'Riordan, who was revealed to have died by drowning due to alcohol intoxication.

As we reported, the remaining members are going their separate ways after finishing their last album with O'Riordan's vocals, In The End, which arrives next year.

"Dolores had an awful lot going on and she was on a roll of being able to write. Lyrically, the new album is very strong," Hogan said of their last offering to The Guardian. "We will do this album and then that will be it. There is no need to continue."
