As reported in several Irish media today, Kellie Lewis – who was mentored by Dolores on The Voice of Ireland 2014 – released a new single called “102” to pay homage to Dolores and her “magic here on earth” as she explained to Hot Press

She believed in me and I miss her everyday. I’ve tried to write many songs in honour of Dolores but it took some time to compose the perfect tribute. I feel grateful that I ever had the chance to experience Dolores’ magic here on earth.
She was incredibly kind and funny and talented beyond belief. A true rock star, I was honoured to ever share space with her. Everything I feel is in 102; it spilled out of my heart and into this song. Writing it was healing, making it was healing, listening to it was healing.

The lyrics and orchestration of the song are likely to convey powerful and raw emotions for fans among us who share Kellie’s sense of loss, as this sumptuous “ode to Dolores” embodies the impact she had on the lives of those who either simply listened to her, or those who were blessed to know her.

The Dolores O’Riordan Estate posted the below message on Facebook

I Love Limerick describes the track as “not just a tribute – it’s a reflection of  admiration, inspiration, and the lasting impact of an unforgettable friendship.
