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.“

“102” is available on streaming platforms and YouTube (audio)

Remind me of you
And I’m consumed

You said we’d met up before
Up in the Cosmos
The very big Cosmos – My Girl Ahhh
I see your face in a picture
I hear one of the hundred and one songs that
Remind me of you
And I’m consumed
Ahhh oooh
Ahhh oooh
Make it a hundred and two
Ahhh oooh
Ahhh oooh
This song is just for you
Ahhh oooh
Ahhh oooh
Will I ever know what to do
Ahhh oooh
Ahhh oooh
This song is just for you
I wear the Cross that you gave me
I keep it in a safe place
It holds your Grace
A Feather falls from the sky
And I hear one of the hundred and one songs that
Remind me of you
Ahhh oooh
Ahhh oooh
Make it one hundred and two
Ahhh oooh
