Title: Linger (The Cranberries Cover) I've decided that every once in a while (or so) I'll do a cover of one of my favorite songs, because it's a lot of fun and you can learn amazing things by analyzing the original songs. Since a lot of people have told me that my harmonies sound like The Cranberries, I figured it would make sense to have my little girl band cover a song of theirs, in this case Linger. Hope you enjoy it, and feedback (the good, the bad and the ugly) of any kind is very welcome! Link: Linger (Cover by Goldmania Bella) Some technical information:Style: ADORN.STY The band:Bass: 1190 Drums: PopCountry16ths Guitars: 703, 3738, 3435, 3931, yours truly Strings, Synth, Basson, Bells and other blink: me, myself and I Vocals: Goldmania Bella PS: There seems to be some sort of misunderstanding about what of my work is AI and what is not. So, before you ask: - The music is normal BIAB stuff plus some instruments that I play myself.
The vocals are made with Synthesizer V, and although the company claims it's AI,
it's nothing more than a specialized MIDI synthesizer producing vocals as output.
The notes, their length, the lyrics, the prosody in general and everything else is done
by hand, not by an AI (like Suno or Udio) that is told to do it
- The lipsynced animation in the video is made by an AI (Hedra), the rest of the video
is made with a software called Magic Music Visualizer.

A big effort obviously went into this, and the results stand out.
Excellent.

Wow, that is an amazing vocal. Congrats on the humanizing nuances! Your performances and the BiaB crew are excellent. The vid is cool. Probably a lot quicker syncing than we do with lip synced "Janice vids"!  No need to parse it out any further. The mix lays it all out very nicely. Everything has its little place while working with well with its fellow tracks. Cool Indeed! J&B PS Regarding the AI and synth vocal comment ... well stated.
Our albums and singles are on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Pandora and more. If interested search on Janice Merritt. Thanks! Our Videos are here on our website.

Just fabulous. I mean, Dolores' original is just so perfect, there's hardly a point in covers. But you've really done it justice here. Hats off to you! RIP Dolores...

B.D. that was outstanding
Great mix

Deej Thanks Deej. When I do covers (okay, this is only the second one, but anyway), I always try to bring in my own style without destroying the mood of the original too much. Glad you like it!

Well done man!
I always liked this song and more generally the Cranberries.
Great job on the video as well.
RIP Dolores, you left way too soon . . . . heartbreaking.
https://soundcloud.com/user-646279677BiaB 2025 Windows For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.
