"A hopeful Cranberries gem that turns New York’s dark history into a celebration of memories, resilience, and new beginnings"
“New New York”
THE CRANBERRIES
Stars: The Best of 1992–2002 (2021)
Stars: The Best of 1992–2002 is a compilation album and DVD from the Irish band the Cranberries, released in 2002 by Island Records.
Some of the tracks on the album are different versions of the songs provided in earlier albums.
The first 17 tracks contain all of the band's singles through 2002 in chronological order.
The album also contains two new tracks: "New New York" and "Stars".
“New New York” was written by Dolores O’Riordan after the September 11, 2001 attacks.
The Cranberries were in Stockholm when they first learned about the attacks. They watched the television coverage as the second plane hit the World Trade Center.
Dolores later visited New York for the first time after 9/11 in May 2002. She went to Ground Zero on May 30, 2002, and what she saw became the emotional foundation of the song. She described seeing a city where the initial pain was beginning to transform into hope for rebirth.
