After weeks of clues surfacing around the internet, the truth is out:

The Cure are releasing a new album. Songs of a Lost World, the

band’s first LP since 2008’s 4:13 is set to arrive on November 1.

The tracklist will be revealed on their website sometime in the

coming weeks, but the album’s lead single, “Alone,” is out

“Alone” is, according to frontman Robert Smith, “the track

that unlocked the record; as soon as we had that piece of music

recorded I knew it was the opening song, and I felt the

whole album come into focus. I had been struggling to find

the right opening line for the right opening song for a while,

working with the simple idea of ‘being alone’, always in the back

of my mind this nagging feeling that I already knew what the

opening line should be… as soon as we finished recording

I remembered the poem ‘Dregs’ by the English poet Ernest Dowson…

and that was the moment when I knew the song—

and the album—were real.” Songs of a Lost World has been

teased for a few years now, stretching back to 2019 when

Smith mentioned that the band had been recording nearly

20 songs. The album never surfaced, however, though the Cure

were playing “And Nothing is Forever” and “I Can Never Say Goodbye”

at shows and introducing them as songs from their next record.

Stay in tune with music icons, Robert Smith and The Cure.
