It was in 2008 that Robert Smith and his associates entered the market with 4:13 Dream and also for this reason Songs from a lost world, the new album, available from November 1, arouses great anticipation among Cure fans. In reality, during these sixteen years, contacts between the English post-punk group and its audience have never been interrupted, in fact The Cure, among the groups that have marked the history of rock, to the point of winning a place in the prestigious Rock and Roll Hall of Famehave maintained a very solid live activity. Some songs from Songs Of A Lost World have already been offered to their audience during their last tour. Shows from a lost world90 dates in 33 countries and more than 1 million 300 thousand spectators. Including Haloa song available on digital platforms that anticipates the new album and with which The Cure opened each date of their tour. But not only, Haloas Robert Smith himself explains, is the result of a long research effort to find the starting point: “It's the song that unlocked the album, as soon as we recorded this piece, I realized this should be the opening song and felt the whole record come into focus. For a while I tried to find the right opening phrase for the right song that would pave the way for the project, working on the concept of “being alone”, always with the nagging feeling of already knowing what it should be. be the opening sentence. opening… as soon as we finished recording, I remembered the poem Related by the English poet Ernest Dowson… and that's when I realized that the song – and the album – had become something concrete.
The story of the new album
The first time the Cure publicly spoiled their return to the studio was on September 12, 2011. Roger O'Donnell, interviewed on Radio Devon, a local station in the BBC's orbit, responded to a direct question: “A lot of people will be very, very, very happy before long. In reality, as we have noted, a lot of time has passed, more than a decade, and now there will only be a series of postponements. In February 2020, the band were recognized at the NME Awards as Best headliner of the festivalon this occasion Robert Smith confirms that work on the new album is well underway, that a valid amount of music has been recorded to be able to compose two albums, but then Covid breaks out and work stops again. On March 22, Smith spoke about the new album again, announcing the title and the September release. The title will be kept, the release date definitely not, in fact we will have to wait two more years. But finally the time has come, we have to wonder at this point if and when a second new album announced by the English group will also be released, one which, according to Robert Smith, should be “more joyful and more lively”. “.
