The Cure Announces New Album “Songs Of A Lost World”, Shares New Song “Alone”
British rock band The Cure is back. The band has announced their fourteenth studio album “Songs Of A Lost World” will be released on November 1, 2024.
This marks their first album in 16 years since the 2008 album “4:13 Dream”.
The band recorded the album at Rockfield Studios in Wales with producer Paul Corkett.
All songs were written by the band frontman Robert Smith, who also co-produced the album.
The album was performed by Simon Gallup (bass), Roger O'Donnell (keyboards), Jason Cooper (drums) and Reeves Gabrels (guitar).
The artwork is designed by a long-time Cure collaborator Andy Vella. The album cover art features “Bagatelle” a 1975 sculpture by Janez Pirnat.
From the album, the band released first single called “Alone” on September 26, 2024.
The track was written and produced by Robert Smith, with production by Paul Corkett.- Robert Smith said of the song in a press release, “It's 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.”
