The Cure är ett ikoniskt brittiskt band som har förtrollat lyssnare världen över sedan 1970-talet.
Med Robert Smiths karismatiska röst och unika stil i spetsen har de skapat en tidlös blandning av gotisk rock,
postpunk och new wave. Bandet är känt för att skapa magiska kontraster – från mörka, känslomässigt laddade ballader
till energiska, hitlåtar som får dig att vilja dansa.
Klassiker som "Friday I’m in Love", "Just Like Heaven" och "Boys Don’t Cry" har inte bara definierat en generation, u
tan även cementerat The Cure som en av de mest inflytelserika grupperna i musikhistorien.
THE CURE - SONGS OF A LOST WORLDThe album SONGS OF A LOST WORLD, their 14th studio release, is their first in 16 years. Songs from the record were previewed during The Cure's 90-date, 33-country 'Shows Of A Lost World' tour, for more than 1.3 million people to overwhelming fan and critical acclaim.
Speaking about ALONE, the opening track on SONGS OF A LOST WORLD, Robert Smith says, "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."
SONGS OF A LOST WORLD was written and arranged by Robert Smith, produced and mixed by Robert Smith & Paul Corkett and performed by The Cure - Robert Smith: Voice / guitar / 6string bass / keyboard, Simon Gallup: Bass, Jason Cooper: Drums / percussion, Roger O'Donnell: Keyboard, Reeves Gabrels: Guitar. The album was recorded at Rockfield Studios in Wales.
Robert Smith created the sleeve concept, and Andy Vella, a long-time Cure collaborator, handled the album's art and design. The cover art features Bagatelle, a 1975 sculpture by Janez Pirnat.
