The Cure Unveil New Album and Track, "Alone"

The Cure Unveil New Album and Track, "Alone"

Songs of a Lost World

The Cure return after 16 years with Songs of a Lost World, out November 1. Listen to "Alone" now.


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.

"Alone," the first song released from the album, opened every show on the tour and is available to stream now. The band will reveal the rest of the tracklisting for the record over the coming weeks at http://www.songsofalost.world/ and on their social channels.

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 ā€˜being aloneā€™, always in the back of my mind this nagging feeling that I already knew what the opening line should beā€¦ as soon as we finished recording I remembered the poem ā€˜Dregs' by the English poet Ernest Dowsonā€¦ and that was the moment when I knew the song - and the album - were real."

Initially formed in 1978, The Cure has sold over 30 million albums worldwide, headlined the Glastonbury festival four times and been inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 2019. They are considered to be one of the most influential bands to ever come out of the UK.

Songs Of A Lost World will be released as a 1LP, a Miles Showell Abbey Road half-speed master 2LP, marble-coloured 1LP, double Cassette, CD, a deluxe CD package with a Blu-ray featuring an instrumental version of the record and a Dolby Atmos mix of the album, and digital formats.
