The Cure’s long-awaited album Songs Of A Lost World has debuted at #1 on the UK charts and #4 on the Billboard 200, marking a historic moment for the band. This is their first UK #1 in over 30 years, a testament to the enduring appeal of their sound. This album is their first new release in 16 years, and fans have welcomed it with open arms. "Songs Of A Lost World" crafted by Robert Smith and produced alongside Paul Corkett, features an iconic lineup of Cure members: Simon Gallup, Jason Cooper, Roger O'Donnell, and Reeves Gabrels; reaffirming The Cure's place as one of the most influential bands in modern music. With over 50,000 sales in the UK alone, Smith expressed heartfelt gratitude on the album’s success saying:
It is enormously uplifting, genuinely heartwarming to experience such a wonderful reaction to the release of the new Cure album - to everyone who has bought it, listened to it, loved it, believed in us over the years - THANK YOU!”
Praised as a “triumph of craft and feeling” by Stereogum and hailed by Rolling Stone as the best since Disintegration, "Songs Of A Lost World" delivers haunting, emotionally charged tracks that are unmistakably Cure, blending goth grandeur with mature introspection.
The album art, created by Smith with longtime collaborator Andy Vella, incorporates Janez Pirnat’s 1975 sculpture Bagatelle. Fans can experience the full emotional depth of the album, available now via Fiction Records and Capitol Records.
