Robert Smith says a new album is ready to go (as a companion piece to "Songs Of A Lost World) and then also ANOTHER album filled with "completely random stuff". 2 new albums on deck!
The Cure recently ended their 16-year album hiatus with "Songs Of A Lost World," but frontman Robert Smith revealed that another album is nearly ready as a companion piece. A third album is also in the works, featuring random late-night studio recordings that are different from their usual style. Smith teased that the upcoming albums will explore different subjects and emotions, with the band receiving positive reactions to their new music. The Cure is gearing up for a busy year ahead, with hints of a 2025 tour and anniversary plans on the horizon. He chatted about all of it with Absolute Radio-
Via UK Yahoo News:
"There is another album which is pretty much ready to go. It's sort of its companion piece. There's a third one which is completely different. It's really kind of random stuff, like late-night studio stuff. But some of it is really good actually, it's just very very different."
The 65-year-old musician continued: "This 'Songs of a Lost World' album is a really emotional piece of work and the companion piece, it's not quite as dark but it explores other subjects a little bit more.
"The third one is very odd, actually. I haven't finished the words to that one because my headspace has been much more focused on performing those ones.
"I don't really want it to end because it's been so good. The reaction to the new music has been so, so great. It's been really lovely to feel people giving us all the love."
