Robert Smith, frontman of The Cure, has described their upcoming album 'Songs Of A Lost World' as his most personal work to date, hinting at the possibility of two additional albums in the future.

The album's opening track, 'Alone', reflects themes of love and emotion, resonating deeply with fans.

The closing track, 'Endsong', spans ten minutes and revisits themes of mortality and solitude, encapsulating the album's overarching messages.

The album will include eight songs, featuring previously released singles and tracks debuted during recent tours.

At 65 years old, Smith acknowledges that his songwriting perspective has evolved, allowing him to reflect his current reality in the music.

Smith noted that The Cure has not released new music since 2008, which has allowed them to focus on their extensive catalog during live performances.

To celebrate the album's release, The Cure will perform an intimate launch gig at Troxy in London on November 1, with proceeds supporting War Child.

Smith has been vocal against dynamic pricing in the concert industry, labeling it a scam driven by greed and urging artists to take a stand against it.

The band believes in creating goodwill with fans by keeping ticket prices reasonable, allowing them to spend more on merchandise and refreshments.

In May 2024, the Justice Department sued Live Nation and Ticketmaster for monopolizing the concert industry, which Smith argues harms fans.

In addition to the album, Smith is working on a definitive documentary about The Cure, aiming to provide his perspective and address misconceptions about the band.

Looking ahead, the first phase of The Cure's farewell will begin in the fall of 2025 with a new world tour.
