The Cure: 16 years later, the group is back with a new album

The legendary group of the 80s, The Cure, returns after 16 years of absence. Their new album does not deviate from the tone used at the time to the delight of enthusiasts.

Formed in 1978, The Cure has enjoyed a successful career with more than 30 million albums sold worldwide. But The Cure is also a style: messy hair, androgynous makeup and a cadaverous complexion. The style of this legendary group was imitated by thousands of enthusiasts during the 80s.

« What stays in my mind is this hair, this legendary singer », « çwas part of the music », justify fans of the group. Friday, November 1, Robert Smith, aged 65, presents his 14th album composed of eight tracks, marked by mourning. “ I wrote this in one go, I was outside and I said to myself: this is what I feels”. Since his first single, the singer has been obsessed with death and loneliness with often very dark lyrics. With this new album, The Cure emphasizes an incurable melancholy.
