Just months after Songs of a Lost World’s arrival, \u201cthe band went back into Rockfield Studios to record 13 more songs for a follow-up album\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tWhile it took 16 years for the Cure<\/a> to release a new album before the arrival of 2024\u2019s Songs of a Lost World<\/a>, fans likely won\u2019t have to wait nearly that long for Robert Smith and company\u2019s next studio LP.<\/p>\n \n\tThe band\u2019s official website updated its lengthy bio section<\/a> in recent weeks, with fans noticing one especially noteworthy sentence added to the career-spanning write-up: \u201cIn March 2025 the band went back into Rockfield Studios to record 13 more songs for a follow up album.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tAdditionally, the bio noted that Smith also went \u201cback into the studio to help reedit and remix The Show of a Lost World film \u2026,\u201d which is likely the in-the-works concert film of a November 2024 performance at London\u2019s Troxy, where they performed Songs of a Lost World in its entirety as well as other Cure classics.<\/p>\n \n\tSmith previously hinted that the gap between Songs of a Lost World and the band\u2019s next endeavor wouldn\u2019t take as long as the time between 2008\u2019s 4:13 Dream and their latest album, as the group recorded three LPs\u2019 worth of music over the past few years.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cThis is jumping about, but we recorded about 25 or 26 songs in 2019. We recorded three albums in 2019; that\u2019s always been the problem. I\u2019ve tried to get three albums completed,\u201d Smith said in an interview a month before Songs of a Lost World\u2019s release.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cIt will work out this time. Having finished this one, the second one is virtually finished as well. The third one is a bit more difficult because, well if we get that far \u2026 Talking about the third album, you see what I mean? I just can\u2019t help myself.\u201d<\/p>\n \t\tTrending Stories<\/p>\n \n\tIn the Shows of a Lost World Tour that preceded the 2024 album, the Cure debuted a handful of songs live that ultimately ended up on the LP itself. However, songs like \u201cAnother Happy Birthday<\/a>,\u201d which the band also premiered during the trek, remain unreleased and likely destined for the band\u2019s next album, or the album after that.<\/p>\n \n\tWhile no release date or other details were revealed, expect talk of the new album to escalate ahead of the Cure\u2019s headlining sets at Primavera<\/a> and Isle of Wight<\/a> next year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Just months after Songs of a Lost World’s arrival, \u201cthe band went back into Rockfield Studios to record…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":82765,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[156,157,111,139,69,63526],"class_list":{"0":"post-82764","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-music","10":"tag-new-zealand","11":"tag-newzealand","12":"tag-nz","13":"tag-the-cure"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/82764","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=82764"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/82764\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/82765"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=82764"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=82764"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=82764"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
