The Cure Set to Drop New Single ‘Alone’ Later This Week
The Cure to Release First New Single in 16 Years: "Alone" Set to Drop This Week
After a long period of dormancy that lasted more than a decade, iconic British rock band The Cure is poised to make a thunderous return to the music scene with the release of a brand new single, "Alone." This highly anticipated track is set to debut on Thursday, September 26, marking the band’s first release of original material since 2008’s 4:13 Dream.
Fans have eagerly awaited new sounds from the band since they teased the possibility of new studio work back in 2019. Rumor has it that "Alone" will serve as the lead single for a forthcoming album, purportedly titled Songs Of A Lost World. The buzz surrounding the new music has reached fever pitch, with old and new fans alike longing to see if the band still delivers the haunting melodies and immersive soundscapes that defined their legacy.
Catch a sneak peek of "Alone" through a brief snippet released on social media here. The full premiere is set to take place during Mary Anne Hobbs’ morning show on BBC Radio 6 Music sometime between 10:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. BST. Be sure to tune in—this is a moment that could easily become a touchstone for both the band’s legacy and the current musical landscape.
But that’s not all. The Cure is also set to release live renditions of two additional new tracks, "And Nothing Is Forever" and "I Can Never Say Goodbye," captured on eco-vinyl, demonstrating their commitment to both artistic expression and sustainability.
With the release of Songs Of A Lost World confirmed for November 1, fans have been receiving postcards that herald the album’s arrival. Notably, the cover art and release news was heralded with a poster erected outside the Crawley pub where it all began—where The Cure played their first ever show. It’s a poignant reminder of how far they’ve come, yet how tethered they remain to their roots.
The Cure’s return not only reignites excitement among their dedicated fanbase but also opens up questions about the state of post-pandemic music—a time ripe for experimentation and emotional storytelling. As they gear up to unveil Songs Of A Lost World, it’s clear that the band’s timeless essence remains, and they are prepared to captivate a new generation of listeners with their enchanting sound and profound lyrics.
