The Cure returned in 2024 with Songs of a Lost World, which marked their first new album in 16 years. But in a recent interview on John Kennedy’s Radio X show, frontman Robert Smith revealed that the band’s follow-up LP will arrive “hopefully before next summer.”
Smith told Kennedy that he’s been hard at work finishing the new album, which features a pair of songs that were intended for Songs of a Lost World but didn’t make the cut. “In 2019 we recorded 24 songs for what was going to be a double album, and those eight have come out,” Smith said, later elaborating that the new album will be “probably 10 songs.”
He continued: “The companion piece to Songs Of A Lost World, which will be out hopefully before next summer, is what I’m currently finishing. I just need to mix it. It’s not as dark in some ways,...

Sam Fender, Little Simz, and Harry Styles are among the artists shortlisted for the 2022 Mercury Prize.
The shortlist was unveiled in July, comprising 12 albums – from rap and jazz to indie and Cornish folk-rock – that will compete for the coveted award at a ceremony held this September.
This year’s entries are among the most eclectic in recent years. Little Simz is shortlisted for the second time with her critically adored Sometimes I Might Be Introvert, following on from her nod in 2019 for Grey Area.
Rock singer Sam Fender receives his debut nomination for his second LP, Seventeen Going Under, as does pop star Harry Styles, who has been shortlisted for his third studio album, Harry’s House. His record is arguably the most “pure pop” album to be shortlisted since Ed Sheeran’s controversial nomination in 2017.
First-time nominees make up most of this year’s nominees, following last year’s shortlist which included 10 debuts.
