The Cure: Singer Robert Smith confirms new album
For ten long years fans of British cult band The Cure had to wait for new music. But that's the end, as singer Robert Smith (59) in the South African radio show "CapeTalk" confirmed. On the occasion of a performance of the British band in Cape Town, South Africa, this Thursday (March 21), the musician was a guest on the show.
"We've just recorded a new album for the first time in ten years," Smith said. The frontman of the legendary band, which will be recorded in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on March 29, did not reveal much more about the untitled album. But he promised that it would sound exactly as the fans would expect. "We cover different styles of music, but because it's us who do that, it sounds like us," says Smith.
When the new studio album appears, is also not known. In May, The Cure will be celebrating the anniversary of their hit album with four "Disintegration 30th Anniversary Show" concerts in Sydney. Over the summer, the musicians perform at various festivals, including the "Nova Rock Festival" (14.6.) In Austria, the "Southside Festival" (21.6.) And the "Hurricane Festival" (23.6.) In Germany. The finale is the "Rock en Seine" festival in Paris on the 23rd of August.
