The Cure Teases New Music After 16-Year Wait
After 16 years of waiting for new music from The Cure, the beloved goth rock godheads have finally made a comeback. Last week, they released the broody track “Alone,” and now they have teased another morose song called “Endsong.”
Preview of “Endsong”
The 15-second instrumental preview of “Endsong” on the band’s Instagram Story showcases the signature turbulent songcraft of The Cure. With layers of chiming guitars, churning drums, and an overall foreboding vibe, the track sets the tone for their upcoming album.
Robert Smith Talks About the New Album

Smith expressed regret for discussing the album prematurely in 2019, as the band was still in the early stages of production. Despite setbacks and delays, he emphasized the importance of nailing down the opening and closing songs of an album to bring the project into focus.
