The Cure are releasing their 13th studio album in a very unique way. The band will be putting out a new song on the 13th of each month for 13 months. The first song is called "The Only One" and came out yesterday. Let the Cure flow to your ears...
I really like this track. I was a huge fan of Pornography and Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me. There have been hits and misses over the years. To my ears this is what I want from The Cure. Dark and brooding but still contemporary. Robert's voice sounds solid.
The next single is called "Freakshow" and will be released June 13th. Both tracks were produced by Robert Smith and Keith Uddin. Songs for July 13th and August 13th will be announced in the coming weeks.
I'm still not sold on the idea of releasing these tracks over the course of a year. Although the fact that nearly everything the major labels try to do right now is a disaster makes me think maybe it's not such a bad idea. We'll see how stoked you are about hearing songs 6 and 7 in November.
