The Cure’s iconic frontman, Robert Smith, has done it again and left fans surprised and excited with news about his band’s future. After an eagerly awaited album, “Songs of a Lost World,” which was released after a long 16-year hiatus, Smith announced that two more albums are in the making.

Recently, Smith appeared in a teaser clip for an interview with Absolute Radio’s Danielle Perry, sharing interesting details about the projects in the works. The first, a companion piece to “Songs of a Lost World,” is already nearing completion. While it may not go as deep into the darkness of its predecessor, it promises to explore new themes and emotions.

The second one is more experimental, late-night studio record. Smith describes it as “very odd” and “very different” from everything in the past of this band. The lyrics for the second album are still being written, but the music itself is already capable, so full of creativity.

Smith’s eagerness for the new sound is evident. He stated how much he appreciated that the album “Songs of a Lost World” received more than positive reviews, how this has been the driving force to create more music. More live performances by The Cure, such as the release-day concert of the album in the live album “Songs of a Live World,” only furthered their status in the history of rock and roll as one of its most enduring and influential.

As fans anxiously await the release of these new albums, it’s evident that The Cure is hardly done. With Smith’s creative well seemingly boundless and the band dedicated to their craft with an unrelenting sense of purpose, the future of The Cure looks brighter than ever.
