    First new single in 16 years from The Cure. Live bootlegs of this have been around for six months or so but this is the official studio version.

    I was very late to appreciate The Cure. I actively disliked them in the 80s and 90s, but at some point in the mid-2010s something changed and they suddenly became one of my favourites. Maybe I grew up. Or maybe I found my inner angsty teenager. Who knows. But songs like Alone have become such a big part of not just my music rotation, but me. There's something about Robert Smith's songwriting, voice and lyrics that seem to speak directly to me these days.

    It is exciting to get to look forward to the first new Cure record of my life, so to speak. I don't think there's another upcoming album that I'm looking forward to so much.
