But, it wasn&#8217;t until Thursday that the band officially announced new music to accompany those performances.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Instead of posting to social media or sharing a press release, The Cure shared the news of a new album quietly with update to their official website. The subtle announcement, added to the tail end of the band&#8217;s lengthy <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thecure.com\/bio\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:bio;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">bio<\/a>, says, &#8220;In March 2025 the band went back into Rockfield Studios to record 13 more songs for a follow up album,&#8221; to their 2024 release, <em>Songs of a Lost World<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><em>Songs of a Lost World<\/em> was a record many fans believed might never come. Prior to its release, The Cure had not released a studio album since <em>4:13 Dream <\/em>in 2008. The band continued to perform together in the interim, but new music remained to be seen.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p>Olivia Rodrigo performs with Robert Smith of The Cure.

There are four incredibly sad songs still to come and I&#8217;m tempted to try and marry those with some that are slightly more left-field for the next record, and then leave the third record for something that&#8217;s very much more light and upbeat. That&#8217;s my intention; whether I get there or not is another thing entirely.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In June 2025, The Cure released <em>Mixes of a Lost World<\/em>, a 24-track album of remixes and reworks of songs by artists including <strong>Mogwai<\/strong>, <strong>Four Tet<\/strong>, <strong>Paul Oakenfold<\/strong>, <strong>Chino Moreno<\/strong>, and <strong>Orbital<\/strong>. That same month, Smith made headlines when he appeared on stage with <strong>Olivia Rodrigo<\/strong> during her <strong>Glastonbury<\/strong> headlining set to perform Cure classics.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The band also alluded to a cinematic chapter on the horizon in the quiet website update, stating that after his performance with Rodrigo, Smith headed &#8220;back into the studio to help re-edit and re-mix <em>The Show Of A Lost World<\/em> film&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><i>This story was originally reported by <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/parade.com\/news\/the-cure-hint-at-whats-next-after-quietly-wrapping-new-album\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Parade;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Parade<\/a> on Oct 17, 2025, where it first appeared in the <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/parade.com\/news\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:News;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">News<\/a> section.
