The band's first new album in 16 years arrives in full on November 1st. The Cure Release “A Fragile Thing” From New Album Songs of a Lost World: Stream Jo Vito

Something has evidently changed in the interim, and on the majestically desolate Songs of a Lost World, Smith is a musician operating at the height of his melancholic powers. It’s a gorgeously grim listen in which the singer reckons with the deaths of his parents and his brother, Richard, within a relatively short time.

The Cure have shared another new song, “A Fragile Thing,” from their upcoming album, Songs of a Lost World, out Nov. 1.

The Cure have launched the second single from their upcoming studio album Songs Of A Lost World. The plaintive A Fragile Thing follows the release of Alone last month and finds frontman Robert Smith singing of love and loss in typically despondent fashion.

The Cure have released “A Fragile Thing” as the second single from their upcoming album Songs of a Lost World, and have also revealed the full track list for what will be their first full-length in 16 years.

A FRAGILE THING” is the second track to be taken from THE CURE’s long-awaited new album, SONGS OF A LOST WORLD released on November 1st. The album, their 14th studio release, is their first in 16 years.
