The Cure share new single 'Alone'

With their eagerly-awaited new album landing later this year, The Cure have now unveiled the first cut to be lifted from their forthcoming full-length.

The new single 'Alone' marks their first piece of original material since their 2008 LP '4:13 Dream', and will feature on their fourteenth studio album 'Songs Of A Lost World', which is set to land on the 1st November.

Speaking about the new offering, singer Robert Smith said, "It's the track that unlocked the record; as soon as we had that piece of music recorded I knew it was the opening song, and I felt the whole album come into focus. I had been struggling to find the right opening line for the right opening song for a while, working with the simple idea of ‘being alone’, always in the back of my mind this nagging feeling that I already knew what the opening line should be… as soon as we finished recording I remembered the poem ‘Dregs' by the English poet Ernest Dowson… and that was the moment when I knew the song - and the album - were real."
