Songs of a Lost World is the fourteenth studio album by English rock band the Cure, released on 1 November 2024 via Fiction,[4]: 113 Lost Music, Universal,[5] Polydor, and Capitol Records.[6] It is the band's first release of new material in 16 years since the release of 4:13 Dream in 2008. All the songs on the album were composed solely by singer/guitarist Robert Smith, for the first time since the 1985 album The Head on the Door. It is also their first studio album to feature guitarist Reeves Gabrels. The record was released a day after Halloween at Smith's request.
Upon release, the album received critical acclaim, with particular praise for the lyrics, dark sound,[7] and Smith's vocals.[8] It was also a commercial success, being their first album since Wish (1992) to reach number one in the UK,[9] and was also one of the fastest selling albums of 2024, having at one point outsold the entire top 10 of the week combined.[10] It also reached number one in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, the Netherlands, Poland, Sweden and Switzerland.
