After a series of cryptic teasers, the Cure have confirmed their new single, “Alone,” will premiere at 7 AM ET on Thursday (Sept. 26) during Mary Anne Hobbs’s BBC Radio 6Music show. The track is expected to appear on Songs of a Lost World, the first new Cure album since 2008, which is rumored to be out on Nov. 1.
“Alone” is one of several songs debuted during the Robert Smith-led band’s 2023 tour, along with “Endsong,” “A Fragile Thing,” “Another Happy Birthday,” “And Nothing Is Forever” and “I Can Never Say Goodbye.”
