Curt Smith: Last News

Tears For Fears have shared a soothing new song from their forthcoming album ‘Songs For A Nervous Planet’.The track ‘Astronaut’ is the second to be lifted from the record which is out on October 25 after ‘The Girl That I Call Home’. You can listen to it below.“Emotionally it’s about this guy who doesn’t feel he belongs here and wants to be an astronaut floating out into space… a lot of people identify with the emotion of that song, that sense of alienation,” said the band’s Curt Smith in a statement.“Once we realised that we were going to end up doing more than just one new track for this album, Roland [Orzabal] sent me the original recording of ‘Astronaut’ and I had forgotten how good of a song it was as it gives you a sense of release,” Smith added.“It’s a horrible comparison but it’s the sorbet in between courses where you just can have a little breath and just float away.

Tears For Fears are heading for their third UK Number 1 album this Friday with The Tipping Point.

Annie Zaleski A new Tears for Fears album would be cause for celebration for fans under any circumstance, but especially so with “The Tipping Point” being their full-length in 18 years — a gap that has seen a lot of personal and professional tipping points come and go for Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith and their off-again, on-again teaming.Much has changed for Tears and Fears in the nearly two decades since 2004’s “Everybody Loves a Happy Ending” and their just-released seventh album. For starters, they’ve become increasingly popular touchstones for younger musicians and fans, thanks to TikTok popularity and an abundance of samples and covers.

Everybody Loves a Happy Ending, true to its title, seemed to put a satisfying capstone on their career, and the subsequent years of extensive touring as self-described “late-blooming road warriors” seemed like something between an epilogue and a victory lap. But defying expectations has been the theme of their late career, and after years coasting on their well-deserved iconic status, it turns out Tears for Fears had another album in them after all.The Tipping Point (★★★☆☆) is not only their first studio album in 17 years, but for Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith, it represents a kind of hard-won artistic freedom.

Tears for Fears have shared a new single called ‘Break The Man’ – check it out below.The song is the third taste of the group’s first album in 17 years, ‘The Tipping Point’, which is due to arrive on February 25 via Concord Records. In October 2021, the duo – comprised of Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith – released the record’s title track and last month, they released second single ‘No Small Thing’.‘Break The Man’ pays homage to women who fight against the patriarchy. “I feel that a lot of the problems we’ve been having as a country and even worldwide to a certain degree has come from male dominance,” Tears for Fears singer Curt Smith said of the single.“It’s a song about a woman who is strong enough to break the man.
