The Cure Breaks the Silence: First New Material in 16 Years
In a move that’s set to thrill fans worldwide, The Cure has announced the release of its first new material in nearly two decades. The iconic British band, known for its brooding soundscapes and emotional depth, is dropping two new tracks: “And Nothing Is Forever” and “I Can Never Say Goodbye.” Both songs are live recordings captured in November 2022 and will be featured on a double A-side 12” Eco-Vinyl single.
A Musical Release with a Cause
These new releases aren’t just about the music, though. The Cure is channeling the proceeds towards Earth Percent, a climate charity dedicated to combating environmental crises. Fans eager to get their hands on these limited-edition singles can purchase signed copies through the band’s official website, ensuring their support for both the band and a critical cause.

Reflecting on a 16-Year Wait

Given the long gap, the release of these tracks has sparked speculation about whether more new music might be on the horizon. For now, though, fans can savor these two offerings, each a reminder of why The Cure remains one of the most enduring bands of their generation.
