On Friday, The Cure returned with their first new album in 16 years, Songs of a Lost World.

The fourteenth studio album by the Cure, all the songs on the 14-track Songs of a Lost World were composed solely by its frontman Robert Smith.

The singer/guitarist described the album’s lead single, “Alone,” released in September, as “the song that unlocked the record.”

It is also their first studio album to feature Reeves Gabrels, having been a touring member since 2012, replacing Pearl Thompson, although previously Gabrels already featured on 1997’s single “Wrong Number.”

Songs of a Lost World was several years in the making, and was originally intended for release in 2019.

Five of the album’s songs were performed live in 2022 and 2023 during the Cure’s Shows of a Lost World tour.

Songs of a Lost World is available on all major streaming platforms and in various formats, including standard LP, double LP, exclusive indie-store colored vinyl, CD, deluxe CD with Blu-ray, and digital edition.

The last time the English rock band released an album was in 2008, 4:13 Dream.

Thin Lizzy are set to release their first album in more than 40 years.

Thin Lizzy – Acoustic Sessions, which is scheduled for release on January 24, will feature reimagined versions of songs from the Irish rock band’s first three albums, with archival contributions from late frontman Phil Lynott and former drummer Brian Downey.

Thin Lizzy cofounder and guitarist Eric Bell reimagined the songs from the band’s 1971 self-titled debut album, Shades Of A Blue Orphanage (1972), and Vagabonds Of The Western World (1973) by adding acoustic guitar to their tracks.

“I remember recording Eire from our debut album Thin Lizzy in 1971,” says Bell. “I wrote the main guitar part first on acoustic and then we built it up from there. I played the 12-string acoustic throughout the track and introduced the electric on top.

“This was useful in the studio in Belfast recently where we recorded fresh guitar parts to allow us to create new Thin Lizzy acoustic versions of some of our favourite songs, by recreating those original acoustic parts and adding the vocals which Philip laid down on the day and those original drum parts which Brian came up with in the original recording sessions,” he adds.

Pre-order the album here.

Thin Lizzy – Acoustic Sessions Tracklist:

1. Mama Nature Said
2. A Song For While I’m Away
3. Eire
4. Slow Blues – E.B (Eric Bell Version)
5. Dublin
6. Whiskey In The Jar
7. Here I Go Again
8. Shades Of A Blue Orphanage
9. Remembering Pt. 2

Heart have revealed the support acts for their recently announced 2025 North American headlining tour.

The iconic rock band will be joined by a rotating cast of Squeeze, Cheap Trick, and Lucinda Williams on the trek.

The “Royal Flush Tour” kicks off with a two-night stand February 28th and March 1st at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas, billed as “An Evening with Heart,” with no opening acts.

For the next eight shows, from March 3rd in Los Angeles through March 14th in Portland, Oregon, Heart will be joined by Squeeze. Cheap Trick will then join the band for the next 10 dates, running from March 20th in Calgary through April 5th in Quebec City.

Lucinda Williams will be the special guest April 10th in Toronto and at the tour’s final concert, April 16th at Radio City Music Hall in New York City.

“Each of these acts can totally bring it all on their own. It’s an honor for us to be hitting the road with them next year,” said Heart singer Ann Wilson. “I’m especially thrilled to be doing a few gigs with my dear friend Lucinda. We’ve wanted to tour together for years!”

Heart guitarist Nancy Wilson added, “This tour promises to be super fun. Traveling with the likes of the ever fabulous Cheap Trick, and the Brit-pop studs Squeeze, not to mention the all-time songwriting muse Lucinda Williams. We are super stoked to get back out there and bring the Big 100% live RAWK!”

Heart were supposed to embark on a North American tour this past summer but had to postpone the dates when Ann Wilson was diagnosed with cancer. However, the band rescheduled the dates after Ann’s successful treatment.
