It’s been a long 16-year wait for The Cure fans who can finally get their tastebuds into a new song.
The English post-punk rockers’ single, “Alone”, is sure to take fans straight back to the 80s and 90s.
It’s almost seven minutes long and features the band’s iconic, atmospheric synth lines and haunting vocals from frontman Robert Smith.
After a series of cryptic online teasers, it arrived on Thursday (local time) and marks the first song from their new album.
