The Cure Unveils Exciting Remix Album Inspired by ‘Songs of a Lost World’

Robert Smith’s Vision for the Project
Leading the project, Robert Smith expressed his enthusiasm for the remixes, stating that the idea was sparked after receiving some “unsolicited remixes” that he found compelling. He noted, “I was interested in the fact that there are all kinds of dance music in Cure and the entire album sounded like it would be completely reinterpreted by others.”
Album Editions and Charitable Efforts
The Lost World Mix will be available in both a Deluxe Edition (3-CD or Vinyl LP) and standard editions (2-CD or Vinyl LP). All proceeds from the album will benefit War Child UK, highlighting The Cure’s commitment to supporting children affected by conflict.
