The Cure have released a second track from their forthcoming album, Songs Of A Lost World.
Titled A Fragile Thing, the song is available to stream now and will be included on the new LP, due for release on 1st November 2024.
Frontman Robert Smith says of the song: "A Fragile Thing is driven by the difficulties we face in choosing between mutually exclusive needs and how we deal with the futile regret that can follow these choices, however sure we are that the right choices have been made… it can often be very hard to be the person that you really need to be.”
The track follows the release of the album's opener, Alone, in September. Both tracks were previewed on The Cure's 2022 Shows Of A Lost World European tour.
The Cure have also confirmed the track listing of Songs Of A Lost World, their 14th studio album.

Recorded at Rockfield studios in Wales, the album was written and arranged by Robert Smith, produced and mixed by Smith Paul Corkett and performed by The Cure who comprise Smith, Simon Gallup (bass), Jason Cooper (drums), Roger O'Donnell (keyboards) and Reeves Gabrels (guitar),
Smith created the sleeve concept, and Andy Vella, who has worked with The Cure since 1981's Faith LP, handled the album's art and design. The cover features a photograph of a 1975 sculpture by Janez Pirnat called Bagatelle.
