“This is the end of every song that we sing / The fire burned out to ash, and the stars grown dim with tears,” Robert Smith hauntingly sings in the original track.

While the Instagram post is now unavailable, it featured the remix as the sixth slide, showcasing the excitement from the audience. Four Tet’s remix brings a vibrant and danceable vibe to an already emotional piece, creating a unique experience for everyone in attendance.

Back in 2022, Four Tet’s musical prowess was acknowledged as one of his tracks featured on the Eat Your Own Ears Recordings EP 1, alongside Robert Smith’s rendition of Ride’s ‘Vapour Trail’. Fans have been chomping at the bit for more collaborations between these two brilliant artists.

The Cure's Recent Success

The Cure has recently bagged their first Number One album in the UK in over 32 years with Songs Of A Lost World. This release was met with widespread acclaim, including a five-star rating from one review source, which hailed the album as a “masterwork of ethereal beauty and raw emotional depth.”

The review noted, “Merciless? Yes, but there’s always enough heart in the darkness and opulence in the sound to hold you and place these songs alongside The Cure’s finest.”

Not only did this album feature ‘Alone’—the lead single that marked a 16-year gap since their last release—but it has also been recognized as one of the best songs of 2024, proving The Cure still has the magic that captivated fans in the past.

Looking Ahead

Smith hinted at the potential for more music to come, suggesting that another two records could be on the way. As fans, we can only hope this is true! For now, Songs Of A Lost World serves as a powerful testament to Smith’s personal journey, with themes of mortality interspersed with vibrant colors and sounds.

The Cure is clearly still capable of crafting music that resonates deeply, and with Four Tet’s remix of ‘Alone,’ we're reminded of the endless possibilities that lie in the fusion of different musical styles.
