They're back! It's been 17 years since one of my all-time favorite bands released an album. Asked in an interview why now, after so many years? Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith said, "because we have something to say."
Both at the age of 61, Orzabal and Smith have done a lot of living. "When we started off..."said Orzabl, "we were adolescents who blamed our parents for everything. And now having been through this as parents, I realize that you can’t cure life, that a large part of life IS tragic, but what you can do is connect, and it’s through that connection you find 99 percent of the answers."It's Orzabal and Smith's searching for answers..on the death of Ozrabal's wife, the pandemic, toxic masculinity, and much of what the world has experienced over the past few years, that has pushed their creative process and music forward.
Forward thinking, moving, and sounding is often challenging for bands that have been together as long as Tears For Fears. But almost forty years on, the band sounds and feels as strong and amazingly relevant as ever.
