The musical career of The Cure is one of the most unique and prolific in the history of rock and pop. The Cure is one of those bands that are essential to hear at some point in childhood, adolescence, and then as an adult, a bunch of different times, different musical styles combined in songs both happy with party mood but also dark and with introspection. At the time when we still heard the radio, The Cure was always on the top lists; this legendary British band has managed to cover in their songs so many emotions within the broad spectrum of the human psyche. All of course, thanks to the lyric of the charismatic Robert Smith, one of the best rock and pop composers of the last thirty years.
The beginnings of The Cure are of course marked by “Three Imaginary Boys” (1979), their first album with a slight dark punk influence that was shown as a solid band but still with a lot to discover their full potential, both in the studio and on the new sounds composition. It is known that around 1979, The Cure was on tour with Siouxsie and the Banshees. Unexpectedly, the guitarist of the Banshees left the band and Robert Smith took his place during the rest of the tour, while still playing with The Cure. Based on this intense experience, Robert Smith got to know about the potential that his music could reach, a density much deeper and a new staging. As a result, the style of The Cure changed drastically, leading to their three classic albums of post punk: “Seventeen Seconds” (1980), “Faith” (1981) and “Pornography” (1982). These three albums were much more directed towards what was defined then as gothic rock, dark music, evocative, introspective, and violent. “Pornography” was also the first of a trilogy that includes the later albums “Disintegration” (1989) and “Bloodflowers” (2000), albums with which Robert Smith wanted to portray the darker and poetic side of The Cure.
Of course, The Cure also composed love and joy songs as “Just Like Heaven”, “Why can not I be you”, “In Between Days”, “Love cats”, among many others. The ability of the band to compose high quality pop, never disappeared despite their gothic rock influence. Nowadays, when attending a concert of The cure, one should prepare for a “tour de force” of more than three hours of uninterrupted music in which, Robert Smith and his band take you through a whirlwind of emotions, from sadness to joy.
