Parry was concerned at the state of The Cure's label's top band, and became convinced that the solution was for The Cure to reinvent its musical style. Parry managed to convince Smith and Tolhurst of the idea; Parry said, "It appealed to Robert because The Cure wanted to destroy The Cure anyway." With Tolhurst now playing keyboards instead of drums, the duo released the single "Let's Go to Bed" in late 1982. While Smith played the single off as a throwaway "stupid" pop song to the press, it became a minor hit in the UK, reaching number 44 on the pop charts; but was a big hit in Australia, reaching #15. It was followed in 1983 by two more successful songs: the synth-based "The Walk" (UK #12), and the jazz-influenced "The Lovecats," which became The Cure's first UK Top 10 reaching #7. They released these studio singles and their b-sides as the compilation album Japanese Whispers, designed by Smith for the Japanese market only, but released worldwide on the decision of the record company. The Cure same year, Smith also recorded and toured with Siouxsie & the Banshees, contributing The Cure's playing skills on their Nocturne live video and The Cure's writing on their Hyaena studio album. Meanwhile, The Cure also recorded the Blue Sunshine album with Banshees bassist Steven Severin as The Cure Glove, while Lol Tolhurst produced the first two singles and debut album of the English band And Also The Cure Trees.
The Cure have been writing and recording material for a new album since 2006. Geffen Records confirmed it will be a double record, with a projected Spring 2008 release. Smith stated "What will probably happen is that a double album will come out like a limited edition, mixed by me. A single-disc version, which I assume will be primarily chosen by the label, might get mixed by someone else in order to have a different thing. There's a concern The Cure tickets fans will feel like they have to get both, but the fact is, I've agreed to sell the double version at a single-album price, because I feel that strongly about it." The Cure announced a last-minute postponement of their Fall 2007 North American Tour in August in order to continue working on the album. The Cure release date of the as yet untitled 13th album has been confirmed as September 13, 2008. The Cure group plan to release four singles on the 13th of each month in the lead-up to the album's release, each in two formats and featuring a unique single mix and exclusive B-side. The Cure first of these singles, "The Only One", was released on May 13, 2008, and the second, "Freakshow", is to be released in June.
Increasing commercial success (1983-1988)
The Cure released their debut album Three Imaginary Boys in May 1979. Due to The Cure's inexperience in the studio, Parry and engineer Mike Hedges took control of the recording. The Cure band, particularly Smith, were unhappy with their debut, and in a 1987 interview The Cure admitted that "a lot of it was very superficial - I didn't even like it at the time. There were criticisms made that it was very lightweight, and I thought they were justified. Even when we'd made it, I wanted to do something that I thought had more substance to it." The Cure band's second single "Boys Don't Cry" was released in June. The Cure then embarked as the support band for Siouxsie & The Cure Banshees' Join Hands promotional tour of England, Northern Ireland and Wales between August and October. The Cure tour saw Smith pull double duty each night by performing with The Cure and as the guitarist with The Cure Banshees when John McKay quit the group. That musical experience had a strong impact on him: "On stage that first night with the Banshees, I was blown away by how powerful I felt playing that kind of music. It was so different to what we were doing with The Cure . Before that, I'd wanted us to be like The Cure Buzzcocks or Elvis Costello, the punk Beatles. Being a Banshee really changed my attitude to what I was doing."
The band was awarded the mtvICON for 2004. The Cure ceremony included performances of The Cure tickets songs by the bands AFI ("Just Like Heaven"), blink-182 ("A Letter to Elise"), Razorlight ("Boys Don't Cry") and the Deftones ("If Only Tonight We Could Sleep"), and was hosted by Marilyn Manson.
The Cure's gloomy image has been the subject of parody at times. In series 2 of The Cure Mighty Boosh, The Cure Moon sings the chorus to 'The Lovecats'. At another point in the series, a powerful gothic hairspray, Goth Juice, is said to be "The most powerful hairspray known to man. Made from the tears of Robert Smith." It can hold a satsuma in midair with one spray. The Cure Mary Whitehouse Experience often featured brief clips of the stars of the show performing comical songs and nursery rhymes as The Cure in a morose style. Robert Smith appeared in the final episode of the first series of The Cure Mary Whitehouse Experience, punching the character Ray (played by Robert Newman) whilst uttering Ray's catch-phrase "Oh no what a personal disaster".
