British rock band The Cure has announced the upcoming release of Mixes Of A Lost World, a remix project featuring reimagined versions of their most recent album Songs of a Lost World. The remix collection, set to drop in June, brings together a diverse lineup of artists and serves a charitable purpose.

On April 21, fans of The Cure received an unexpected surprise. While the date coincided with frontman Robert Smith’s birthday, it was the fans who got the gift. Following a cryptic social media post from the band that showed the back of an iPod engraved with “CURE MOALW,” speculation grew within the fanbase. Now it’s official: the band is releasing a remix album inspired by their latest studio work.

Released last November, Songs of a Lost World marked The Cure’s long-awaited return to the music scene, their first album in 16 years since 4:13 Dream. The critically acclaimed record, their 14th studio release, has been praised for its emotional depth and strong production—qualities that made the lengthy wait worthwhile for devoted fans.

Three Remixes for Every Song

Mixes Of A Lost World will feature 24 tracks in total, offering three remixes for each of the eight songs originally found on Songs of a Lost World. The remix contributors include a variety of notable names, from Scottish post-rock band Mogwai to Chino Moreno of Deftones fame, and renowned British DJ Paul Oakenfold. Each artist brings a unique sound and interpretation, offering fans a fresh perspective on the original compositions.

The album will be available across multiple formats, including vinyl, CD, and cassette tape. Proceeds from the release will go toward supporting War Child, a humanitarian organization that helps children affected by conflict around the world.

While fans may still have to wait for a brand-new album—something Robert Smith hinted at in the fall of last year, even before the release of Songs of a Lost World—this remix project offers both a musical celebration and an opportunity to contribute to a meaningful cause.

With this release, The Cure not only revisits their recent success but also reinforces their commitment to using music as a force for good.
