Tears For Fears Announce First Album in 17 Years
Photo by Frank OckenfelsIf we need any further proof that the world is going back to normal, ‘80s legends Tears for Fears have returned to announce their newest album The Tipping Point, out Feb. 25 via Concord Records. The album will be the duo’s first since 2004’s Everybody Loves a Happy Ending and will feature longtime collaborator Charlton Pettus along with producers and songwriters Sacha Skarbek and Florian Reutter.
The title track, which premiered on BBC Radio 2, features the bone-chilling harmonies from Orzabal and Curt Smith, building from pianos into a trip-hop influenced anthem with acoustic guitars that explode into synths and powerful drums.
“Before everything went so right with this album, everything first had to go wrong, it took years, but something happens when we put our heads together,” said Roland Orzabal. “We’ve got this balance, this push-me-pull-you thing – and it works really well.”
