Robert Smith will join Tim Burgess for a special run-through of The Cure‘s acclaimed ‘Songs Of A Lost World‘ on an upcoming edition of Tims Listening Party, NME can exclusively reveal.
Becoming a favourite among music fans on social media during lockdown as Tim’s Twitter Listening Parties, the format of The Charlatans frontman talking through new and classic albums with the artists behind them found a new home as a podcast and show on Absolute Radio last year.
Now, it has been confirmed that Smith has recorded a special version of the show that will be broadcast from 10pm this weekend on Sunday December 8 on Absolute Radio before becoming available on the Rayo app shortly after and being made into a podcast early in the new year.
“I’m looking forward very much to my second Listening Party,” Smith told NME, “running through ‘Songs Of A Lost World’ with Tim – this time together in a ‘real life space’ – should be good?”
This comes after Smith hosted a run-through of Tim’s Twitter Listening Party for their classic album ‘Wish’ back in November 2022, done from the dressing room after The Cure played the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam. It became the third most replayed Listening Party with over 40,000 so far (with Iron Maiden occupying the top two places). Revisit the ‘Wish’ playback here.
Since Burgess took it to Absolute Radio, The Listening Party has won Gold as best newcomer at The Arias, The Radio Academy earlier this year. The show has featured the likes of U2, Texas, The Kinks, Fall Out Boy, The Libertines and more.
