Cure to release 4 singles before album?

This comes from e-bay, so take that into consideration, but it sounds right:

"Their brand new studio album will be released worldwide on 13th September, with 4 consecutive, different single releases preceding the album on the 13th of each month: 13th May, 13th June, 13th July and 13th August. 'The Only One' is the first of this series, and as per the other formats, will be available on Limited CD & 7” Vinyl (with collectors boxes for both), as well as digital download. Each will have a brand new, non-album b-side."

'The Only One' is the song formerly known as 'Please Project'. So what do you think about this plan?
(Thanks Steve)

  6. I have mixed feelings, how can I bitch now? Don't worry, I'll find a way. Why change the title? I like "Please Project" better. See, V, I'm back, baby!

  9. I'm getting rather giddy about all this. Please Project AKA The Only One sounds fabulous in the MTV Gold version. Previously I was not impressed, but they've tweaked it a bit and it's got a more Wish-era feel to it. Keep in mind that Wish ain't my fave Cure album, but I do like some of the pop tunes on it quite a bit. Anyscrew, this marketing strategy sounds interesting. Dunno if it'll work or backfire, but whatever; I'm just happy to get new Cure!

  10. Brilliant marketing ... shows Robert is not neglecting the 'store' or the fans.

    AND I really liked "Please Project" right from the first time I heard it on a Youtube clip. IMO it s a very catchy tune.

    Hopefully a live CD from a N. American gig will be released too.

  12. 33 completed tracks, minus 4 singles, and 4 bsides, leaves 25 tracks on a double album, or 12 per disc. sounds good to me! it will be less of a sprawling mess this way, without keeping songs in the vaults.

  15. One05 - The 4 a-sides would be from the album. The 4 b-sides would be non-album. So add 4 more tracks to the album.
