More praise for Olivia from Robert
From The Hollywood Reporter:
"Olivia’s desire to be recognized as a songwriter is very refreshing; it’s unmodern in a way,” says The Cure’s Robert Smith, the first artist to ever feature on one of Rodrigo’s albums, lending his vocals on the You Seem Pretty Sad standout, “What’s Wrong With Me.” Rodrigo calls that song the best on the album.
“It’s not effortless — she spends an awful lot of time getting things right with her music,” Smith says. “But she also gets it right so quickly. It’s bizarre at times. She was in London with me a while back. She played me something she wrote that morning, things that could take 14 years for many writers to get out, and she does it in a morning.”

Just Like Heaven certified double platinum
From BRIT Awards:
‘Just Like Heaven’, the single by The Cure , is now #BRITcertified 2x Platinum.
Johnny Marr talks a bit about The Cure
From NME:
Songs like ‘Fire With Fire’ have a goth-y The Cure vibe to them, and there’s a touch of Depeche Mode to ‘All In A Life’…
“That’s right. There were a couple of Cure-y moments on ‘Fever Dreams’ too, like ‘Aerial’.”
You’ve done the work to erase the imagined division between Smiths fans and Cure fans…
“Oh yeah! Apparently that’s a thing. When The Cure came out, I thought of Robert Smith as a guitar player. He’s a frontman, but what he was doing on ‘Seventeen Seconds’ was really very much on his own and really on point. That was a few years before I came out. I saw them a couple of times when I was 16 or 17 and really liked them.
