Jared Leto wants to work with Robert

From Gigwise: "Asked by the magazine (Rolling Stone) who he'd most like to work with, Leto answered: "I'd love to do something with Eminem. That would be pretty mind-blowing." He also said that he would love to collaborate with Bjork, The Cure's Robert Smith and Sigur Ros." (Thanks @john_malloy)

  3. Just because Jared wants to work with Robert, doesn't mean Robert wants to, or will, work with him. Nothing to "worry" about...yet. : )

  5. Well, Jared did the best remix of the last batch of Cure singles.
    They were both singing on it.


    BTW, I seize the opportunity to spot a naughty Curespotting:

    I'm pretty sure that Earl Slick & R.Smith's song "Believe",
    is inspired by french song "Saudade" of Etienne Daho.
    The harmony's just the same:
    - Same chord progression with a quite particular modulation (let's say mixolydian/dorian)
    - Even Robert sings more or less the same as the original piano riff that was driving that modulation.

    The original is really a little gem of a song and while I was strumming those chords I just kept hearing Earl Slick's guitar licks in the back and that's how I found out. Very funny.

    So now I actually understand a bit better why they thought of releasing "Believe" as a single (because "Saudade" was a very successful one)
    and maybe why later they tried to make it work better by doing another version with the Canadian girl adding french lyrics to it.
