From Dazed:
The Cure
Rodrigo has repeatedly paid homage to English post-punk pioneers The Cure over the years, which has only amped up in recent months: “drop dead”, the lead single from her forthcoming, references “Just Like Heaven” in its lyrics (as well as having an eighties synth-pop vibe), and its followup is literally titled “the cure”. While Rodrigo said that the title was just a “happy coincidence”, she still cites The Cure as a key influence on the maturity that underpins her new project in today’s cover story. Rodrigo also performed alongside Robert Smith during her Glastonbury headline set last year, and has said that the pair “talk every week”. Could there be a collab on the cards...?
