intro
Fine fourth single from the Cure's forthcoming new album, which finds them looking back to 1992's 'Wish'album
‘The Perfect Boy’ is the fourth single from the Cure’s still untitled forthcoming new album, which is due for release on October 13th. Nodding heavily back to their ‘Wish’ album of 1992, it finds the Cure at their poppiest. It is warm in sound and, if you love the band as much I do, it is guaranteed to puts a massive smile on your face. ‘Without You’ is another new song and sounds as well like a track that could have been on ‘Wish’. It is again warm and charming.

1 The Perfect Boy (Mix 13)2 Without You
