Most of you know I’ve been a big Tears For Fears fan since the very beginning. 1985’s “Songs From The Big Chair” cemented my fan status, as I played that album so often, I wore out a cassette.
I follow Curt Smith on Twitter and recently, he and the Tears For Fears Twitter account [which he tweets from as well] announced a new song by the pop duo.

I really like this cover a lot. A nice re-imagination of the song, done with some modern flair and beats.
Can’t wait to hear more. The new album should be out by the end of the year.

Did you see the remastered 30th Anniversary edition of The Hurting will be coming out? I think I’m going to get that. It’s my favorite TFF album and played the vinyl version to death in my bedroom as a teenager.
Yes, I had seen that announcement from Curt as well about the 30th anniversary edition of “The Hurting” It’s on my Amazon wish list, which I might just have to convert to a pre-order here very soon.
