    About this album

    Japanese Whispers distils The Cure’s late-1982 to late-1983 singles into a pivotal transition point in the band’s development. Built around “Let’s Go to Bed”, “The Walk” and “The Lovecats”, the compilation shows Robert Smith steering The Cure away from austere post-punk towards lighter, more melodic and openly pop-minded writing. Its stripped-back arrangements, keyboard-led hooks and dry wit helped broaden the band’s audience while preserving their unmistakable identity. Often viewed as an important snapshot of The Cure’s early-80s reinvention, it links the darker catalogue to the more expansive success that followed.
