Glosslip Co-Hosts Interview With Curt Smith Of Tears For Fears
Addict by Curt Smith from Halfway, Pleased
Eric Olsen, that super handsome guy who runs Blogcritics.org, will be on Glosslip’s segment of Shaun Daily’s BTR Today show interviewing Curt Smith, co-founder of super-group Tears For Fears, whose hits are too numerous to list (oh well here’s some anyway, “Everybody Wants To Rule The World,” “Shout,” “Mad World,” “Woman In Chains” “Head Over Heels,” “Pale Shelter,” “Change,” “Sowing The Seeds of Love” and so on.)
Here’s Curt’s official webpage. The cd will be officially released May 20th. You can buy it right here on Glosslip, check the sidebar. Five Stars, it’s wonderful.
TFF have sold over 22 million records worldwide and are considered one of the most popular bands to emerge from the 80’s. To this day, their songs are frequently heard in mainstream culture and to be fair, they are as tremendously popular today as when they first emerged in 1981.

Curt and TFF partner, Roland Orzabal were to many the next McCartney and Lennon, crafting beautiful melodies with insightful lyrics, together they released 4 albums, The Hurting, Songs From The Big Chair, The Seeds Of Love and their reunion album in 2004, Everybody Loves a Happy Ending.
Curt has released a new solo album, Halfway, Pleased, which we listened to last night. Halfway, Pleased is a much more ambient, atmospheric sound than the big melodies of TFF, though it still features Curt’s beautiful lilting and crisp voice, the sound is much more reminiscent of French duo Air than TFF. I highly recommend this album.
And sense we know I am an 80’s fanatic, here’s one of my very favorite TFF songs:
