Tears for Fears:

The Tipping Point

The long-awaited return

Editor Marvin Jackson - 25 / 02/22

Tears for Fears are back with there stunning new album "The Tipping Point. Band Members Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith talk about making music at the grand age of 60.

Roland Orzabal said “How can we bring our life experience good and bad to the table and make something that speaks to people. Our best work, and the work that’s lasted over the years is the stuff that resonates with people.”

The band initially penned a early version of the tipping point put decided to scrap it because they felt it wasn.t a Tears for Fears sound.

However years later the band restarted work on the album and were encouraged by their old manager to work with other songwriters including Dan Smith from Bastille and Sacha Skarbek, who wrote James Blunt’s You’re Beautiful and Miley Cyrus’s Wrecking Ball.

And while they were happy with some of these songs, it didn’t feel right for a Tears For Fears album.

Roland Orzabal adds: “Our then manager didn’t want to promote us any more in terms of being a credible recording artists.

"He wanted us just to be more like a nostalgia 80's band. One of the first times he’d seen us play live in Dallas, he saw that we were good and wanted us on the road.

“Straight away he saw the financial potential we could make from touring, but he didn’t instinctively trust us just to do our own thing and make a real Tears For Fears album.

We felt that our manager wanted us to sing our classic hits but having written classic pop songs including the smash hits Mad World, Shout, Everybody Wants To Rule The World and Sowing The Seeds Of Love, it seems absurd that we, were not encouraged to write a new album ourselves.

The band now has the same manager as Harry Styles, Orzabal and Smith are now looking forward to the future.

The new album is some what of new chapter in there music career. "The Tipping Point is a beautiful and majestic album that will give the duo plenty of worldwide acclaim, fans will not be disappointed its a musical triumph.

The album is now available to buy from good Record retail outlets and can be downloaded from good streaming site.

Editor Katie Watkins 10-2-2022 Fleetwood Mac released Rumours forty-five years ago this month, an album that combined some what gauzy soft pop, manicured folk and stormy rock with a soap-operatic level of intra-band strife. Rumours won album of the year at the U.S. Grammys, achieved 20 times platinum status in the US alone.
