Formed in the late 70s, The Cure are undoubtedly the standard bearers of gothic rock par excellence, with a series of albums and a career full of psychedelic, dark rock, pop and a peculiar and unique image.
With their sixth album The Cure they had commercial success and achieved their most eclectic album as well as the most accessible of their career.
"The Head On The Door" was the worldwide recognition of The Cure, where several of his songs are broadcast ad nauseam; "In Between Days" and "Close To Me", which share an album with other jewels such as the exotic "The Blood" or the gothic "Push" and "Six Different Ways" or the epic "Night Like This".
"Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me" is the seventh album by the British band The Cure, the second of their transitional period, moving away from their earlier gothic and dark style towards a more accessible and eclectic musical evolution. The success of their previous album, "The Head on the Door", reinforced the direction taken by frontman Robert Smith, who was developing a more energetic and carefree sound, a development that would become the catalyst for their massive recognition and subsequent tremendous success. Mixing different styles, from the psychedelic sounds of the bellicose "The Kiss" and "Shiver and Shake", to the somber "If Only Tonight We Could Sleep" and "Catch", and the upbeat "Just Like Heaven" and "Hot Hot Hot!", allowed them to continue their rise in popularity and commercial success, while also becoming one of their most widely discussed albums.
