Tears For Fears Releases New Song 'Astronaut'

Tears for Fears have released a new song titled 'Astronaut,' which is part of their upcoming live album, Songs For a Nervous Planet, set for release on October 25. The song, described by band member Curt Smith as capturing feelings of alienation and longing, originated during the sessions for their 2022 album, The Tipping Point. Alongside 'Astronaut,' the album will feature new tracks and live versions of classic hits like 'Head Over Heels.' The band is also releasing a concert film, Tears For Fears Live (A Tipping Point Film), showcasing their performance from the Tipping Point Tour in Franklin, Tennessee, which will be in theaters from October 24-26. Additionally, the album cover faced backlash for its AI-generated art, though the band clarified that AI was just one tool used in its creation. Despite this controversy, fans can enjoy the new music and the upcoming concert film.
