Charitable Initiative
A portion of the proceeds from Mixes of a Lost World will benefit War Child UK. The Cure’s frontman, Robert Smith, shared his thoughts on the project:
“Just after Christmas, I was sent a couple of unsolicited remixes of Songs of a Lost World tracks and I really loved them. The Cure has a colorful history with all kinds of dance music, and I was curious as to how the whole album would sound entirely reinterpreted by others. This curiosity resulted in a fabulous trip through all eight songs by 24 wonderful artists and remixers and is way beyond anything I could have hoped for. Giving our recording royalties from the project to War Child helps make Mixes of a Lost World an even more special release.”
