This definitive compilation captures the eclectic brilliance of The Cure, showcasing their signature blend of alternative rock, post-punk, and new wave. Spanning their most iconic singles, Greatest Hits highlights the band's creative unpredictability—from the playful jazz-inflected "The Lovecats" to the atmospheric depth of "A Forest" and the euphoric pop sensibility of "Friday I'm in Love." Frontman Robert Smith describes these tracks as "songs that are sung with a smile," emphasizing the lighter, melodic moments that contrast with the band's darker early work. The album also features two new recordings from 2001, "Cut Here" and "Just Say Yes" (featuring Saffron from Republica), affirming The Cure's enduring relevance.
