Goth Icon Shares New ‘Dramatic' Version of Hit Song
Goth Icon Shares New 'Dramatic' Version of Hit Song originally appeared on Parade.
Few are more synonymous with goth—be it music, fashion, or lifestyle—than Robert Smith of The Cure.
Since forming in the '70s, The Cure has pioneered the dark, brooding, romantic rock sound that defined goth music. The band released now-classic albums like Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me and Disintegration, while becoming part of the 1980s and '90s music tapestry with songs like "A Forest," "Just Like Heaven," "Close To Me," "Boys Don't Cry," and "Friday I'm In Love."
In 2024, The Cure pulled off the impossible: release a new album that's as good as one of its classics. Songs of a Lost World received widespread critical acclaim and was on many publications' "Best of 2024" year-end lists. Now, fans can revisit the album with the upcoming remix album, "Mixes of a Lost World."
The collection, arriving on June 13, features remixed versions of Songs of a Lost World courtesy of electronic artists such asFour Tet, Orbital, Trentemøller, Paul Oakenfold, and more. Deftones frontman Chino Moreno (who dabbles in goth/dark electronica with this Crosses project) will also have a remix on the album.
Electronic duo Daybreakers have transformed "Warsong" from a 4:17 track to a six-minute synth and bass extravaganza.
This new version "has a real sense of drama," Smith told Billboard. "The breakdowns are simple, but far-out, and the vibe is cool, but urgent. It is one of my favorites on the [remix] album."
Smith also told Billboard that 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."
"To be chosen to do a remix is a great honor," Daybreakers told the publication. "Being included on the remix album alongside such a great variety of talented artists and producers is a huge privilege."
"Additionally," they add, "with all of The Cure's recording royalties being donated to the WarChild UK charity, it really is for a wonderful cause."Goth Icon Shares New 'Dramatic' Version of Hit Song first appeared on Parade on Jun 11, 2025

Kylie Jenner's Daughter Hilariously Shades Her Mom's Past Fashion Choices in Sassy Video
Kylie Jenner's Daughter Hilariously Shades Her Mom's Past Fashion Choices in Sassy Video originally appeared on Parade. Tough crowd! Kylie Jenner shared a TikTok video showing her daughter a throwback photo of her wearing a blue wig in her "King Kylie" era, and Stormi Webster didn't hold back with her opinion on the bold look. Watch the sassy moment below! "Why are you so shocked?" Jenner asks a stunned Webster, who is staring at the phone with her mouth hanging open. "Did you dye your hair in that photo?" the spunky 7-year-old asks. When Jenner admits it wasn't real, saying "Mommy used to love wearing wigs," Webster threw some serious shade. "A blue wig with a red outfit?!" she asks, hands on her hips. "It's not a good combo!" A laughing Jenner admits it wasn't her best look, while Webster teases, "That's what she gets!" to the camera. The photo in question features Jenner out for a night of partying at The Nice Guy in Los Angeles in 2016. In it, she's wearing a red oversized t-shirt, thigh-high black boots, and, of course, a long, wavy teal wig with wispy bangs. However, it's far from the only time Jenner rocked the color combo that her daughter dubbed "bad." In 2014, she stepped out at the American Music Awards with teal hair and a long satin burgundy gown. The same year, she wore her long blue locks with a red apron while volunteering at the Los Angeles Mission for the Anne Douglas Center's Thanksgiving Meal For The Homeless. Fans quickly jumped to Jenner's defense for the look in the comments. "Stormi, only Mommy coulda pulled it off," said one fan, while another added, "I can't wait until she fully understands the cultural significance of the King Kylie era!" A third told Webster not to bite the hand that feeds her, adding, "She doesn't know King Kylie paid for that house."

Even though everyone has opinions on every inch of her life, love, and body, Jenner seems pretty adamant about ignoring the noise that comes with incessant attention. She told Dazed in May that she's so used to criticism from every direction that she's essentially phased it out at this point. "I honestly think I'm so used to it, and I just don't really care what people say," she explained. "Also, you know, other people's opinions of me have never affected my personal life, how my friends view me, how my kids view me, how my family views me, or the success of my business."Kylie Jenner's Cleavage-Baring Pink Latex Dress Might Make You Gasp first appeared on Parade on Jun 21, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jun 21, 2025, where it first appeared.

'80s Metal Band Legend Stuns Concert Goers with Totally 'Off-Brand' Message Mid-Show
'80s Metal Band Legend Stuns Concert Goers with Totally 'Off-Brand' Message Mid-Show originally appeared on Parade. Metal often gets a bad rap. The music is incredibly intense, and it's built on its often horror-inspired imagery. The music is loud, abrasive, and sometimes violent, with mosh pits being one of the most common ways fans enjoy concerts. Because of this, metal has a reputation as a negative, or evil genre. But that couldn't be farther from the truth. Despite their popularity, Metallica is not a band exempt from this reputation, as they have had plenty of heavy or scary themes throughout their music. At a recent show, Metallica lead singer James Hetfield took a moment during the concert to speak directly to the fans in attendance, and his words might be surprising to those not familiar with the people behind metal music. "We are grateful after 140-something years to still be here playing music for you guys, and you come here, and you show yourselves, and you sing along! We are so blessed, and we couldn't take it for granted." Fans were delighted by the kind words from the rock star, leaving their reactions in the comments. "It was a great show!! Loved it." "I loved the concert with James." "So sad I had to miss this, hope they do another tour in the next 4 years." It's nice to see the humanity of our favorite artists, and see that they appreciate the fans as much as we appreciate them.🎬SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox🎬 '80s Metal Band Legend Stuns Concert Goers with Totally 'Off-Brand' Message Mid-Show first appeared on Parade on Jun 6, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jun 6, 2025, where it first appeared.
