The Cure – Never Enough

Released on September 17, 1990, Never Enough is a key transitionary single that showcased a shift toward a more aggressive, guitar-driven sound for the British gothic rock band The Cure. Coming off the massive success of their album Disintegration, lead vocalist and guitarist Robert Smith collaborated with longtime producer Mark Saunders to create a track that famously incorporated a "wah-wah" guitar style, departing from the synth-heavy atmosphere of their previous work. The title track served as a bridge into the group's remix-heavy era, eventually appearing on the Mixed Up album. Recorded at Olympic Studios in London, the project features the signature rhythmic interplay of bassist Simon Gallup and drummer Boris Williams. This release includes the Big Mix of the lead single and the Milk Mix of the fan favorite Let's Go To Bed, alongside the upbeat B-side Harold & Joe. Exploring themes of insatiable desire and sonic evolution, this single highlights the band's ability to constantly reinvent their post-punk aesthetic while maintaining their cult-status appeal.
