Tears For Fears - No Small Thing

The English pop rock band TEARS FOR FEARS are back and have released the band’s first new album in 17 years, "The Tipping Point". I do not want to say that I am a pop string, but I must say that this sounds very good so I have to share the video for "No Small Thing", the second single and opening track off the new album

As TEARS FOR FEARS previously told Rolling Stone, after years of false starts and failed collaborations when recording their new album, “No Small Thing” marked a breakthrough for the band, as Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith sat down in a room together to write music for the first time since their teen years.

“In early 2020, Curt and I sat down together with just a couple of acoustic guitars. The first time in decades. We needed a meeting of minds, a coming together psychically. We were literally going back to the drawing board looking for some depth, heart and soul with which to complete our album. Curt came up with this simple folk/country riff, a little bit Dylan, a little bit Johnny Cash, and then we were off. It was the complete opposite of what we had been trying to do for many years – searching for the elusive, modern hit single. We felt suddenly unencumbered, free if you like, no longer worrying about the market, about success, but drawing on influences from our childhoods. It was at this point that the whole album started opening up. ‘No Small Thing’ was the key, the thing that turned a red light green,” - Roland Orzabal

"No Small Thing" feels like it could have been a song from a seventies or sixties acoustic folk album with how the track starts. The fact that we felt confident enough to go from there to the end of the song to where it’s just absolute mayhem speaks to that sense of freedom, and that’s our comfort zone musically.” - Curt Smith

Today tune "No Small Thing", taken from the new album "The Tipping Point", enjoy!

Tears For Fears - The Tipping Point

Some 40 years into one of music’s most impactful partnerships, TEARS FOR FEARS have arrived together at "The Tipping Point" – the group’s ambitious, accomplished & surprising first new studio album in nearly 2 decades.

TEARS FOR FEARS are an English pop rock band formed in Bath, England, in 1981 by Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith. Founded after the dissolution of their first band, the mod-influenced GRADUATE, TEARS FOR FEARS were initially associated with the new wave synthesizer bands of the early 1980s. Later, the band branched out into more mainstream pop and attained international chart success. TEARS FOR FEARS were part of the MTV-driven Second British Invasion of the US.

"The Tipping Point" is an upcoming album by TEARS FOR FEARS, set to be released on 25 February 2022. It is the seventh studio album by the band.

Tracks on the album include "The Tipping Point", which was released with a music video in October 2021, see it below, as well as "My Demons", "Please Be Happy", and "Stay". "Stay" was previously released on the group's 2017 compilation "Rule The World: The Greatest Hits". Track lyrics were inspired by the death of Roland Orzabal’s wife in 2017.
