Tears for Fears, the duo of Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith, are back. Today, they announced their first album in 17 years. The Tipping Point<\/em> is out February 25 via Concord. Check out the video for the title track, directed by Matt Mahurin, below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The album had originally been set for a 2017 release<\/a>; the duo discussed the delay in a statement with the album announcement. \u201cBefore everything went so right with this album, everything first had to go wrong. It took years, but something happens when we put our heads together,\u201d Orzabal said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tears for Fears worked with \u201csome of today\u2019s hit songwriters,\u201d but ultimately disagreed with their former management about that direction. \u201cEventually, that pressure and tension divided us not just from our management, but from one another too,\u201d Orzabal said, noting that they returned to work on the album as a duo with the support of new management. \u201cSuddenly, for the first time in a long time, we felt like we had someone in our corner who understood what we were trying to do. We felt like we had somebody on our side. It was the first time in a long time that we decided\u2014we have to do this.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The album was created with Tears for Fears\u2019 longtime collaborator Charlton Pettus, plus producers and songwriters Sacha Skarbek and Florian Reutter. Their last album was 2004\u2019s Everybody Loves a Happy Ending<\/em>. Last year, the group shared a new song called \u201cI Love You But I\u2019m Lost<\/a>,\u201d which appeared on their greatest hits compilation Rule the World<\/em>. They were also on a co-headlining tour<\/a> with Hall and Oates, but had to momentarily postpone<\/a> due to a family emergency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
