Tears for Fears have returned for their first album in 17 years. The duo unveil the first single and tell us about the long — and sometimes tragic — road to get to 'The Tipping Point'
“The line in the song says, ‘Will you ever know when it’s the Tipping Point?’ meaning, will you ever know when a person has crossed that threshold from life to death when you cannot even perceive that ‘vague and distant void’ as it’s described in the lyric. I have to admit that even in March 2016 when I was read the riot act by doctors about Caroline possibly not making it through the weekend, I was still in denial.
Tears for Fears hadn’t intended to take such a long break between albums; “I would say life and geography got in the way,” Smith tells, adding that while the band still toured frequently, they didn’t want to be “helicopter parents” to their then-young children. When it finally came time to make a new album a few years ago, as the duo notes, they were encouraged by previous management to work with an army of “today’s hitmakers,” each of whom tried to”recreate a Tears for Fears classic.
