The Cure

"The Only One (Mix 13)" single

Interscope

Genre: pop/rock

July 8 2008

I have never been a big Cure fan, but there is no denying the energized, undeniably British hooks of "The Only One." Robert Smith's enthusiastic vocals mesh well with the jangling guitars, force-feeding the track's melody into your cognitive stores. The bubbling synth part tacked on top of the instrumental bit of the chorus is a suspect inclusion, but overall this is a memorable track that should appeal to fans and non-fans alike.
