Tears For Fears have released a visual for their new single Long, Long, Long Time.

Lifted from the duo’s latest long-player ‘The Tipping Point’, the track is about the frustrations Curt Smith and Roland Orzabal encountered while creating the record.

Of the challenges, Curt told Retro Pop: “We got to the point a few years ago where I certainly wasn’t happy with what we were doing.

“Myself and Roland sat down and I said, ‘Look, if this is what you want to do, then you go ahead and do it, but it’s not for me.’ That ended and we didn’t know what we were going to do. It was sort of up in the air.”

He continued: “Roland said, ‘Look, let’s sit down and talk about this. What do you feel?’ And I said, ‘I think we have some good songs. But I just think that the recordings really aren’t right. They don’t sound like Tears for Fears – they sound like us trying to be someone else’.

“I think he’d come to the same realisation, having taken time away from it… So we sat down and plotted a path forward of how we could finish an album that we were both happy with.”

In a review of the album, Retro Pop said ‘The Tipping Point’ “feeds into the history of the band, which celebrates its 40th anniversary this year, referencing the pair’s journey to create the record along with key musical moments from their storied career.”

The Tipping Point’ is available now.
