Which Cure album, released in 1989, includes the songs “Lovesong” and “Pictures of You”?

The Cure album released in 1989 that includes “Lovesong” and “Pictures of You” is Disintegration.

The English band released the album on May 2, 1989. It marked a return to the darker, atmospheric style associated with some of The Cure’s earlier work, while also producing several of their most accessible songs.

Robert Smith wrote “Lovesong” as a wedding present for Mary Poole; the song became The Cure’s highest-charting US single. “Pictures of You” grew from lyrics and ideas connected with a fire at Smith’s house, though later retellings sometimes simplify that story.

Disintegration became The Cure’s best-selling album in the United States and is widely regarded as one of their essential records. It should not be confused with Pornography, the band’s darker 1982 album.
