Roland Orzabal is a brilliant composer, performer and producer, and also a great talk! Thank you all for this interview!
Can’t hear enough from Roland! Genius, best vocalist of his generation, songwriter-thank you for allowing him some time to elaborate. I would love to hear more from him. Can’t wait for the new album. Any chance of Elemental getting a reissue/deluxe remaster? His masterpiece. Such a deep interview and he sounded like he enjoyed it as well. Thank you Rockonteurs...
I have always said it, too. Elemental is indeed a masterpiece!
You know how much I love to listen this beautiful voice. What a beautiful voice man. I love every song that they made and make and some of them make me cry still today, specially Head Over Heels, The Working Hour and Memories Fade. Roland's voice can touch my soul deeply. Cheers dear Orzabal. Thank you for all your talent, you are the best one ever. I love you forever.
P.S. Greetings from Brazil.
I can just listen to this man talk forever. Have always admired and loved Roland :)
Brilliant artist and songwriter. One of the greatest.
Oh Roland, I could listen to you all day mate. Thank you for all of your work, it makes the unbearable, bearable. Looking forward to hearing the new work with Curt. You may never see this but thank you.
Finally! The mystery of who was the big female name suggested by the record company for Woman In ⛓ is revealed to be Whitney Houston. Thank you Roland for revealing this, so interesting.
Excellent interview with Roland... thank you! Giddy about the new album and great to hear Roland so relaxed with fellow artists...
Roland all the painful hurt in our lives can be traced in our lives as an impetus for growth and opportunity to witness in various means of expression or it can become our demise. To me true beauty is when it develops in to your individual expression that awakens others and prospers a sensitivity and wisdom to those who can receive and appreciate it. You have a beautiful heart and soul. You have been blessed with a multitude of talents and genius to bring forth a powerful expression to the benefit of all. Your music has been therapeutic to me as I struggle to move forward. Thank you for all you have done and accomplished. Sowing the Seeds of Love was actually prophetic for this time.
This episode is outstanding, I enjoy very much Roland and his beautiful voice!!! Went running to listen head over heels and well they don't have a bad song
Lovely interview. Pleasantly surprised to come across this podcast featuring Gary Kemp interviewing Roland Orzabal ! I would never have imagined that happening. Gary and Guy sound very enthusiastic. Roland is a a deep person and Tears for Fears is one of my favourite groups. Waiting (so long) for a new album. Happy Birthday, Roland!
Glad to hear Roland and Curt are getting on and have finished the album. I am so looking forward to hearing the new stuff!
Roland is a true genius.
Brilliant interview,great to find out some news on the new album
(I’ve shared the link to my tff Facebook group)
Thank you so very much for sharing there! I wouldn’t have known or been able to listen to this. Love the interview and absolutely love hearing Roland!
Thanks for listening and sharing!
He comes across as being a really nice man, great interview
ikr, it's almost like the cheeky blitz brats teasing their calm and kind-hearted uncle :D
I am not one for being able to stay and listen to an interview or anything really that’s an hour plus but I was so tuned in and focused on listening to this interview with Roland the time flew by as I listened to and thoroughly enjoyed hearing all he had to say.
Roland is a genius!
Really impressed even more how Roland is talented.. want to keep listening!
1985 I was 7 and my dad bought a CD player, along with that he bought Brothers in Arms, Songs from the Big Chair and a kinda soul mix album called Move Closer, it changed my world! I fell in love with music at that time! Great to hear Roland talk again it's been too long. Nice work guys!
Fantastic interview, learned lots about how they’ve operated over their career. Would love to hear a similar in depth interview with Martin L. Gore. Thanks
Can't wait to hear the new album and hope to see you live in the near future! TY Rockonteurs!
I really enjoyed this. I've loved Tears For Fears since I first heard Mad World in 82. I always thought that TFF were underrated, it's great to hear that the power behind Spandau really rates TFF. For what it's worth, Seeds Of Love is my favourite album of all time, yes it's over produced, yes there's not enough Curt on it, but it is an awesome album. And Mr Pessimist is my favourite track on Elemental.
Tears For Fears are my favourite band. I also love Spandau Ballet. Have seen both live. Whilst SB had more UK hits, TFF kicked their ass when it came to the US and International/Global markets.
Really great podcast - thank you all three of you! :-)
I'm soo happy I found this!
another fab interview thank you guys!
I love u Rolly!
Cracking!
great interview..once again i was never a fan but nice bloke....similar with mark king interview...keep it up...maybe Mani from the Roses next??
I spoke to Manu Katche about the Woman In Chains intro...he gave me a hard look and said " does that sound like Phil Collins to you?" . I don't think he had a rewarding experience especially when he had to go and buy his own copy of the album. He basically said he would never play for them again.
2024❤
whitney houston instead of oleta?! he has alluded to this in the past but never admitted before who the alternative singer that the record company proposed was, has he?
Here is a prime example of great musician and great human being. Suzi Quatro should learn from people like him. I guess too late.
You know what’s funny been like rats for a six mounts and how like tears for fears it’s was video because I saw bobs face a heard beginning of run the world I thought in my head it’s sound rule the world let you know I live in the U.S And I’m sixteen and that’s how I liked TFF
I love TFF and the hurting was the second album I ever bought, however I detest 'women in chains' it's awful.
Woman in Chains is definitely one of my least favorite songs. I agree with you there
It is one of their best and most underrated songs
@@joeremo9565 It is really good, I just prefer the more upbeat stuff :)
Alot of shouting going on.
Roland is a genius!
