Roland Orzabal The Reset by Sam Delaney
-
- Mental Health
Roland Orzabal became one of the biggest selling pop stars of the eighties with Tears For Fears. In songs like Pale Shelter, Mad World and Shout he wrapped deeply sensitive, introspective lyrics in the sound of lush synth pop. He and his band mate Curt Smith were talking about mental health long before it was fashionable. Now they are back with the stunning Tipping Point - an album that, among other things, reflects on the death of Roland’s wife in 2017 and his subsequent struggles with booze and drugs. He joined me to discuss this and so much more in what was a powerfully honest chat.
