Roland Orzabal


perhaps the most underrated male vocalist of all-time, roland orzabal is one of the two founding members of the stupendous “new wave/pop-rock” band tears for fears, along with curt smith. tears for fears made such hits as “mad world,” “shout,” “everybody wants to rule the world,” and “sowing the seeds of love,” as any 80’s music fan knows.

what people may not know is that mr. orzabal continued to kick -ss as tears for fears after curt smith’s departure in 1991, with the alb-ms “elemental” (1993), “raoul and the kings of spain” (1995), and the b-side collection alb-m “saturnine, martial & lunatic” (1996), all of which feature orzabal’s stupendous vocal range and criminally underrated guitar-playing.

mr. orzabal followed these up with a bad-ss electronic alb-m, “tomcats screaming outside” (2001), before reuniting with curt smith, and releasing yet another masterpiece “everybody loves a happy ending” (2004) as tears for fears, with orzabal’s signature wide-range vocals throughout.
