Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me is the seventh studio album by British alternative rock band The Cure. Released in 1987, this album helped put The Cure into the American mainstream, becoming their first album to reach the Billboard Top 40 (achieving Platinum certification). It was also a big international success, reaching the Top 10 in numerous countries. Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me was more accessible and ambitious than any of The Cure's previous albums, and finds Robert Smith expanding his pop vocabulary by tentatively adding bigger guitars, the occasional horn section, lite-funk rhythms, and string sections. The 2013 Record Store Day release will be reactivated as 180 gram black vinyl.
