It’s part of the core business of rock stars to write lyrics that their listeners can relate to wholeheartedly. Which is much easier when, as a twenty-something, you pack love happiness and sorrow for teenagers into refrains. Roland Orzabal and Curtis Smith of Tears for Fears are already sixty and most of their regular audience is of an age when emotions may have calmed down a bit, but life by no means did. So adult pop, a whole album full. “Tipping Point” was released Friday, the first Tears for Fears album in 18 years, and almost thirty years after they last made the Top 40.
