History
Leer másNo music video was filmed to promote the single, believed to be because Robert Smith felt the last video for a single release exclusively in the US, "Fascination Street", was not what the band were aiming for.[citation needed] Because of that "Strange Attraction" remains the only The Cure single (not counting original mix of "Boys Don`t Cry") without a music video.
Reception
Chris Gerard of Metro Weekly dismissed the song as "one of the band’s weaker attempts at a pop hit",[2]
