Cured is the fifth solo album from Genesis guitarist Steve Hackett.

Only Hackett's brother, John, and keyboardist Nick Magnus remained from that band.

That led him after the Defector tour to be exhausted, and recuperated in Brazil where he spent three months working on new songs.

The album is much more pop-oriented than Hackett's previous work, although there are distinct elements of progressive rock.

It was also the first album on which Hackett played bass guitar, something he would not do again until 2019's At the Edge of Light.
