Raoul and the Kings of Spain

Raoul and the Kings of Spain is the fifth studio album by the English pop rock band Tears for Fears, released on 16 October 1995 by Epic Records. It is the second and final album made without the involvement of Curt Smith following Elemental (1993), with Roland Orzabal once again employing outside musicians.

Orzabal's primary musical collaborator for Raoul and the Kings of Spain was Alan Griffiths, who acted in the same role for Elemental, co-writing most of the album with Orzabal. Raoul and the Kings of Spain also retained producer Tim Palmer from Elemental. Raoul was a commercial disappointment for the band, becoming their lowest charting album in both the UK and US up to that point and receiving mixed reviews.
