The Tipping Point was the seventh studio album by Tears for Fears, released in 2022. It was the first new material from Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith since 2004. The record was shaped in part by the death of Orzabal's wife Caroline in 2017 and dealt with themes of grief, loss and recovery. Singles including The Tipping Point, No Small Thing and Break the Man anchored the album. The Tipping Point reached the top 10 in both the United Kingdom and the United States, its highest chart positions in decades.
