#DURAN DURAN NEW SONG FULL#

We came up with the chant вЂmore joyвЂ™ early on, and that became the key to the rest of the track.вЂќ It reminded me of one of those retro Japanese video games, which I always found quite uplifting. вЂњIt was such an unusual piece we werenвЂ™t quite sure if it would fit in at first. вЂњThe song вЂMore JoyвЂ™ was born out of a crazy jam with Duran Duran, Graham Coxon, and Erol Alkan,вЂќ keyboardist Nick Rhodes said in a statement. вЂњMore JoyвЂќ also features a contribution from Blur guitarist Graham Coxon.

The song will appear on the bandвЂ™s upcoming 15th studio album Future Past, out October 22nd via Tape Modern for EMG. One can safely assume that time will be kind to this accomplished effort and that its spark will continue to burn long after today has receded from view.Duran Duran has released a new single, вЂњMore Joy,вЂќ featuring a guest appearance from Japanese rock band CHAI. And just like any of those previous affairs, FUTURE PAST is the right Duran Duran record for this moment. Taken in total, FUTURE PAST comfortably sits next to any of its fourteen predecessors regarding its superlative sense of pop experimentation. However, Le Bon is also interested in how people connect with situations bigger than us as evinced on вЂњNOTHING LESSвЂќ and вЂњLAUGHING BOY.вЂќ FUTURE PAST is well stocked with these lush, strange pieces where he explores unrestrained desire (вЂњWINGвЂќ) and the dangers of modern living (вЂњBEAUTIFUL LIESвЂќ) unflinchingly. His predilection for compelling, if occasionally abstract scripts hasnвЂ™t left him. This makes sense given that, as a vocalist, he must have an affinity for what he sings. The tradition of Duran Duran splitting writing duties amongst themselves (and whomever theyвЂ™re collaborating with) is upheld on FUTURE PAST, but itвЂ™s Le Bon who continues to determine the thematic pulse for the bandвЂ™s lyrics. He takes flight to soar beautifully on the chorus of вЂњANNIVERSARY,вЂќ he seductively beckons via вЂњHAMMERHEADвЂќ (with hip-hop chanteuse Ivorian Doll) before segueing into вЂњINVOCATION.вЂќ Once ensconced in said selection, he simply revels in that unmistakable, mesmeric tone. Then there is Le Bon-the ultimate stylist with technical chops his voice is an undiminished treasure.

Duran Duran may utilize a few familiar tricks in their arsenal on this long player, but only in the freshest fashion.

But FUTURE PAST is anything but a redux for these aesthetes. Only the shrewdest Duran Duran devotee will detect any overlapping compositional particulars repurposed from the groupвЂ™s anterior sets active on this album. From the angular synth excursion of вЂњINVISIBLE,вЂќ to the layered electronic soul of вЂњGIVE IT ALL UP,вЂќ right on up to the art-rock paradiso of вЂњVELVET NEWTON,вЂќ RhodesвЂ™ ear for detail remains infinite and unmatched. Their instrumentalist chemistry gives FUTURE PAST a synchronal blend of beat and groove, the perfect set-up for Rhodes, ever the mad genre scientist, to build atop that foundation with his own specificities.

Whether itвЂ™s a sprawling balladic cut like the title track or a clubby floorfiller Г la вЂњTONIGHT UNITEDвЂќ-every piece on FUTURE PAST is linked by an underlying rhythmic fluidity owed to both Taylors playing at full tilt. Numbering fifteen cuts in its deluxe configuration and twelve tracks in its standard iteration, Simon Le Bon (vocals), Nick Rhodes (keyboards, programming, synthesizers), John Taylor (bass guitar) and Roger Taylor (drums/percussion) are in keen form throughout FUTURE PAST as musicians, producers and songwriters. As such, the title of their fifteenth studio outing FUTURE PAST-dually hosted on their own Tape Modern imprint and BMG Records-couldnвЂ™t be more apt.Д®rol Alkan, Giorgio Moroder, Graham Coxon (of Blur renown), Mark Ronson, Joshua Blair-theyвЂ™re some of the co-writing/co-production tunesmiths recruited by the foursome to task over this collection, which is to say nothing of the eclectic features asked along too: Tove Lo, Ivorian Doll, Chai, Mike Garson.ДЄll of these assembled guests bring their unique gifts to bear throughout FUTURE PAST, but it is done in service to Duran DuranвЂ™s overall vision for the project: to craft an immersive album that will flourish now but endure later. For those who once tried to shunt the quartet into one part of popular music lore, theyвЂ™re finally catching on to what their adoring public have known for decades: Duran Duran are vital, timely and relevant. Now, forty years removed from the New Romantic epoch that spawned them, Duran Duran are still here.
