FYM FIRST IMPRESSIONS: DURAN DURAN-NEW ALBUM 'ALL YOU NEED IS NOW'

The Wild Boys of New Wave (Duran Duran) deliver their best attributes on All You Need Is Now (13th album). With the help of Producer Mark Ronson, Duran Duran return to a stylish, drugs at the disco, nostalgic pop zenith.



Well chosen guest spots make All You Need Is Now flourish. Tunes like 'Safe' featuring Miss Ana Matronic (Scissor Sisters) produce a glitter filled sonic journey leaving us hungry for more.

Simon Le Bon continues to deliver peerless well crafted lead vocal duties. On 'The Man Who Stole A Leopard' Duran Duran build cinematic (James Bond like) drama, featuring haunting guest vocals from Kelis, and a mysterious news reporter outro. Check out FYM's Jam of the Day 'The Man Who Stole A Leopard' by Duran Duran below.

  
It's nice to see true 80's pop veterans, Duran Duran, are still able to produce thoughtful contemporary pop records, while continuing to harness their classic sound. Check out Duran Duran's website for tour dates, and sweet vintage merchandise!

Cheers,

FYM
