Once the rulers of the ’80s, Duran Duran is back with a spine-tingling bang! This time, they’re ushering in a haunting vibe with their latest hit, “Danse Macabre.” Dipped in enigmatic undertones, this track promises to become the anthem of the season.
If you’ve been watching the music space, you’d remember the teasing hints dropped earlier this month about “Danse Macabre.” For those not in the know, this eerily entrancing title (which is fancy for ‘Dance of Death’) sets the tone for the Rock and Roll Hall of Famers’ 16th studio album. Fans, mark your calendars for an October 27th drop via the avant-garde Tape Modern/BMG.
But wait, the blast from the past doesn’t stop with Duran Duran’s signature sound. The album sees a reunion with familiar faces, such as guitar maestros Andy Taylor and Warren Cuccurullo, the innovative Mr. Hudson from the “Paper Gods” days, the genius producer Nile Rodgers, and the fiery Måneskin’s Victoria De Angelis.
Revealed in March, “Danse Macabre” isn’t just an album; it’s a Halloween musical extravaganza, inspired by a live performance that rocked Las Vegas on October 31, 2022. Imagine stepping into Duran Duran’s ultimate Halloween bash, with songs that make your heart race – that’s this album for you! Not only does it feature three brand-new compositions, but it also breathes life into classics with a new twist, and even serves up iconic covers from legends like Billie Eilish, Talking Heads, The Rolling Stones, and the enchanting Siouxsie And The Banshees.
With a total of 13 tracks, the album is a voyage where Duran Duran masterfully plucks radiant melodies from shadowy corners. They seamlessly blend new tunes, thematic covers, and revamped versions of their eeriest classics, as per their official note.
