Duran Duran Are Being Followed

by Chris November 23, 2010

The countdown to the release of Duran Duran’s 13th studio album, ALL YOU NEED IS NOW, has begun! The band’s first single: the title track “All You Need is Now,” will be unveiled on iTunes around the world on Tuesday, December 14th, with the full album, being offered exclusively by iTunes on Tuesday, December 21st. European iTunes will also carry an exclusive EP called “From Mediterreanea with Love” with a special selection of tracks over the holiday period.

ALL YOU NEED IS NOW is the missing piece of the Duran Duran jigsaw – a record that their producer, Mark Ronson (Amy Winehouse), boldly proclaimed would become “the imaginary follow-up to Rio that never was”. With nine incredible NEW tracks written and recorded in London, mixed by Spike Stent (Madonna, No Doubt, Bjork), ALL YOU NEED IS NOW is already much anticipated and hotly tipped as this year’s must-have holiday gift.

A 12-track physical package will be available for purchase on CD and vinyl with special deluxe options in February, 2011.

As a special Thanksgiving treat, the band shared a sample of the track “Being Followed” on their site – perhaps the most vintage sounding Duran since 1984, Check out the sample HERE.
