Cut to some slightly Fripp-esque post-chorus guitar that evokes Bowie-in-Berlin. The best is yet to come though, as out of nowhere there’s a gloriously rich and catchy disco chorus, as the sound fattens up with piano chords and some underlying strings, and Simon sings “ I want everything, all of what you do / Every night, every day, I want all of you“. It’s sparse and funky and has real bounce as Simon delivers a very strong verse vocal melody.
John Taylor kicks things off with some funky solo bass before Roger comes in with the drums and Nick does the honours with a rather hypnotic and looping keyboard phrase. I can’t believe this incredible song wasn’t spotlighted as part of the album pre-order campaign. All Of You Composed by Duran Duran and Graham Coxon It’s a remarkably short song, clocking in at a little over three minutes, but it’s all about the strength of the Simon’s vocal melody, the decent lyrics and a certain grit that makes this work.Ģ. By the time we get to the “Or have I become Invisible” pay-off line, most of the heavy lifting has been done. The verses slide into that wonderful pre-chorus break section which leads into the chorus. However, the music does have a satisfying crunch to it and, best of all, feels seamless. Also, the band seem to have lost the knack for catchy intros, so ‘Invisible’ just slopes into the room in a rather lacklustre manner, with only the breathy female vocalists hissing ‘Invisible’ to keep things a little spicy. It should be grabbing you by the balls and shouting “get me Duran Duran”. The jury is out on ‘Invisible’, which is a certainly a pretty good Duran Duran song, but rather failed to deliver goods as a lead single. Since then, only ‘The Wedding Album’s ‘Ordinary World’ and probably Astronaut’s ‘(Reach Up For The) Sunrise’ have had first singles with any sort of wow factor (the less said about Pop Trash‘s ‘Someone Else Not Me’, the better) although ‘Pressure Off’ from Paper Gods wasn’t bad, in all honesty. That was until 1990’s Liberty, when for some reason the lacklustre ‘Violence of Summer (Love’s Taking Over)’ was selected to promote that particular long-player. Historically, every Duran Duran album was preceded by a fairly ‘big’-sounding single. Invisible Composed by Duran Duran and Erol Alkan
Can the band improve on the disappointing Paper Gods? Is Blur’s Graham Coxon on guitar going to change the dynamic? Are the songs that ‘feature’ other artists going to cut the mustard? These and other questions will be answered as we step through the standard 12-song version of Future Past, track-by-track.ġ. A new Duran Duran album is always of interest to SDE and we’ve been lucky enough to enjoy an early preview of the band’s forthcoming album Future Past.
