Duran Duran‘s “Danse Macabre” Album Download Free MP3 ZIP Files
Duran Duran is releasing a new album called Danse Macabre.
THe album will feature a mix of new songs and covers of classics by artists such as Billie Eilish, Talking Heads, and The Rolling Stones. The album was released on October 27, 2023, through BMG and Tape Modern.
Danse Macabre is the sixteenth studio album by the British band Duran Duran and is inspired by a Halloween show they played in Las Vegas in 2022. The album features three new tracks, covers, and reimagined versions of older Duran Duran material. Former guitarists Andy Taylor and Warren Cuccurullo appear on the album, marking their first appearances on a Duran Duran LP since 2004 and 2000, respectively. Nile Rodgers and Victoria De Angelis of Måneskin also feature as guest artists.
The album is Halloween-themed, and the band’s frontman, Simon Le Bon, said it’s “supposed to be fun!” He explained that the album is about a crazy Halloween party and is not meant to be taken too seriously. Original compositions like the title track coexist alongside covers of Billie Eilish’s “Bury a Friend,” Talking Heads’ “Psycho Killer,” and The Rolling Stones’ “Paint It Black.” The project also features special guests, including former guitarist Andy Taylor and legendary artist Nile Rodgers on the song “Black Moonlight.”
Danse Macabre follows Duran Duran’s 2021 album Future Past. Founding member and bass player John Taylor said the album “offers an interesting insight into the band’s personality” with music that “packs a real punch.” Keyboardist Nick Rhodes revealed that the project was made faster than anything they had done since their debut album and that the result was something they could not predict. He cited the band’s core elements of emotion, mood, style, and attitude as the album’s essence. Danse Macabre is “the soundtrack to their ultimate Halloween party.”
The album was available for pre-order in mid-August 2023 and was officially announced on August 30. The lead single of the same name was released the same day. According to Rhodes, the song was intended to celebrate “the joy and madness of Halloween.” The band produced the album Josh Blair and Mr. Hudson, including covers of Billie Eilish, The Rolling Stones, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Rick James, and Talking Heads.
