Duran Duran släpper singeln “More Joy! feat. CHAI”

By on 6 augusti, 2021

Nu kommer de hyllade poplegenderna Duran Durans nya singel “MORE JOY! feat. CHAI” – det andra smakprovet från deras kommande och femtonde album “Future Past”, som släpps via Tape Modern/BMG den 22 oktober.

På “MORE JOY!” så är det precis glädje Duran Duran vill skapa; de fördjupar sin välkända musikaliska energi samtidigt som de lägger till discopunk-doftande J-pop genom samarbetet med CHAI; tjejpunkbandet från Nagoya i Japan.

Här visar också Duran Duran varför de fortfarande är ett av vår tids mest relevanta och framåtblickande band. Med snabba synthar, tung percussion och CHAIs hejarops-liknande körer framkallar låten ren glädje!

Keyboardisten Nick Rhodes berättar om nya singeln: 

“The song ‘MORE JOY!’ was born out of a crazy jam with Duran Duran, Graham Coxon and Erol Alkan. It was such an unusual piece we weren’t quite sure if it would fit in at first. It reminded me of one of those retro Japanese video games, which I always found quite uplifting. We came up with the chant “more joy” early on, and that became the key to the rest of the track. We all agreed that it would sound really great with Japanese female voices on it, and that’s when Simon had the inspired idea to ask CHAI if they would possibly collaborate with us. To our joy they agreed, and the result most certainly brought an incredible new energy to the song. They are so special!!

Simon Le Bon berättar om samarbetet med CHAI: 

“Nick suggested some girlish voices on ’MORE JOY!’ and I knew exactly where to find them – CHAI, post-modern, all-girl Japanese punk band, whose energy and pure sense of fun might actually blow your ears off! We are honoured to have them sprinkle their pink neon magic spikey dust onto our song. Now it’s ’MORE JOY!’ (feat. CHAI). CHAI – beloved forever!”

CHAI om samarbetet:“We are full of joy! When Duran Duran asked us to join their new song, we listened to it and thought ‘this is lively, rock, cool and fun’, and we danced! We added our voices to their rock sound, making it even more ”MORE JOY”! Because we are MORE JOY. Thank you Duran Duran!”

“Future Past” är producerad av legendarerna Erol Alkan och Giorgio Moroder tillsammans med Duran Duran. På albumet medverkar också några av de mest spännande namnen inom nutida pop; som Tove Lo, Ivorian Doll, Graham Coxon, Mark Ronson, CHAI och Mike Garson.
