Overview

In this book, Karen Windle explores their 16 studio albums and key stand-alone singles, sharing the stories behind the music. She offers a closer look at their biggest hits and deepest tracks showcasing the four members' talents: vocalist Simon Le Bon's singular lyrics and rich harmonies, keyboardist Nick Rhodes' innovative synth work and the funk-inflected rhythm section featuring bassist John Taylor and drummer Roger Taylor. Duran Duran, New Romantic trailblazers and '80s teen idols, are a British institution. Over nearly 45 years, they have broken ground with their indelible music videos, released multiple hit albums and garnered critical acclaim. From their classic self-titled debut LP and the exuberant synth-pop of Rio to the lush balladry of The Wedding Album and their recent masterstroke Future Past, they have never failed to surprise listeners – or influence a new wave of musical artists. In this book, Karen Windle explores their 16 studio albums and key stand-alone singles, sharing the stories behind the music.
