Anyway, things have shifted a lot since Duran Duran announced that they were working with Justin Timberlake and Timbaland as producers for a few songs on their new album - thirteenth studio release, sheesh. Nate Hills, Timbaland's "protege," produced most of the album proving that it's not what you know, it's who. From the get-go it was announced that Jay Tee would be singing on a track entitled, "Nite Runner," and the album's previous incarnation Nite Runner was to come out this summer. Due to Andy Taylor's second departure from Dee Dee {creative differences again, this time less about genres and more about management and perhaps in part because of the band's decision to include Timberlake in songwriting and maybe something to do with Epic Records}, half of the formerly eponymous album had to be scrapped.
Red Carpet Massacre "drops" October 30th. It also includes a song called "Skin Diver"?! Also, though "Nite Runner" is their lead single, Entertainment Weekly was given another Timberlake-written song, "Falling Down" as their single {streaming here}. Epic Records seems to like fucking up left and right.
It's okay, I guess: Nite Runner
Also, Simon Le Bon has the best life ever. He's married to Yasmin Parvaneh.
