Duran Duran "Future Past " 2021 Empathic Review

    Duran Duran has released a new album, they celebrate 40 years together. What do you get a band for their 40th Anniversary? Rubies are the traditional wedding anniversary gift. Let's keep it affordable! Duran Duran loves their couture, yet I've got to pay my light bill!  How much do ruby slippers cost? Leave any ideas in the comments. 


   Duran has been well respected in the music industry, iconic innovator. Looking over their discography, peering into a pure evolution of their genius. Build a metaphorical road built bricks of grit, determination, delights of the skin, intertwined with quite human raw emotion. Splashed with beautiful colors that illuminate the way down a road into a future. If you are new to this band, check out Spotify,  RIO is a good starter, compare and contrast with Pop Trash Movie, I strongly encourage you to try some Arcadia as well for extra texture( Honestly, I've been writing too many summaries for my English class if I get a bit carried away )  

 Who couldn't resist the fashionable, art-centric, and devilishly handsome group of British lads from Birmingham, UK? Certainly not me, that's for sure.  Digression aside, shall we talk about this album.

 Album is 12 tracks 51. minutes 4 seconds, I will not go over every track for journeys of the musical should be done by the listener, I'll pull my top 3 tracks that grabbed my ears in all the right way! 

Track.6  Beautiful Lies:  This song is lyrically beautiful, adding the synth-pop feel of it all. This song gave me goosebumps. There is a poetic ethereal mood that embodies all the notes. Please play this one live for it will be a sway worthy track. 

Track.2  All of YouWhen this track starts, you hear the bass welcome you in, its an upbeat, hopeful track with every bit of the Duran recipe pulling you through the track. 

Track. 5 Future Past: This track is a sing-out loud track out loud. Simon Lebon's vocal range is absolutely outstanding! When I'm painting, it gets me in a zone. 


In conclusion, this album makes me feel a dash of pure, unfettered happiness with a pinch of unrequited love of someone elusive yet defiantly beautiful. Why would anyone elude Duran Duran? In the same token, there are some moody tracks, or as I call it, ethereal ear candy for the soul. The synth is strong in this one, surely lovey on every level.
