Duran Duran & Nile Rodgers Talk New Album
A day later, the group also announced a string of new tour dates, including their first concerts at the famed Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colo., and the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles.
Paper Gods is the group's 14th studio effort and first for Warner Bros. Records. (The act signed with the label in March.) The album will be preceded by the single "Pressure Off," which features Janelle Monae. Paper Gods was produced by Nile Rodgers, Mark Ronson, Mr. Hudson and Josh Blair. and also features guest turns from Kiesza, Lindsay Lohan and former Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist John Frusciante.
Paper Gods reunites Rodgers and Duran Duran, who have a long history together. He co-produced the band's Notorious album (featuring the title track, which reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100), "The Wild Boys" single (another No. 2 hit) and remixed the No. 1 hit "The Reflex" to great success. He also co-produced tracks on Astronaut. As for Ronson, he co-produced Duran Duran's last studio album, 2010's All You Need Is Now.
Both Rodgers and Ronson are coming off their own individual No. 1 successes in 2015: Rodgers, with his band Chic, recently topped the Dance Club Songs chart with "I'll Be There," while Ronson ruled the Hot 100 for 14 weeks with "Uptown Funk!" featuring Bruno Mars.
