    Mark Ronson says new Duran Duran album is their best for 20 years
    05 June 2009 - Super producer Mark Ronson has taken on desk duties for 80s icons Duran Duran and has revealed they've recorded 14 songs for the new album.

    “I think it's their best record - I don't mean to offend anybody - but their best in maybe 20 years,” Ronson said to 6 Music about the material.The influential pop band started out in the late 70s and their back catalogue includes hits Rio, Girls On Film and Wild Boys.

    It’s their first album since Red Carpet Massacre in 2007 and could be with us before 2009’s end, according to Ronson.

    “We've just been recording in the studio and we've got about 14 great songs and I'm really excited about it,” he explained. “There's parts of it that's so 80s…it's like Miami Vice, but in a good way.”

    Ronson previously wrote in his Myspace blog that the new material sounds like, “Rio and Planet Earth all over again”."Simon's voice still sounds as good as it did when he was 21."

    “Obviously Rio's a great record and you're never going to recreate that but I think if you love those records and the spirit of Duran then you'll dig this record,” he explained.

    The Kaiser Chiefs producer admitted he’s been a long-time fan of Duran Duran: “They were my favourite band when I was a kid from about the age of 9 to 15 and I still listen to that stuff and go back to it because it's great music.

    “It [the album] does have a lot of the energy of those recordings and they're great songs and Simon's voice still sounds as good as it did when he was 21.”

    The producer reckons Le Bon and co will preview new material at their shows at Lovebox festival and Edinburgh Castle in July and failing an album release this year, he thinks they’ll put out a single at least.

    Ronson’s next

    Meanwhile Mark Ronson revealed he is heading back into the studio in a matter of weeks to start work on his third album.

    His second offering featured vocals from Lily Allen, Amy Winehouse, Santigold and Ronson's Australian protégé Daniel Merriweather.

    As for the direction of his follow-up to 2007’s Version, Ronson said: “I'm not exactly sure to be honest. I'm just going into the studio in a few weeks and we'll see what comes out. It won't be covers and it won't sound like Version but I'm not quite sure.”

    He said he’s looking forward to writing an album of original tracks: “When I'm working with Lily and Amy and Daniel, I write a lot with them. Version was just a kind of anomaly but yeah I'm definitely excited to do my own stuff again.”

    We asked him if he had any collaborators in mind, to which he responded: “Just Stevie Wonder, I'm thinking that he would probably be good on something.

    “Working with Santigold and Lily and Amy before their album's came out was just something that came about because they were friends.

    “It wasn't a grand master plan, so I'd kind of rather find the next batch, but I'm not quite sure who's working on this record.”

    carino Mark Ronson a parlare del lavoro coi Duran Duran.....(a capirci qualcosa però) TRASLATION PLEASE!
    veramente molto carino Mark Ronson a rilasciare una intervista dove parla della sua collaborazione insieme ai Duran Duran, (per il prossimo album) ma se all'intervista in inglese seguisse anche una traduzione in italiano la gradirei molto di più... [SM=g27828] se qualche volontaria se presta a farla gliene sarei veramente molto grata...e speriamo che Mark sia davvero l'uomo giusto per far tornare a parlare dei DD non per un flop commerciale (anche se RCM a me è piaciuto per la maggior parte dei pezzi) almeno 6 su 12 pezzi (la metà insomma) che è già una bella media no? ma se stavolta facessero anche solo 10 pezzi ma TUTTI graditi alla maggior parte dei fans non sarebbe male no? io mi auguro con tutto il cuore che stavolta l'album raggiunga i vertici delle classifiche e che ci rimanga per un bel pò...chiedo tropp??? lo so che non siamo più negli 80's (me lo dicono tutti) ma visto che i DD sono ancora attivissimi perchè non sperare che dopo un flop facciano un.....BOOM! (botto)??? non sarebbe niente male.....sicuramente i 2 "timballi" erano gli uomini sbagliati al posto sbagliato, ma ho già visto come erano ben affiatati i DD con Ronson in occasione del concerto a parigi (non ricordo il luogo del concerto scusate) e lui sicuramente può essere l'uomo giusto al momento giusto....intanto aspetto la traduzione dell'intervista che ha rilasciato, cosi posso capirci qualcosa di più di cosa stanno "combinando" quei 5 (4 DD + Ronson) ok???.... [SM=x975979] Bye From Tiger Le Bon.
