![]() Huxley is a unique dreamer with its own A.I. whose ‘mind’ has been designed based on what we know about how the cognitive and emotional processes of human beings work. In a ground-breaking, world first, Huxley is an A.I. The official film for Duran Duran’s “INVISIBLE” is the first collaboration of its kind, between artists in different planes of existence. I think when you merge all the instruments together, it creates an overall sound that perhaps you haven’t heard before.” Sonically, it’s a very unusual piece of music. I think, with “INVISIBLE”, we really have managed to carve the sculpture the way we wanted it. Talking about the single from his home in London, co-founder and keyboardist, Nick Rhodes said: “ Sonic architecture has always been incredibly important to Duran Duran. The official music video was created by an Artificial Intelligence (A.I) called Huxley and comes out ahead of the band’s worldwide exclusive televised performance of the track, set to air live from London on the 2021 Billboard Music Awards, on Sunday, May 23 on NBC in North America. The first single to come from FUTURE PAST is “INVISIBLE”, produced by Erol Alkan and Duran Duran, and mixed by Mark ‘Spike’ Stent. Set for global release on October 22 via TAPE MODERN for BMG, FUTURE PAST boasts esteemed producers Erol Alkan, Giorgio Moroder andMark Ronson behind the board, plus special guest Graham Coxon of Blur on guitar, Bowie’s former pianist Mike Garson, and guest vocals from Lykke Li, with more exciting collaborators to be announced. ![]() Internationally acclaimed, multi-platinum, award-winning pop legends Duran Duran released their brand new single “INVISIBLE”, with accompanying music video, alongside official details on their highly anticipated 15th studio album, FUTURE PAST. Duran Duran are taking some calculated risks here which sometimes means they stumble - occasionally, the ballads feel a shade strident - but the restlessness makes for a kinetic, exciting album.DURAN DURAN – “INVISIBLE” TAPE MODERN/BMG Much of Future Past feels like modern disco, music that blurs the distance separating the club and home and that plays with genre as fluidly as it plays with technology. Their work orbits "Beautiful Lies" and "Tonight United," a pair of neo-disco tracks produced by Giorgio Moroder strategically placed in the middle of the album. Together, Duran Duran, Coxon, and Alkan craft a dense, shape-shifting tapestry that gets punctured by the guitarist's melodic squalls and the group's thick hooks. Swedish pop star Tove Lo and English rapper Ivorian Doll are duet partners, Japanese pop band Chai provide a chorus cameo, while Mike Garson - the pianist best-known for his work on David Bowie's Aladdin Sane - graces the finale "Falling." Much of the actual vibe and sound of Future Past is due to the behind-the-scenes collaborators, specifically producer Erol Alkan and Blur guitarist Graham Coxon, a pair who are responsible for co-writing and producing the lion's share of the album. Occasionally, the gilded synthesized surfaces of Future Past recall the futurism of New Wave, but Duran Duran take pains to not re-create the past by inviting a fresh set of collaborators into the studio. Future Past is perhaps the quintessential title for Duran Duran in 2021, when the veteran New Romantics trade in their legacy while keeping their focus directly on the future.
