Duran Duran have posted the title track of their new album, 'Paper Gods'.
The legendary synth-pop group's 14th LP is due September 11 on Warner Bros. Paper Gods is a collaboration with Mr Hudson, while the rest of the record boasts guest appearances by Janelle Monáe, former Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist John Frusciante, Kiesza, Davidé Rossi, Lindsay Lohan and producers Nile Rodgers, Mark Ronson and Josh Blair.
Discussing the song, which you can check out below, Simon Le Bon said:
“It’s a song about our obsession, with money, with material things and how we trivialise our lives, and humanity. It’s definitely the angriest song on the album. Usually I tend to be much less specific when it comes to lyrics, because I like it when people hear our songs and create their own stories around them. But in this case, I wanted the anger to be unambiguous: ‘The slaver in a sweatshop, putting trainers on your feet.’ It’s about the price that we pay, that everyone pays, for the world as it is now.”
