Duran Duran talk Timberlake
Yahoo! Music, Dec 21, 2006 3:00 pm PSTDuran Duran have revealed more details about their work with Justin Timberlake.
The '80s pop legends have been recording with pop hero Timberlake and superstar producer Timbaland for their currently untitled new LP.
The follow-up to 2004's Astronaut is scheduled for release in the summer and features some contributions from founding guitarist Andy Taylor, who left the band in October.
Meanwhile, Timberlake has collaborated with Duran on "Night Runner," while Timbaland is understood to have produced two further songs, "Skin Divers" and "Zooming In."
Speaking about their work with Timbaland, Nick Rhodes explained: "I'm always personally really inspired by working with urban producers, more so than rock producers. They really bring something to the songs that we don't have completely covered, whereas with rock producers, often I find [they suggest] things we'd do ourselves naturally anyway."
Despite the new influences on the tracks on the new record, however, Rhodes told Billboard that singer Simon Le Bon "is the glue that holds them all together."
