Duran Duran have shared their latest single, Black Moonlight, from the band’s Halloween-themed album, ‘Danse Macabre’.

The follow-up to the title song from the record features Nile Rodgers and former bandmate Andy Taylor, who hasn’t recorded with the group in close to 20 years.

“Nile Rogers is a force of nature. When we get into a room, we start playing, and magic happens,” says keyboardist Nick Rhodes. “Nile always says that CHIC is his first band, and Duran Duran is his second. Thematically, I personally prefer the moon to the sun. Simon took the idea and ran with it.”

Frontman Simon Le Bon added: “Black Moonlight is this classic Duran Duran-Nile Rodgers collaboration. When Nile started playing his guitar in the studio, he really inspired everyone with his riff, and the song just kind of wrote itself.”

Listen to Black Moonlight below.

The latest album from the Rock And Roll Hall Of Famers features 13 songs – a blend of originals, reimagined rarities and new originals – and sees the return of former members Andy Taylor and Warren Cuccurullo. 

Produced by Josh Blair and Mr. Hudson, the LP also has guest appearances from Nile Rodgers and Victoria De Angelis of Måneskin, with Nick saying the LP “celebrates the joy and madness of Halloween”. 

“We had decided to seize the moment to create a unique, special event … the temptation of using glorious gothic visuals set to a dark soundtrack of horror and humour was simply irresistible.” 

Of the album, which includes covers of songs by artists such as Billie Eilish, Talking Heads, The Rolling Stones and The Specials, Simon Le Bon adds, “It’s about a crazy Halloween party. It’s supposed to be fun!” 

In fitting with the theme, the album is packaged featuring images adapted from a collection of authentic vintage séance photos that Nick sourced at auction.

‘Danse Macabre’ – featuring the lead single and title song, out now – is due October 27 on BMG and available to pre-order now.
