Duran Duran - Falling Down / Red Carpet Massacre
The much-anticipated new single from DURAN DURAN - FALLING DOWN has been released this week. Co-written and produced by Justin Timberlake, FALLING DOWN is taken from the band's eagerly-awaited new album RED CARPET MASSACRE, which released on November 19th on the RCA Label Group.
Already recognized by both fans and critics alike as a pivotal song in the band's illustrious career, FALLING DOWN was the last track to be written and recorded for their new album, that has been a year in the making, with producer's Timbaland, Nate 'Danja' Hills and long-time Duran Duran fan, Justin Timberlake at the helm.
Simon LeBon recalls; "When I went up to see Justin at one of his shows in the Midlands he asked if he could hear everything we'd recorded and at the end he said 'You need an Ordinary World to round things out.' This, he told Simon, had been one of his favourite songs when he was a pop-crazed 14 year old and as LeBon remarks with powerful understatement "What goes around, comes around."
Marking one of Timberlake's first solo productions, FALLING DOWN was completed - from start to finish - over the course of a weekend at Elbow's Blueport Studio in Manchester, when Justin was on tour in the UK and the four band members were getting ready to deliver their record. Believing that they needed an epic track in the vein of Ordinary World to round out the album, Justin challenged the band (Simon LeBon, John Taylor, Roger Taylor and Nick Rhodes) to come up with a mid-tempo ballad that would not only appeal to their existing army of fans, but that could also touch a new audience around the world. Charged with the task at hand LeBon crafted poignant lyrics over the song's memorable melody and within 24 hours they had something that they all knew would be one of the cornerstone tracks on the new release.
