Duran Duran Talk Timberlake/Timbaland Collaboration

Mon, 05 Nov 2007 03:50:45 +1100

Duran Duran have spoken about their curious collaboration with Justin Timberlake and Timbaland.

Almost a year ago to the day it was announced that the duo would be among the guest collaborators on 'Red Carpet Massacre', the 13th album from the UK pop veterans.

Vocalist Simon Le Bon told the Reuters news agency, "We tend to look at other artists who are happening now and making great records, of which Timbaland and Justin Timberlake have been at the forefront over the past few years ... So as soon as we got the opportunity to work with them it was like 'Yeah, who wouldn't?'"

Drummer Roger Taylor added, "What they taught us was that you had to be quick and that your first ideas are often the best ideas. We have made quite a few albums which were quite long, tortuous processes."

'Red Carpet Massacre' is released in Australia on November 10, in the United States on November 13 and in the UK on November 19.
