It also helps having cool friends make some key guest appearances. It helps that Simon Le BonвЂ™s voice has not changed a bit over the years. This record sounds very natural for them. It feels like todayвЂ™s pop radio and yet, the band never feels like some sort of eighties nostalgia act trying to stretch to sound young and hip. Still, вЂњPaper GodsвЂќ is a shocking, yet reassuring wake-up call, continuing on and besting the rebirth heard on their last album, 2011вЂ™s вЂњAll You Need Is Now.вЂќ That album followed the merely passable вЂњ Red Carpet Massacre.вЂќ But really this reawakening feels akin to the one felt in 1993 when the band re-emerged with the massive hit singles, вЂњOrdinary WorldвЂќ (which is still their best song to date) and вЂњCome Undone,вЂќ off their self-titled вЂњWedding Album.вЂќДuran Duran remain ever constant pop shape-shifters. In the eighties, Duran Duran were a rock band using elements of synth-pop to their advantage long before many of their modern pop disciples were born. Before you scoff at that notion, go back and listen to вЂњRioвЂќ or any one of their eighties hits and youвЂ™ll find that synth-heavy glossy sound sounds strikingly familiar.
