Duran Duran Red Carpet Massacre Production Credits

First off here is the Danja produced track "Red Carpert Massacre". I'm definitely feeling the vibe of this track and like Danja said he's helping bring Duran Duran's music back into mainstream sound despite their abscence from music for so many years.

Here's a few more:

"The Valley"

"Box Full O'Honey"

and here are the production credtis for the album:

The Valley
Music: Duran Duran and Nate Hills
Lyrics: Simon LeBon
Co-produced by Duran Duran, Nate Hills and Jimmy Douglass

JT “This was the breakthrough, the crossover, the song we could build an album around. We set up the gear in the control room and came up with a progressive groove. It ended up becoming the album opener and feels like the perfect track to start our upcoming shows with.”

SLeB “It’s about looking at life as moments rather than achievements. It’s about making one’s way through the trials and tribulations of life.”

Red Carpet Massacre
Music: Duran Duran and Nate Hills
Lyrics: Simon LeBon
Co-produced by Duran Duran, Nate Hills and Jimmy Douglass

Nite-Runner, with Justin Timberlake and Timbaland
Music: Duran Duran, Justin Timberlake, Timbaland and Nate Hills.
Lyrics: Simon LeBon, Justin Timberlake and Timbaland
Co-produced by Duran Duran, Timbaland, Justin Timberlake and Nate Hills

NR “This was the first collaboration we did with Justin, Tim and Nate. It felt like we were in a nightclub. When we finished it we knew we were on the verge of something new.”

SLeB: “This reminded me of NOTORIOUS when the band first split and we worked with Nile Rodgers.”

Falling Down, with Justin Timberlake
Music: Duran Duran and Justin Timberlake
Lyrics: Simon LeBon
Produced by Justin Timberlake

SLeB “It’s about a crash I had when I was racing a motorbike, the thoughts that ran through my mind before I hit the ground. As soon as I got the chorus, Justin was like, ‘That’s it!!’ ”

JT “It’s easy to be esoteric. It’s so much harder to write from the heart. This is an important song for Duran.”

Skin Divers, featuring Timbaland
Music: Duran Duran, Timbaland, Nate Hills
Lyrics: Simon LeBon and Timbaland
Co-produced: Duran Duran, Timbaland, Nate Hills

Timbaland: “That one hit me instant.”

JT: “This is the song that best captures the sense of Timband meets Duran Duran. It wrote itself during a jam and then Tim finished off his parts a couple of months later when he was in the UK - very late at night, after a gig. He came down to the hotel ballroom and just recorded them on a laptop. Fucking genius. When you are that talented you don’t need too much technology to create the magic!”

Box Full O’Honey
Music: Duran Duran and Nate Hills
Lyrics: Simon LeBon
Co-produced by Duran Duran, Nate Hills and Jimmy Douglass

Tempted
Music: Duran Duran and Nate Hills
Lyrics: Simon LeBon
Co-produced by Duran Duran, Nate Hills and Jimmy Douglass

JT “This is the dance party track. It’s arms in the air for French discos.”

SLeB “Nate Hills said before we recorded this, ‘do you wanna go up, or go down?’ It’s about dance-floor politics.”

Tricked Out
Music: Duran Duran and Nate Hills
Co-produced by Duran Duran, Nate Hills and Jimmy Douglass
going to do a melody over it but then I thought I’d leave it. This gives me a chance to change my shirt during the concert!”

Zoom In
Music: Duran Duran, Timbaland, Nate Hills
Lyrics: Simon LeBon
Co-produced: Duran Duran, Timbaland, Nate Hills

JT “Very Timbaland, very Nate, very New York, a real transition track for us.”

She’s Too Much
Music: Duran Duran and Nate Hills
Lyrics: Simon LeBon
Co-produced by Duran Duran, Nate Hills and Jimmy Douglass

JT “We built this up in a very textural way around the chords.”

Dirty Great Monster
Music: Duran Duran and Nate Hills
Lyrics: Simon LeBon
Co-produced by Duran Duran, Nate Hills and Jimmy Douglass

Last Man Standing
Music: Duran Duran and Nate Hills
Lyrics: Simon LeBon
Co-produced by Duran Duran, Nate Hills and Jimmy Douglass

Danja had a hand in 11 of the 12 tracks that's HUGE!! Plus you got Jimmy D on the boards so you know the sound is going to be on point. This is my most anticipated album of the next couple of months. BIG thanks to Bigmac as always for coming through with the info.

  5. DAMN! I had no idea the entire album would be a Tim and Danja affair. I thought Tim and Danja would only do a couple of tracks and the rest would be with other producers. I am so into Danja right now, so I can't wait to hear the rest of this album. Hopefully it'll be good. I love "Nite runner", but hate "Skin divers".

  7. "The Valley" sounds good... even if I hear the same drum pattern from Tim's "One And Only" in there somewhere.

  8. Ditto. "The valley" sounds HAWT!!! Oh shit. That beat is serious! This needs to be a single. This shit sounds much better than "Nite runner" and also much more classic Duran Duran. But I guess because Timbaland features on "Nite runner" they thought it'd be a safer bet to capitalize on his success right now by releasing it first.

    I will be copping this album day of release.
