OVERVIEW
DURAN DURAN’s stunning new single FALLING DOWN. Co-written and produced by Justin Timberlake, FALLING DOWN is taken from the band’s eagerly-awaited new album RED CARPET MASSACRE, which will be on November 20th 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.
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.
RED CARPET MASSACRE has been produced by DURAN DURAN, NATE “DANJA” HILLS (Nelly Furtado, Justin Timberlake, Timbaland), JIMMY DOUGLASS (Missy Elliot, Nelly Furtado, Timbaland, Bryan Ferry, Jay Z, Snoop Dog), JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE and TIMBALAND.
