- All You Need Is Now -
Duran Duran is established on Set List, from the launch post in 2010 to the present. Therefore, there is not much to be said at the moment.
However, Roger Taylor chose to include "All You Need Is Now" in his Desert Island Discs Vol. 3 series for a reason. So in this post, I thought I would share a brief background behind the album and suppose Roger's intrigue.
Background -
13th album
Digital release in December 2010
Physical release in March 2011
No. 11 in the UK
No. 119 on Billboard 200 following digital release
No. 29 following physical release
"All You Need Is Now" - No. 38 on Billboard's Adult Pop Songs chart ... Lead single on both digital release and physical release ... In December 2010, the song was offered as a free download on iTunes.
Point of interest -
"All You Need Is Now" was not eligible for listing in the UK Sales chart because of being a free download.
Intriguing conclusion -
"Take Roxy Music, add Kraftwerk, and sprinkle on some Chic, and the result is Duran Duran." - Mojo Magazine, March 2011
My response to the quote - profound and inspiring.
Roxy Music, Kraftwerk, and Chic are all favorites of Roger Taylor.
"...the result is Duran Duran..."
"All You Need Is Now"
