Astronaut

Duran Duran

A high-gloss reunion record blending 21st-century digital sheen with the band's signature funk-pop pulse. Optimistic, rhythmic, and undeniably cinematic.

The original five are back and they've traded the 80s neon for a high-def 2000s sunrise.

A high-energy, optimistic celebration of creative rebirth and collective chemistry.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The explosive, multi-tracked vocal harmony on the chorus of Sunrise that feels like a physical burst of light.
John Taylor's aggressive, percussive bass bridge in Want You More! which anchors the track's frantic energy.
The transition into the atmospheric, widescreen bridge of What Happens Tomorrow where the production suddenly opens up.
