Duran Duran has released the latest preview to their new album Danse Macabre, and it features the legendary Nile Rodgers.

The new track is titled “Black Moonlight” and can be heard below. Singer Simon Le Bon said of the collaboration, “‘Black Moonlight’ is this classic Duran Duran-Nile Rodgers collaboration. When Nile started playing his guitar in the studio, he really inspired everyone with his riff, and the song just kind of wrote itself.”

As previously reported, Danse Macabre is due out on October 27 and is available for pre-order here. Per the band’s website, “Catalyzed by one special live performance that Duran Duran filmed in Las Vegas on October 31 of last year, ‘Danse Macabre’ is the soundtrack to their ultimate Halloween party.”

Duran Duran: Ranking the 7 Music Videos of ‘Rio’

Duran Duran released their second album Rio on May 10, 1982. Even decades after its release, Rio can still be found at the intersection of style and substance. It’s pop/rock perfection in a lean nine-track package that can still cause the masses to dance their asses off while also finding time for introspection.

Perhaps the prime examples of the album’s mix of style and substance came with its music videos, which thanks to the launch of MTV, helped catapult Duran Duran to stardom not just in the United State but worldwide.

To celebrate the anniversary of this album and Duran Duran’s upcoming induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, here are the seven music videos from Rio ranked.
