Duran Duran Releases Title Track of New Album [Video]

Duran Duran just released the title track off their upcoming album, and we hope you have some time to listen to it. The track, “Paper Gods,” featuring Mr. Hudson, is more than seven-minutes long, which likely means you won’t be hearing it on the radio any time soon.

"It's the idea of sort of worshiping something one day, and then throwing it away the next and moving on to something else,” bassist John Taylor told ET about the song. “It's kind of political, I suppose, by Duran Duran standards, but we felt like it was coming from a place that we could speak of."

"It's not a message, it's an observation,” adds front man Simon Le Bon. "It's just a look at life now in the way that so much of our lives are dominated by consumerism and commodification. The commodification of our population. I think that's what it's about, really, and this idea -- there must be something more important there."

“Paper Gods,” the band’s 14th album, is due out September 11th.
