Preempting the legendary rock band’s 15th album, Future Past, which arrives on Friday, Duran Duran and Tove Lo have come together on their new single “Give It All Up.”
A quaint balance between Tove Lo’s pretty vocal with Simon Le Bon’s emotive delivery, the atypical duet rings true with such lyrics as “Anyway lover what you think I’m gonna do?/When it’s all over I give it all up for you giving up believing giving up completely for you,” they sing on the chorus. “Ooh yeah, I give it all up for you.”
In a statement about contributing her skill set to the UK rockers latest release, Tove said: “It was such an honor for me to join these legends on this amazing album and tune. Getting to sing along to Simon’s voice was pretty surreal,” “I’m also a big fan of Erol Alkan so I was very excited when I heard he was producing the track! It’s that kind of emotional song that keeps building in desperation and energy so you wanna dance and cry to it. My favorite kind!”
“Give It All Up” follows the release of Duran’s “Anniversary” video and previously shared full length singles “Invisible,” “More Joy” (featuring the Japanese rock band Chai and Blur’s Graham Coxon), and “Tonight United” (with disco legend Giorgio Moroder).
On Thursday, Duran Duran will participate in a special ticketed livestream event via Dreamstage which will include a live Q&A, and the premiere of a new half-hour documentary Double Take about the making of the “Anniversary” music video.
