I only had 6 options :( , but I'd like to get your feedback.
Edit: I screwed up and put up My Chauffeur rather than The Chauffeur. My bad, you know the song.
The future (past) looks bright - The not so ‘New’ Romantics, Duran Duran are in a celebratory mood with plenty left in the tank. Recent, energetic sell-out performances at the likes of Austin City Limits, Isle of Wight Festival & their Birmingham homecoming have demonstrated that the Duran boys are not set to quietly exit stage left.
Not only have they managed to delight their adoring audiences, but they have also managed to attract a star-studded line-up of collaborators on their 15th studio album, Future Past. Blur’s Graham Coxon adds a six-string twist of his own on the lion’s share of the 12 tracks and legend Giorgio Moroder waves his pop wand on a couple of numbers. Not so fresh to the Duran stable is Mark Ronson, who has had a big influence on the band in the past decade. He co-writes and plays on the soulful ‘Wing.’
Fans have been exposed to a handful of the new songs already, most recently this week with the full version of ‘Give It All Up.’ The song features Swedish electro-pop princess Tove Lo. It has a delicately melancholy verse with a screaming Le Bon chorus, tastefully sprinkled with a spoonful of ‘Rio’ synthesisers. Back in May, the band released the lead single ‘Invisible.’ Sonically, it is distinctly Duran Duran with Coxon’s under-the-radar guitar licks punctuating the track. ‘All of You’ is a synth-pop funk fest.

Duran Duran - Rio (Bass Cover)
Duran Duran are an English new wave band formed in Birmingham in 1978.
The group were a leading band in the MTV-driven Second British Invasion of the US in the 1980s.
"Rio" is the seventh single by Duran Duran. It was first released as a single in Australia, in August 1982.
Originating from an idea by John Taylor about Rio de Janeiro – "the truly foreign, the exotic,
a cornucopia of earthly delights, a party that would never stop"
Simon Le Bon wrote the lyrics to the song, and chose not to write about the city but about a girl named Rio.
The tenor saxophone solo was performed by Andy Hamilton, who has also worked with Wham! and Elton John amongst others.

It's a cool part I never really listened to, and he's really fun to watch. Clearly loves to play and it was a neat look at how the song came together.
