Thoughts

It’s not often you get an album that is themed around a holiday other than Christmas, but this is Duran Duran’s effort to celebrate all things dark and Halloween. So I had to listen to it this week otherwise it wouldn’t have worked, and I’m glad I did because it was pretty good! It’s a mixture of old and new Duran songs, as well as some covers sprinkled in there too. They have mixed results (interesting take on Billie Eilish, less keen on The Specials). Overall a good album and maybe we can make Halloween records a thing!
