NEW YORK—Duran Duran released their new single “Free To Love” featuring Nile Rodgers on Friday. The song marks another collaboration between the legendary band and the funk maestro. Rodgers previously remixed their 1984 hit “The Reflex.” Fans are calling the new track a triumphant return to form for the synth-pop pioneers. This latest collaboration reminds everyone that Duran Duran is still very much free to love their signature sound. The band has always embraced Rodgers’ production style. Their early sound was famously described as Chic meets the Sex Pistols. This new single continues that sonic legacy. “Free To Love” features Rodgers’ signature Nile-chic guitar riffs. It also includes the band’s trademark anthemic choruses. Listeners can expect a danceable beat. It’s perfect for a Saturday night. Or any night, really. Especially if you are free to love.

Nile Rodgers has been a constant presence in music. He has produced hits for decades. His work with Chic is legendary. He also produced for David Bowie and Madonna.
