Duran Duran – Rio (CD)
Product Details
Synthesizers, tailored suits, and a camera-ready swagger made Duran Duran the defining image of early MTV, but Rio holds up because the songwriting runs deeper than the aesthetic. Nick Rhodes and Simon Le Bon built tracks that balanced new wave tension with genuine pop craft, and producer Colin Thurston helped shape a sound that influenced a generation of bands reaching for that same shimmer.
Duran's second album, Rio, was released in 1982 following the success of their debut album. Rio electrified the already-rising 'second British invasion', dominating the American charts with singles such as 'Rio', 'Hungry Like The Wolf' and 'Save a Prayer'. All of which remain as some of Duran's biggest streaming songs to this day.
