Listen to two new songs from Duran Duran's 'Future Past' deluxe release
Following the release of their single 'Laughing Boy'
Fans were thrilled when Duran Duran announced they would be releasing their 'Future Past' album back in May 2021. Since the album came out in October, fans have still had the release of the deluxe edition to look forward to. On 11th February, this deluxe version of the album was released, and with it two new bonus tracks.
The deluxe edition contains three songs not included on the original album, but Duran Duran released one of the new songs on 8th February. Titled 'Laughing Boy', the song got instant praise from fans, who remarked how great the track is, with some even saying it's the best song on the album.
Following the excitement of hearing 'Laughing Boy' for the first time, we can now listen to the other two tracks 'Velvet Newton' and 'Invocation'. You can listen to the songs on the new album release which is available as a CD, on Vinyl or online.
Listen to 'Velvet Newton' by Duran Duran:
'Future Past', which is the band's 15th studio album, managed to get to Number 3 on the Official UK Album Chart when it was released in October, and these two new songs are an incredible edition to its tracklist.
Duran Duran also got some much-earned validation for their music as they received their first nomination for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on 2nd February.
Nick Rhodes opened up about receiving the nomination in an interview with Billboard and said: "We’ve worked so hard for so long… and sometimes it just feels good to receive affirmation like this from the industry that we work in." The final list of musicians to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2022 will be announced in May.
