Duran Duran’s Danse Macabre: De Luxe is now available in an innovative, limited-edition version KiTalbum. Duran Duran have announced an exclusive collaboration with South Korean based media and music technology company, KiTbetter to create the Danse Macabre: De Luxe KiTalbum - a new format that unites the physical and digital worlds within a special mobile-based KiTplayer (available for both Android and iOS) to create a full album experience.

 

⚰️ The Danse Macabre De Luxe KiTalbum comes in an exclusive coffin-shaped, foiled box and includes an insert card, four exclusive photo cards in an envelope, a 22 page album booklet, a wearable button, and a customized black ball chain.  The KiTalbum unlocks the experience on the KiTplayer where, in addition to the full sixteen album tracks, the stunning music videos for both ‘Black Moonlight’ and ‘Danse Macabre’, the lyric videos for ‘Psycho Killer’ and ‘Evil Woman’, documentary footage about the making of the record, song lyrics and exclusive photos are featured, together with a special VIP fan hub.

 

The De Luxe edition features three new bonus tracks - an instrumental entitled ‘Masque of the Pink Death,’ a cover of ELO’s 'Evil Woman' and 'New Moon (Dark Phase)', a reimagined version of their classic song 'New Moon On Monday' from the Seven and The Ragged Tiger album, featuring Andy Taylor. Danse Macabre De Luxe also includes the original collection of 13 songs, including haunting covers of Billie Eilish’s ‘Bury A Friend’, Talking Heads’ ‘Psycho Killer’ featuring Victoria De Angelis, The Rolling Stones’ ‘Paint It Black,’ and The Specials’ ‘Ghost Town,’ plus new versions of Duran Duran classics from their own catalogue. Guest artists include producer, guitarist, and composer Nile Rodgers, Victoria De Angelis of Måneskin, and former Duran Duran band members Andy Taylor and Warren Cuccurullo. Exquisitely packaged, the record features images adapted from a collection of authentic vintage séance photos that Nick Rhodes sourced at auction.

 

Danse Macabre has been described as "great ghoulish fun" by the Evening Standard, "an outrageous soundtrack for the witching hour" by the Daily Telegraph, "a treat" by the Daily Mirror, "Spooky fun" in The Times, "a demonic delight" by the Daily Star, with Sunday Times Culture confirming, "they've hit a purple patch."

 

Speaking about Danse Macabre: De Luxe, keyboardist Nick Rhodes reveals, “When we released our Danse Macabre project last year it was born from a spontaneous decision to pull together a record which celebrated the madness and joy of Halloween. In doing so, we unlocked an unexpected box of curiosity and creativity, which led us to reimagine some of our older songs, record cover versions of some of our favorites, and write several new pieces. This year, the inspiration was somehow still lingering, and I loved the idea of expanding the collection, because we could… Why not add some of the songs that we considered initially now that we had the luxury of a little more time? This thought resulted in another new song, a cover of the ELO classic, Evil Woman, and a remake of New Moon on Monday.”
