No, this time it just doesn't work. I'll write it right away: it's a bad song or, rather, it's not a Duran Duran piece. I've been wondering for over 40 years how they can, fortunately very rarely, release songs so different from their genre. Two examples, All Along the Water and the much famous, yet bad, Wild Boys.
For heaven's sake, it will certainly be a commercial operation; the collaboration with the Japanese group Chai will ensure, Covid-19 permitting, sold-out arenas and significant sales in Asia, but this song is completely "wrong" and, I am sure, it won't please the early fans like myself.
I save Le Bon's voice (truly splendid) and certain melodies that faintly remind of "the good old times," but otherwise More Joy wouldn't even deserve a bside.
Compared to the first single Invisible, they have taken worrying steps backward.
