Duran Duran have shared their first new music of 2026, teaming up with longtime collaborator Nile Rodgers on ‘Free to Love’. In a press release, Simon Le Bon describes the sleek dance track as “disco for the 2020’s.” Check it out via the accompanying video below.
“Every time we plug in and play with Nile, the electricity he generates could light up a whole city,” Nick Rhodes commented. “We share a common belief that music is a force for good and something that brings positive energy into the world. ‘Free to Love’ is our call to all the people out there who want peace, hope and understanding to prevail. An anthem for freedom, which is the most valuable currency we have, and something that should be truly and freely available for everyone, everywhere. ‘Free to Love’ has a simple message: There is nothing more important than freedom and love. We certainly need a lot more of both in the world right now.”
Rodgers added: “True love is free and unconditional. My love for Duran Duran, and what our music together has always been about, is the love we share for our song’s deepest meanings. Whatever chaos is going on outside, inside the studio we’re free to love our peace.”
