Like vermeef said, you probably won't find it on itunes, but you don't need to buy from iTunes to have it on your own iOS device - when it comes out on amazon for example, it adds it to your library anyway via the amazon downloader. That's how I tend to add new music these days.

A few years off the forum, I'm back just to comment and give my point of view on PO. and it's: 1% Duran Duran 99% modern dance scene. Poor song, worse single election in eons (Falling down not counting, as it was a joke).
But maybe it'll success.
I enjoyed AYNIN song which reminisced mid80s DD sound. But Pressure off is rubbish, a poor attempt (once more) to fit a scene they don't belong anymore. For me DD do their best as far as they run away from trying to be otherelse modern boyband. Anyway I love them and I am pretty sure they'll be able to trap me with 4 or 5 songs in Paper Gods, as they did in previous efforts. And got my ticket for Gibraltar.

After more listens I think it reminds more more of Pretty Ones, and since that song is still unreleased, I think it would work well on the CD single, along with a b-side and a remix. I know this is a very flamboyant track which put some people off as its trying to be modern yet contemporary with the 1970's. I dont know about you, but I hate Get Lucky. Its like they stole a line from Bernard Edwards, thrown over the guitar jangles of Nile, and added a very boring singer to sing it. At least with this track its bearable and not so ca'ching. Initially I thought the oh-oh's spoiled the heck out of it, but its now all part of the hook and I like it. Certainly its a bit of a 90's Spice Girls kinda dance track, but its ok if you like that sort of thing. Still, I have to say it sounds over-produced, and thats not so great, I do love the live element and think this will go down a storm at festivals etc.

I have now played the song for several of my friends doing a bit of a straw poll to see if it matched my non-objective opinion. Overwhelmingly, each has said at minimum they like it with several saying they love it.
One friend had an interesting comment that I wanted to share and see what the board thinks. He said he thought the song would be great in a television ad. I hadn't even thought of that angle, but once I did I immediately could picture it. We both agreed it would be excellent in a car commercial.
I know once upon a time if a band allowed their music in an ad, it was considered selling out. But times have changed, escpeciialy the music industry and how people discover music. I hope they do get it into a good commercial something that will be widely played and seen/heard by millions. Think of "Days Go By" from Dirty Vegas or "Breath" from Telepopmusik. Both of those became popular because of great ads. Yes, Duran Duran is a well known band, but their current music cannout claim the same standard. A well done commercial could be the key ingredient to a mocdern comeback by one of pop's most influential and important bands.

Really? What time? Giel Beelen played it before the 10 o'clock news. He really liked it, so did Michiel Veenstra who came after him and also reffered to the song. I'm guessing Gerard Ekdom will like it too That's a good sign. We'll see what happens when the radio single comes out the 4th. Naturally i'm very pessimistic about it because in Holland they're always very hostile to the band. And since there's no indication it will land on iTunes in time or at all, chances are it'll be doomed. If however the single does appear on iTunes it may very well become a (little) hit. And even be played on Q Music in the Netherlands. Since they air the iTunes top 30 show.

have finally heard it properly- sounds ok to me- not Man Who Stole a Leopard standard, sort of mid-range ish Duran- good chorus and could work well live. I would say though that not having it on I-Tunes in the UK makes it a bit harder to actually buy it
as for it being a "hit"- not going to happen-doesn't matter who they have on it or how good it is- those days have gone now- can't see them scoring another top 40 hit with this

We'll see. The chance of having a top 40 hit in Holland is real actually. At first i was somewhat sceptical but the biggest radio station in Holland played it 4 times yesterday and that is a good thing. Now is having a hitsong in Holland not the main goal of the band i guess but i am just saying that there is a real chance for them having a top 40 song again.

i think the song is produced terribly... weird and non-necessarily synth stuff in the verses... the lead in to the chorus "you you you" just sounds awkward....
and the "oh oh oh oh oh oh ohs" in the chorus are NOT singable at all... they are awkward and stuff.
even the Nile Rodgers guitar stuff I usually love is just boring in this song.
this song will most likely flop
