I really think the marketing horse has stumbled and fallen right out of the gate on the promotion for this new song / album and needs to be put down. Seriously. There hasn't been any proper hype for their new material in terms of marketing. Where's the website? Where's the eyebrow raising artwork to pique people's interest? Aside from "fans" of Duran Duran, do those who not really follow the band know about this new single / album? They need to capture that zeitgeist that they had for the Wedding Album. And actually, that snippet was 15 seconds long - hardly enough to satiate our aural thirst.

I personally loved it and find myself hyped for this in a way I didn’t expect. With PO we basically had a whole idea of what the song was due to the low quality fan recorded leak from that winery gig. AYNIN the song same deal we had a good whole sample of the outro played over the remastered BTM credits. This sample of invisible was good enough to get a idea but still leaves mystery. I love it. As for promotion, we all can agree it can be better but at least they are doing something now. We got a concrete date for the single which is what I’ve been wanting. At the end of the day let’s enjoy this.... as I said before this could always be the last time we get this from DD

As for Part 2 of duran 40, I never realized Nick contributed so many lyrics. I thought he only contributed to the crap songs, Medazzaland, Lava Lamp etc, but it turned out he wrote the lyrics for EB and Leopard.
It was also mainly NR talking, SlB did not comment on the post TWA work until Astronaut. An JT was hardly in it at all.
Still nice to hear

Can’t get enough of this snippet. Has anyone figured out the lyrics?
When you can’t even say my name Has the memory gone Now you’re feeling done Cause we’ve all become invisible
At least that’s what I’m hearing...

Thematically, Invisible seems to take it's cue from You Kill Me With Silence.

Iit’s a good idea to just drop songs with no hype,....sometimes you want the fan base and general public discovering at the same time, This is the beginning of a 4-6 month campaign for the release of the album (fall).
