If it’s mostly covers I do hope it’s released by year’s end.
Still, it’s a happy development. Working remotely or not, at least they’re working together.

I always hope for new music from Duran Duran regardless of who plays guitar, so I hope it happens. Will wait for an official announcement before I get too excited though.

I would think it’s got a single and maybe two other new songs and a bunch of covers from the 70s. Thank you done right? Yeah, Thank You was never (in my opinion) covers of previous Duran influences (Roxy music, Bowie, Chic etc) It was an album of that 90s era, that has dated terribly, and was influenced too much by Warren I think in hindsight. Anyway, back to this reported album, it would be nice to hear something official from all the guys on it. I'm really excited by the news, but I'm not expecting too much from it. I'm just glad if it happens at all. If it does, it seems rushed for a Duran album, it appears to be planned remotely, you have to consider Andy's health, the tour, all this. The finished article mightn't run great, but I think they're all at a stage where I'll take listening to any type of Duran music. Here's hoping.

John saying it’s ‘mostly’ cover versions. He also says it’s only came together since Andy diagnoses came to light, so that makes it after the Halloween album idea.
Taking a wild guess but sounds like it will be cover version’s inspired by the Halloween show and a couple of unreleased tracks, most likely a couple from Reportage.

Just woke up to this. WOW!!! This is great, great news. For us fans, but most importantly for the band. It’s a very cool idea, given the exceptional circumstances.
Personally, I thought one of the best recording of the reunion period was Instant Karma. The disco rhythm in the chorus with SLB’s delivery was great! I thought this was the band really working in harmony once more. Which made Andy’s departure soon after even more shocking.
So after reading a few of the articles reporting it, I’ve a few questions/point needing clarity:
1. might this new covers album actually be the Halloween covers album?
2. Or Might the Halloween album just be a live recording of the show they played?
3. JT mentioned that the album will have quite a lot over covers on it. Clearly that confirms the it’s not purely covers meaning some original material!
4. Do with think Reportage is back on the table?
Exciting news in a poignant period the band. Excite for them!

Agree with you - the first thing I thought of was “Instant Karma” and how much I liked it. And as others have noted, if it’s “mostly” covers, that implies some new material which must be from Reportage…which would seem to solve the “no first single problem” ?!?!

As long as I am very happy for a possible Andy's partecipation to next DD's album, I will believe it when it is confirmed by an official statement. Who knows what John really said at that Unforgettable Evening in LA... frankly speaking I don't trust newspapers as a reliable source.
I find also strange that only Simon is flying to Ibiza to work with Andy. I think it's bizarre that the other 3 would not want to work physically with Andy for a last time, considering his health situation.
So, I take everything with hope it is true but with a bit of skeptical attitude.
