About this item

Erol Alkan further expands on his production for Duran Duran’s acclaimed 2021 studio album, ‘Future Past’, with a ceremonious, widescreen rework of the single ‘Give It All Up’.

Recorded in London with founding members Simon Le Bon, Nick Rhodes, John Taylor and Roger Taylor, as well as Blur's Graham Coxon on guitar, ‘Give It All Up’ also features contributions from Swedish singer-songwriter Tove Lo, whose soaring vocals anchor the dramatic progression of Alkan’s sensitive reinterpretation.

Blossoming in unison with Le Bon’s own iconic voice and an insistent bassline that recalls the band’s innovative ‘Night Versions’, Alkan draws closer together Duran Duran’s legendary instinct for both pop music and the dancefloor alike. Expanding on this, the 12” includes a ‘Stripped Vox’ version which appears exclusive to the vinyl edition, arranged by Alkan for his own DJ sets and proven to be a powerful tool at clubs and festivals over the past few months.

STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: Really enjoying these Erol reworks on Phantasy. Another one of synth-pop legends Duran Duran, which he turns into a deep yet anthemic slice of late night electro-disco pop.
