Duran Duran revealed their first new music of 2026 on Thursday, ‘Free To Love,’ their new single featuring longtime collaborator Nile Rodgers.
“Every time we plug in and play with Nile, the electricity he generates could light up a whole city. We share a common belief that music is a force for good and something that brings positive energy into the world,” keyboardist Nick Rhodes said in a statement. The musician called the new track the band’s “call to all the people out there who want peace, hope and understanding to prevail” and an “anthem for freedom.”
“Free to Love” is the latest in the band’s long line of collaborations with Rodgers that first began with a remix of the band’s 1984 track “The Reflex,” the group’s first song to top the Billboard Hot 100.
Rodgers echoed Rhodes’ words and said, “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.” Rodgers added, “Whatever chaos is going on outside, inside the studio we’re free to love our peace.”
