So the Duran Duran, Timbaland and JT track has hit the internet.
It sounds like Timbaland trying to copy Duran Duran and falling short. The absurdly tight and funky rhythm section is nowhere to be heard and the super chic synth layers of Nick Rhodes are barely there. It's not a terrible song, and it captures more of the spirit of early Duran Duran, which is good, but this could have been so much more. Timbaland already takes his pop sensibilities from Duran Duran and other 80s pop heavy-weights - I just wish he stuck by that here. I think the best description would be that it's something like a bad Duran Duran remix. I could those French cats Justice throwing a nice bass groove on this and speeding things up and having a killer track. I can only hope that actually happens.
