EVIL WOMAN

Duran Duran’s “Evil Woman” on Tape Modern strips the new wave icons down to their essential synth-pop mechanics, trading stadium polish for lean, propulsive electronics. The track locks into a taut rhythm that recalls the band’s early 80s precision while maintaining the contemporary production sensibilities Tape Modern favors. Built on crystalline synthesizers and a hypnotic bassline, it’s a reminder that Duran Duran’s core appeal—melodic sophistication married to dancefloor urgency—remains potent decades later.
