Duran Duran - Rio / Duran Duran flac album

Rio is the second studio album by English new wave band Duran Duran, originally released worldwide on 10 May 1982. It reached number two in the United Kingdom and number one in Australia and Canada. The album was re-released in the United States in November 1982. It earned a Gold disc on 1 March 1983, and was certified Platinum on 26 April 1983, eventually reaching Double Platinum status

On the VH1 show True Spin, Duran Duran explained that Rio is a metaphor for America, and the song expressed their desire to succeed there, which they did. The wordplay is interesting, as Rio is sung as if it's a girl's name, and the word conjures images of the popular and glamorous Brazilian city, which goes with the exotic image the band was cultivating. The lyrics clearly state, however, "from mountains in the North down to the Rio Grande," which is the span of America. The Rio Grande river separates the US from Mexico. When Simon Le Bon and John Taylor were on the UK show Songbook, Le Bon explained: "When we went in to make the second album, when we were starting thinking about it, you (Taylor) came up with the title 'Rio' and said, 'I think this sort of says it all in kind of a Roxy Music cool sort of wa. And we were like, 'Yeah!'

When Duran Duran convened to record the balance of Rio at George Martin's storied AIR Studios in the beginning of 1982, they couldn't have known the major leap they were about to make both in their own career and in pop music as a whole. The sound and stance the album represented would help push them toward the worldwide superstardom that came to full fruition with 1983's Seven and the Ragged Tiger, and would provide a payoff on the aspirations of the New Romantic movement in the bargain. You didn't even need to pull the LP out of its sleeve to get a whiff of what the band was aiming for on Rio. For the album cover, Duran Duran enlisted the talents of Patrick Nagel, sort of an American Alberto Vargas, best known for his glossy images of women for Playboy magazine.
