Mark Ronson is to produce Duran Duran's as-yet-untitled new album, it's been announced.
The band are currently in the studio with the producer, who has worked with the likes of Amy Winehouse and Kaiser Chiefs.
In a message on their website, Duran Duran said working with Ronson was “a natural step” as they “continue to challenge themselves with each new phase of their career”.
Ronson re-worked a number of the band's hits for a one-off concert in Paris last year.
Before the gig in July, Ronson revealed Duran Duran “were the only band I ever idolised”.
At present, it's not clear when the band's 13th album will be released.
