Released in 1982, Rio is the iconic second album by Duran Duran and a cornerstone of the New Romantic movement. Blending sharp synth-pop with funk grooves and stylish visuals, the album propelled the band to global fame, driven by hits like “Hungry Like the Wolf,” “Save a Prayer,” and the title track “Rio.” The record's vibrant sound and exotic imagery perfectly captured the excess and allure of the early MTV era, solidifying Duran Duran’s place as pop culture trailblazers.
