Kaiser Chiefs drummer Nick Hodgson has helped write tracks for the new Duran Duran album.
Hodgson was invited to work with the '80s rock act by producer Mark Ronson.
"I called Nick a week ago and asked if he'd be interested in coming to work with Duran Duran and write a song," Ronson told NME.
"He's never done that before, because he only writes with Ricky [Wilson] and his own band, but I thought it made a lot of sense because there's a lot of Kaiser Chiefs songs I could imagine being on a Duran Duran record 25 years ago."
Hodgson apparently collaborated with Simon Le Bon's band on three tracks.
"One is quite rocky, one is more Italo Disco," said the producer. "Two of them I would definitely say are making the record."
Ronson helmed Kaiser Chiefs' third studio album Off With Their Heads.
