Desire - Games People Play

Desire return with Games People Play, an expansive 21-track double album that finds the band pushing deeper into their world of Dancefloor Pop and Film Noir. Recorded between Los Angeles, Paris, and London, the album unfolds like a game of chess—Desire as the queen, fate as the dealer, and love as the ultimate wager. It’s a cinematic labyrinth of passion, power, and deception where every move counts, and every lover risks heartbreak on the razor’s edge.  

The record combines big-room club anthems (“Dream Girl,” “Drama Queen”), shadowy noir interludes (“Othello,” “Réflexion Sous La Pluie”), and timeless ballads (“The Judge,” “Cold As Ice”), all framed by Johnny Jewel’s signature cinematic production. With 72 minutes of music, Games People Play is both a mirror and a mask: part dancefloor, part dream sequence, part broken heart.
