No idea, sorry, but I'll be interested to hear it once it's out - liked his previous stuff, it'll be good to see what direction he's taken with the new album....

Did his first album do well in the US. I ask because I know Savage Garden were big over in the US.

It didn't have the same success as the Savage Garden albums.

Have found out more information now about the album and Darren's been working with the following writers/producers:

Nelly Hooper
Mark Spike Stent
Marius De Vries

So wow!! Can't wait to get to hear it!

It's been a while since his last single. Was it the 1980 Me song?

Yeah its about a year ago now that he released it, Crush 1980 Me it was called. Very 80's.

I hear that it is being said that the new music will bring Darren global recognition, sounds very exciting.He is a very talented songwriter with amazing voice.

Oh yeah, not my favourite song (that'd be Insatiable...mmmm!) but it's fun and the video was great, nice to see a pop singer not taking himself too seriously!

Yeah the whole Savage Garden thing was very reminiscent of the 80's. I always thought they sounded like a mix between Climie Fisher and Cutting Crew. Not that I'm complaining 'cos I like those groups and indeed Savage Garden very much also. Not too fond of his solo album, I thought it a little too slow and needed some more up-tempo stuff in it for my liking.

I loved the album but I can see what you mean about the tempo - my least fave tracks were a couple of the slow ones - and I couldn't believe when they released I Miss You as a single - pretty ballad and all, but in my own personal view one of the weakest tracks on Spin.

That said the album as a whole still rates among my favourites. The next one could be interesting!

I would have loved the title track Spin to have been released as a single The chorus was very upbeat and singalongable if you know what I mean.
The new music is sure gonna be interesting I can feel it.

Yeah me too it was a shame they never released Spin it was one of the strongest songs on the album.

I think that would have made a great choice for a single too. It's one of my favorite songs of "Spin" together with Like it or not and Good enough.

Oh yeah I love Spin too - and I was convinced it would be a single, was so disappointed when it wasn't! They should've asked us, eh? Lol!

Ooh I've got the tune going round in my heard now, I think I shall have to go and play it!

I wonder if there was a change of plan along the way because where an album title has a track of that name it is usually an important part of that album and is released as a single.
Anyway I love it all its the VOICE:cool

I was listening to CapitalFm last week too! It was so exiting hearing Darren's name on the air. I was shaking with exitement just hearing his name!! What a sad case I am
It's good with some early promotion though.. Let's hope it's not last of it!

xx

Has anyone else heard about this cover of an ELO song Darren's doing for some children's film? I think I have that right, anyway!

Anyone????
