Hayes'
Life After Savage Garden
(Rolling Stone , November 16 2001)
Look for a new album from SAVAGE GARDEN
singer DARREN HAYES to be the first solo project since the Australian pop duo's recent
split. The album, SPIN is due in early spring; the first single, "Insatiable,"
hits radio in December."It's a much more spohisticated and lush version of everything
I've done before," says Hayes, who cites the electronic flavor of recetn MADONNA and
BJORK albums as inspirations. "It's a very romantic record, a very
sexy(oOoOo)record," he says."And it's more personal.This is the music I hear in
my head." Savage Garden producer WALTER AFANASIEFF returns to the boards, but Hayes
is no longer aiming to fit the dance-pop image of his former band. "I felt like I had
painted myself into a bit of a corner," he says. "I have no idea if the new
album will sell,but, for me personally, it's an album that I've wanted to make since I've
been making records
