DARREN HAYES RECORDS HIS OWN UNIQUE VERSION OF A TIM FINN CLASSIC FOR FINN BROTHERS TRIBUTE ALBUM 'HE WILL HAVE HIS WAY'

Darren Hayes has recorded his own unique interpretation of Tim Finn's extraordinary song 'Not Even Close' for a tribute album of artists covering the songs of Neil and Tim Finn titled 'He Will Have His Way' to be released in Australia on November 12.

He Will Have His Way: The Songs of Tim & Neil Finn brings together a diverse collective of talent from Australia and the Finn brothers’ homeland of New Zealand to honour and celebrate these songwriting greats. Musical legends such as Paul Kelly, Jimmy Barnes, Paul Dempsey, Darren Hayes, Chris Cheney, former members of Midnight Oil [in their new band The Break] and Empire Of The Sun’s Luke Steele [here fronting his original outfit, The Sleepy Jackson] share the stage with popular contemporaries and newcomers such as Sydney acts Boy & Bear, Art Vs Science, Philadelphia Grand Jury and Angus Stone [of Angus & Julia Stone]; Melbourne artists Dan Sultan and Oh Mercy; Queenslanders Busby Marou; and New Zealand’s Artisan Guns and Kody Nielson.

Даррен записал видео в поддержку ЛГБТ молодежи, в надежде на светлое будущее.

В видео, в рамках проекта созданного обозревателем Дэном Сэвиджем (Dan Savage), Хэйс рассказывает о том, как ему было трудно подростком в школе, что он чувствовал и не желание посещать занятия.

MIXING HAS BEGUN!

Monday March 1.

It was the first day of spring today. At least that’s what I thought it was but apparently there’s a bit of a debate in the UK over which date is the official beginning of spring. Some say that it’s the 21st but the Meterological Office agrees with me and apparently so did the weather today. It was spring when I woke up to bright blue skies and shiny happy people in the park.. Such a contrast to the grimy day before where I typed to my sister on instant message ‘I’m so tired of winter. The paraphernalia and layers of clothing. Getting dressed and undressed is SUCH an ordeal!’

And lo and behold for this day at least winter went away.

Which was serendipitous considering today was the day I was meeting Robert Orton to mix the first two songs for my album.

For those who didn’t google it or see my links, here’s some info on Robert : he started as an engineer for the legendary producer Trevor Horn. His first big mix was the song ‘All the things she said’ for Tatu. Obviously that song became a monster number one around the world and he began a whole new career as the guy who mixes hit singles whilst still working side by side with Trevor Horn. Most recently he’s mixed 5 of Lady Ga Ga’s U.S number one singles and Robbie Williams’ ‘Reality Killed the Video Star’ album as well as worked with Pet Shop Boys and Keane. He’s a top guy and a true talent.
