Biography

Darren was the singer in Australian pop duo Savage Garden. He was the writer and singer of the kind of evergreen worldwide smash hits that will be played as long as AC has a spot on the radio’s dial. They were neither fashionable nor critically feted, but Savage Garden was an enormously popular operation. From the four albums that he has crafted so far – two with Savage Garden, two solo – Darren… Read more in Amazon's Darren Hayes Store

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Former Savage Garden-er Darren Hayes's long-awaited solo debut proves that light pop music can taste mighty good. The swoon-inspiring Aussie singer's love for the Smokey Robinson- and Michael Jackson-era Motown sound shines throughout Spin, though Hayes adds a slightly salty edge to the shiny, happy proceedings. The lightweight arrangements are mostly synth based, with cursory nods to au courant trends. "Insatiable" is bolstered by a slight Latin groove; "Crush (1980 Me)" recalls the Human League's sassy, computer bop; "Heart Attack" vividly recalls the aforementioned Jackson. The wistful ballads "I Miss You" and "Good Enough" are as fizzy as root beer floats. --Rebecca Levine

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Have!, March 20, 2002
By J. Martin "ffej26" (Woodside, NY) - See all my reviews
This is an incredible album that was so much better than I expected. Darren Hayes has one of the most distinctive voices in music today, and has proven himself as a solo artist. All the songs are wonderfully sung and has some very original lyrics. The best track is Crush(1980 me). A funky uptempo ode to the 80's. Dirty and Creepin Up On You are also great uptempo tracks reminiscent of early Savage Garden hits. Then there are the classic ballads. Insatiable, I Miss You, and Like it or Not, all beautifully sung with Darrens signature falsetto and very heartfelt lyrics. This is a wonderful album. One that you can listen to over and over again and not get sick of it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Kickass, Addictive, and Hot..., March 19, 2002
By "fullmanator" (Oakland Park, FL United States) - See all my reviews
With chart-topping hits such as "Truly, Madly, Deeply," "I Want You," and "I Knew I Loved You," from the internationally-known Savage Garden, Darren Hayes embarks on his solo career with a BANG!

Starting at the top, "Strange Relationship" offers a dated-sounding smooth groove, already making your ears ask for more.

"Insatiable," his first single, shows his writing talent and range of vocals, as well as providing a great love song.

"Heart Attack" is the first of many danceable songs that sounds somewhat reminiscent of Michael Jackson's recent work.

"I Miss You" is one of his few Savage Garden-sounding songs that is a mellow hit that is easy to love.

"Creepin' Up On You" is another dated-sounding songs featuring a nice arrangement of strings, as well as a kickass beat to dance to.

"Dirty" is another MJ-type song, but Darren adds his signature bang to it with the harmony and chorus.

"Crush (1980 ME)" is a perfect example of how good you could take an 80's sounding song and add today's technology to it. His vocal layering and dance beat makes this song unique and awesome.

"Good Enough" is another slow groove, which gives a slow break to the dance, yet keeps up the mood, preparing you for...

"I Can't Ever Get Enough," a song that might send Enrique for a spin, as the Spanish-style guitar accents this song perfectly.

"Like It or Not" is a similar song as that above, very Savage Garden sounding, perfect in every way.

"What You Like" picks the tempo back up with a kick, with techno signatures weaving throughout the song.

Finally, "Spin," the title track is probably my favorite song over all. This song features some of his best harmony that will put Nsync's (perhaps) only talent to a big big shame. He layers the sounds with his voice, and it pays off.

Overall, I would strongly recommend this CD, as I am enjoying it greatly. My sister which (sadly) hated Savage Garden loves this CD as well.

Darren Hayes is here, and hopefully here for a good while.

5.0 out of 5 stars Be careful...He's dangerously charming, November 19, 2002
Ive never been a Savage Garden fan. Ive had two their albums though and loved some songs very much (To The Moon And Back, Truly Madly Deeply, I Want You and almost everything from Affirmation) but they were not my only fav. in the music. I didnt like Darrens dark and a little feminine image.
Something amazing has happened with Darren Hayes debut CD. I didnt know about SG split, about this scandal change of Darrens hair color, I only knew that I cant get enough of Insatiable since the first time I have heard it on the radio. This song became a great hit in Russia, you could hear it on every radio stations for every hour. Then I bought an album and I fell in love with it from the first sound of Strange Relationship. Its 7 months since that, but Spin is still my favorite album ever. I joined the great army of Darren Hayes fans (welcome to darrenhayes.ru and hayesteam.narod.ru). I was at both of his concerts in Moscow and St. Petersburg and extremely impressed by singers strong, pure, wide-ranged voice. You can dislike the music but you cant deny Darrens talent as a singer and entertainer.
Savage Garden was a combination of two great gifts  music of Daniel and vocals and lyrics of Darren.
With Spin, the leading and the best part is Darrens incredible voice and his melodies. As to the music, its still in evolution (love this pop mixture of 80-90th but thats not his completed style). The lyric is very poetic even though its not as soulful as in Affirmation. (Is it clear that I became a crazy fan of Savage Garden too?) The title track is the best example of lyric, it reminds deep and sincere lyric of Affirmation and Animal Song . Either I would recommend you to read Where You Wanted To Be as the other best lyric but this song is a B-side.
This CD is great anyway. I love all the songs but at the moment my fav areummWhat You Like, Like It Or Not, Spin. Some songs are very intimate and passionate, others are for party and having fun.
Looking forward to the next album!!!
P.S. Girls, be very careful! Now Darren looks so charmingly so you can lose your heart (but he does not at the albums cover though, Id prefer I Miss You UK single cover).
