That Darren Hayes is one busy boy of late – not only readying the release of his new album ‘Secret Codes & Battleships’, but dropping more secret codes for a treasure hunt that will ultimately unlock parts of the upcoming LP. Then there are the video clips – not one, but two.
He’s releasing the sublime ‘Black Out The Sun’ over in the UK and has filmed a video for that, but here in Australia we’ve got a different single – and a new video to go with that.
Beyond that, there’s been the X Factor appearances and the upcoming tour and… well… we’re exhausted just thinking about it.
‘Bloodstained Heart’ is a stunner. Combining Darren’s effortless falsetto vocals with booming, epic splashes of instrumentation two and a half minutes in, it begs for attention.
It’s so good and so listenable that we’re left almost disappointed when the track ends. Epic is the word.
Australia's first stop for pop!
