** Extra Info Added (Friday Feb 27th) **

A note from Schooly to clarify what had been said:

"Will do that later for you.

Let Me just clarify something I said last night on the show which I think has been blown way out of proportion, i'd be really pleased if you could pop this on the message board or let the fans know.

The Album ' Which Is still untitled' Has been submitted to Sony, That is 100% Confirmed, 3 tracks have been heard by my spy, as i call her, but whether or not they make the album is a different matter.

the final track compilation is usually made at the end of the process b4 the cd is sent to be packaged.

I have no idea at the moment what the singles gonna be so I don't wanna say what its going to be, that lies with Sony and there executives.but I will have a copuple of titles for 2morrow nights show.

The thing I do wanna say is that the comments made on the show last night were those of someone who heard the tracks and are not how I descibed the ablum, but I can tell you that it will be another piece of Hayes Magic.

The album will be out this year, definatly, but no date has been scheduled, so as a safety net the 6 month rule comes in2 play, That way if it comes out earlier then brilliant. realisticly looking like may. fingers xed
before then.

please let the fans know that the album will be out earlier than that 6 months but as a rough guide i'll say that, coz u never know whatt may happen between now and then.

Spread the word.

More details 2morrow

Schools out." - Schooly (Capital FM London).

Australian Band to Release Song Written by Darren Hayes
Posted By lssilver on Monday, February 23 2004 at 4:14 PM

Australian band Human Nature will release the single 'When You Say You Love Me', a song originally written by Darren Hayes during the writing for his debut album Spin. This single is set for release on radio around March 8th and in stores from Monday April 5th.

"Human Nature heard the demo from record company Sony Music and decided to do their own demo version of it - they sent it to Darren who loved it and said it was theirs!" - Marc Mancini (AusMusicFan.com)

The song was also recently released on American Idol contestant Clay Aiken's debut album.

New Message from Darren ...
Posted By lssilver on Sunday, February 8 2004 at 12:05 PM

This is just a quick note to let you all know how much I love and appreciate your support and
most recently your enthusiasm about my new music. Believe me, I wish I could just put the
album out right now and get out on the road and sing it all for you.. but there are so many
other things to set in place before this baby is ready. Now that the album is done, the
behind the scenes team are busy putting together the plan of exactly how we're going to go
about presenting it to you. Just trust me that I'm so very proud of this record and that your
love and support means the world to me. I know eventually this wait will all be worth it.
So see you soon(ish!)

Big hugs and love always
your biggest fan
Darren Stanley Hayes

Site Updates

Darren Hayes Central is currently being updated. Although the design hasn't changed much it has been changed enough so that the site is visually more appealing as well as compatible with more browsers.

These updates will be gradually rolled out as I have time to do them.
