Darren Hayes, Insatiable (single)
|
|
Let's not mince words. Let's just say it how it is. Insatiable is, quite simply, one of the best tracks ever to come out of this country - and its filmclip is the most expensive! Savage Garden were one of the most successful bands ever to be produced in Australia and lead singer, Darren Hayes looks set to continue that success as a solo artist.
When you think Darren Hayes, think George Michael. George was once part of a cheesy pop duo that had huge U.S. success before splitting during their prime in the 80's. Darren has had exactly the same experience. Another obvious connection; both are singer songwriters of the highest calibre. George Michael went on to conquer the globe - and Darren will do the same with the right support. Darren Hayes sites influences such as U2, Madonna and Michael Jackson - but it is Jackson who has had the most obvious influence here. Darren's crotch grabbing stage antics were the first sign, but Insatiable takes the comparision into the studio. Along with his vocals on other tracks from his upcoming debut Spin, Insatiable's vocals are seemingly modelled on Michael Jackson's Dangerous (1991). Every grunt, every sigh. I'm expecting Darren to moonwalk when he performs it live! Just an awesome, upbeat ballad - and there'll be a second CD single full of remixes too! TVHITS.com.au rating: 5/5 |
