Darren's
'The Tension And The Spark' Debuts Top
Ten
Following his promo blitz of the
nation last week that
included
knockout album launches in Brisbane,
Melbourne and Sydney, Darren Hayes lit up
the
charts this week, with his new
album 'The Tension
And The Spark'
scoring a #8 debut in the ARIA
Top
50!
Following his week-long blitz of Australian
media
and TV last week, pop sensation
Darren Hayes
has rocketed
into the charts with his new studio
album
'The Tension And The Spark', scoring a
#8
debut in the ARIA Top 50!! Besides
appearances on Rove, The Footy Show
and
Channel [V], Darren whipped lucky
fans into
a frenzy with a series of secret
intimate performances
in Sydney,
Melbourne and Brisbane to launch
the
album, leaving punters floored and
little doubt that
Mr Hayes is one
of the finest pop singer/songwriters
this
country can lay claim to.
Currently on his way back to his temporary
homebase
of London where
he's gearing up for a series of UK
concert dates throughout October and
November,
Oz fans who
missed out on catching Darren perform
live
this time around can expect to see him
back
in the country early next year for
a full
national tour - we'll keep you
posted!!
And
some excellent news on Darren's next
single
- it's now confirmed that
'Darkness' will be the
second single
released from 'The Tension And
The Spark' and
the very worthy follow-up to the
electro-clash smash of 'Pop!ular', which
debuted
at #3 on the Oz charts. Expect to
see the single
in stores
everywhere late October with a
bevvy
of cool B-sides for your listening
pleasure!!
"Opener
'Darkness' lays bare the hints of
the
albums title - cold beats warmed
by Hayes'
voice and open
lyrics. If 'The Tension And The
Spark' is his
'Ray Of Light' (it is), 'Darkness'
is
his 'Frozen'." The Hearld Sun Hit, four
out
of five stars - 'The Tension And
The Spark'
'The
Tension And The Spark' out now
The
new single 'Darkness' out October
