“Talk, Talk, Talk,” the first single from Darren Hayes’ upcoming album, Secret Codes and Battleships is available now via iTunes.
Away from the spotlight for 4 years, Darren has emerged with a new sound. The first taste of which is the single co-written with and produced by Carl Falk in Sweden, mixed by Robert Orton in London, and mastered by Bob Ludwig in Vermont. A song that Darren describes as “peace talks between two lovers at war,” “Talk Talk Talk” is a slice of glorious synth-laden modern pop with swirling live strings and heartfelt lyrics.
The single also features a b-side, Darren’s cover version of the classic Madonna song “Angel.” In addition to the digital release, Darren has also produced a limited edition of 1000 hand numbered purple vinyl 7-inch singles in a beautifully designed laser cut cardboard sleeve designed by album artwork artist John Gilsenan. The 7-inch features a vinyl only acoustic version of “Talk Talk Talk (Live in the Attic)” recorded in Darren’s home studio specifically for the vinyl only release. This 7-inch single will be released exclusively via DarrenHayes.com on July 31. It will be available for pre-order to Delicacy Members on July 1 and the general public on July 3.
