DARREN HAYES RECORDS HIS OWN UNIQUE VERSION OF A TIM FINN CLASSIC FOR FINN BROTHERS TRIBUTE ALBUM 'HE WILL HAVE HIS WAY'

Darren Hayes has recorded his own unique interpretation of Tim Finn's extraordinary song 'Not Even Close' for a tribute album of artists covering the songs of Neil and Tim Finn titled 'He Will Have His Way' to be released in Australia on November 12.

He Will Have His Way: The Songs of Tim & Neil Finn brings together a diverse collective of talent from Australia and the Finn brothers’ homeland of New Zealand to honour and celebrate these songwriting greats. Musical legends such as Paul Kelly, Jimmy Barnes, Paul Dempsey, Darren Hayes, Chris Cheney, former members of Midnight Oil [in their new band The Break] and Empire Of The Sun’s Luke Steele [here fronting his original outfit, The Sleepy Jackson] share the stage with popular contemporaries and newcomers such as Sydney acts Boy & Bear, Art Vs Science, Philadelphia Grand Jury and Angus Stone [of Angus & Julia Stone]; Melbourne artists Dan Sultan and Oh Mercy; Queenslanders Busby Marou; and New Zealand’s Artisan Guns and Kody Nielson.

Making the Album Episode 7



The 7th in a series of (let's face it) amateur video blogs documenting the making of my 4th studio album to be released in 2011 (I'm aware I just changed the release date via a youtube video description. I'm slick.)

OH MY LORDY.. I can' t believe how much time has passed since my last blog. I can only hope that as I am in writing another blog to you all I have been sufficiently forgiven. So much has happened since the last one, most notably my new year's eve show in London (a video blog will address this soon I promise ;) - that I don't really know where to start.

The most notable thing is, I blogged and told the whole world I'd finished recording - and then more songs started coming in. Yikes. How does that happen? Most notably there were more songs with Phil Thornally and Mads Hauge (they've just had 3 number ones with Pixie Lott) and then I put things on hold to prepare for the New Year's Eve show.
