Savage Garden Grow Permanently Apart
10.05.2001 12:59 PM EDT
Darren Hayes and Daniel Jones, how does your garden grow?
Apart, it seems, insofar as the Australian pop duo Savage
Garden have called it quits after five years together.
Neither their label, Columbia Records, nor Hayes'
spokesperson would comment on the breakup. However, as Jones
told Reuters on Friday (October 5), "We achieved something
so great in a short period of time that we had to look for
something else. We've both had a lot of success together.
We'll probably have a lot of success independently in the
future."
While Jones plans a career outside of music, Hayes said he
has finished recording his debut solo record.
"Way back after the last tour, Daniel decided he wanted to
take a break from the band and I was forced into a big
vacation I didn't want to take," Hayes explained from the
set of the video for the all-star remake of "What's Going
On." "So I started writing songs with Rick Nowels [Dido,
Melanie C], Walter Afanasieff [Celine Dion, Mariah Carey]
and people like that."
He did not address Savage Garden's demise.
Hayes recorded his upcoming album, Spin, in San Francisco
during the past year.
"It's really cool. It's probably the thing I'm most proud
of, ever," he said. "It's a mixture of pop, R&B and
electronica. Savage Garden was always a collaboration. This
was me on my own, which was scary but cool because I could
muck around with electronica and things I couldn't do in
the band."
Spin's first single will be released in late November, with
the album to follow early next year. Hayes wouldn't reveal
the single's title but described the song as "very sexy" and
said his record company is negotiating with a noted director
to film its video in Australia.
Hayes wrote 35 new songs for the record, though only 13 made
the final cut. "The cool thing is, a lot of the ones I didn't
use will be B-sides, bonus tracks or stuff you can download
on the Internet," he said.
Savage Garden scored a #1 single in 1998 with the love song
"Truly Madly Deeply," from their eponymous 1997 debut. The
album sold nearly 5 million copies, according to SoundScan.
The guys' relationship may have severed years before they
officially called it quits as a band. Hayes left their native
Brisbane for New York as the band was riding high on the charts,
while Jones stayed behind to concentrate on music. Their second
album, 1999's Affirmation, sold more than 2.6 million copies
and yielded the group's second #1 single, "I Knew I Loved You."
Savage Garden went on hiatus late last year, claiming they
weren't breaking up.
