Each time I hear Darren Hayes has a new album, I get really excited, as I did when he launched his fourth solo studio album, Secret Codes and Battleships.
It’s been out since October 2011 but this is definately an album that everyone must have for 2011/2012.
Darren Hayes has presented an assortment of superbly written and melodically immaculate songs, all with that unmistakable voice that beams through the speakers with crystal clear precision.
Nothing pleases me more then having Secret Codes & Battleships playing, whether it’s driving, running, working out, having a dinner party or just simply wanting to sing my heart out!
There are many stand out tracks on this album, Bloodstained Heart and Taken By The Sea are my two special mentions, but also Good Walking Into The Room, Talk Talk Talk and Stupid Mistake are also incredible tracks.
Below is the Bloodstained Heart video – it’s so gorgeous…
Darren has impeccable attention to detail, producing a decadent and emotive album – one of which every household needs to have playing at some stage through the Christmas break.
