"You'll love this cd. Crush is very up beat and reminds me of I Want You. The duet with Elisa is great and really shows what Darren is capable of doing, musically.
So if you're a product of the 80's and have enjoyed other Darren Hayes' masterpieces, you'll definately want this!"

"In Crush, Darren takes us back to a time filled with childhood memories. Being an 80's child, I found myself completely charmed by this song. Not only does he sound just as amazing as always, he's especially playful here. Mentioning 'E.T.' and ''wishng he was his friend'' was just one of the highlights. In this single, It starts with the Album Version, which includes a great synthisized sound. The lyrics flow along like a breeze.You expierence Darren's excitemenet & joyfulness. It's as if he has let us all viset a few of his fondest memories. The Mayday ''Disco Buiscuit''Mix instantly speeds things up without loosing the feel of the song.With the tempo raised, you can't help but want to sing along .The biggest suprise comes next with The Strange Relationship F'Mix. While the upbeat tempo remains, This song has a feel all of it's own. This is an excellent remix. The original sound of the song clearly remains, while the interesting mix of guitars and horns with Darren's voice combine to make the song even more entertaining. As an especially added treat,there is an Acoustic Version of Insatiable, ( Live In The Capital Radio Living Room). I love this song to beigin with, and to hear it with only the beautiful, angelic sound of Darren's voice is nothing short of a heavenly expierence! If your a fan you will be amazed!"

Ooo....I just can't get enough of his stuff! 1980 ME!

"I totally dig this track, but it gets pretty tired if you listen to it all the time. I'm not crazy about the two remixes in this import (probably cuz I'm so fond of the original album versions). However, his DUET with Elisa Fiorillo in "Right Dead Back On It" rocks! We all felt that he should have included this in his album "Spin". Catchy lyrics and fun to dance to! And finally, the acoustic version of "Insatiable" almost brought me to tears. His voice is so compelling and I admire the influence of Kate Bush's "This Woman's Work" sung towards the beginning and end.
I received this CD through an Aussie mate and I was excited to hear that he released "Crush" in Australia. I actually choreographed a dance number to "Crush (1980 Me)" and when the single came, I had my dancers sign it! If you ever experienced Pop culture in the 80's, you'll dig this song as well."
