The lead single off his new album called "Secret Codes & Battleships". Video premiered now:
Good song, and a cool video too. Can't wait to hear the album. :)

Finally!! I love the song and the video! The song is just so pretty and nice. Really catchy and so radio-friendly. Too bad it won't get released in the U.S. properly. :( It sounds almost custom-made for Adult Contemporary. The video is really stunning. Darren looks a little bit like Enrique Iglesias in many parts of the video (especially the hair). The B-side for the single is a cover of Madonna's "Angel."

Love it so much. His last two albums were both masterpieces.

Love it so much. His last two albums were both masterpieces. And yet, I continue to go back to his first solo album "Spin" the most. It must be because of Walter Afansieff's presence there. (I also prefer early-Mariah over later-Mariah) I look forward to checking this out!

I absolutely love both The Tension and the Spark and This Delicate Thing We've Made ... this sounds great, if a little 'Get Together' (Madonna) initially, but once the chorus gets going he comes into his own. I'm very rarely one for an underdog, but I love him.

I became a huge fan with TTATS and only like a few songs from all of the albums before it (including Savage Garden).

I wonder if this will even do anything commercially. As much as I love it, it doesn't sound like a mainstream hit.

I think he looks more like a super skinny, gay version of David Cook than Enrique. I could see this remixing well.

The remixes are pretty good. The 7th Heaven and Club Junkies ones sound like a faster, clubbier version of the original. Fred Falke's is a little more electro-pop. Penguin Prison's sounds like it's straight out of the 80's. And the Hall & Oates one (which I have only heard a 30 second clip of) is a mashup with their song "Out Of Touch."
