Current mood:smug
Category: Music
I've been recording a secret side project album with my long term co writer and collaborator Robert Conley over the past 2 years. It was finished and mixed in December last year and just last week the album was mastered.
It's a band we call 'We Are Smug'. Robert and I share lead vocal and songwriting duties on everything, and up until this second, we haven't spoken a word of it to anyone outside of our circle of friends.
But today, on my birthday, we've decided it's release day and if you visit www.wearesmug.com you can download it for free.
This is not the direction of my next album, nor is 'free' the new price for my music. This is just something I am doing because I can.
While you're digesting this, I'm hard at work on songs for a brand new studio album for next year. It's a big 'fuck off' pop record. POP with a capital P if you will. You better have high expectations.
In the meantime, enjoy being Smug.
And Happy Birthday.

日前海斯去接受英國節目Soundtrack to My Life訪問,現場演唱Price的Thieves in the Temple、To the Moon and Back、瑪丹娜的Ray of Light、Annie Lennox的Why、On the Verge of Something Beautiful。
訪談內容從海斯童年說起,說到父親的酗酒與暴力傾向,一直到海斯十歲都過著貧苦的生活。至此音樂成了海斯的出口,真正的生命來自音樂,雖然買不起唱片,卻也能以歌唱模仿為樂。真正啟發海斯的是麥可傑克森與瑪丹娜,在看過他們的演唱會後,海斯決心要與他們做一樣的事情。
海斯正式的演唱生涯從成軍兩年的Red Edge樂團開始,拆夥後,他與其中成員Daniel Jones組成野人花園,因為只有兩個人,一切製作創作都得自己包辦,一直到第二張專輯推出,Jones退出,野人花園解散。因為和Jones一起成長,一起工作,海斯基於愛與支持,尊重這樣的決定。單飛後與帕華洛帝與瑪丹娜合作演出。
主持人問到,如果是自己的喪禮,該放什麼樣的音樂,海斯說那天一定要下雨,外燴難吃得食不下嚥,一切都不對,然後撥Annie Lennox的Why。關於愛情生活,海斯坦承,他內心的確是同性戀,不該與青梅竹馬的Colby Taylor結婚,導致雙方痛苦不堪,最後以離婚收場。但分開後,兩人成了知心好友,終結浪漫成為了紅粉知己。
已經在倫敦住了快要三年的海斯談到會到英國來純粹是因為偶然,因為個人第二張專輯The Tension and the Spark不受當時的唱片公司青睞,只有該集團的英國分公司工作人員不斷支持,再加上在這裡認識了Richard Cullen,是海斯目前共結連理的同志伴侶,當時的海斯並沒有因為事業下坡而失落,因為Richard填補了悲傷與不順。
節目以海斯的On the Verge of Something Beautiful做結。
