great TRULY MADLY COMPLETELY review!



Chuck Taylor for BILLBOARD (USA)
So Beautiful
DARREN HAYES
Producer(s): Mark Endert, Darren Hayes
Label: Columbia (CD promo)

"Truly Madly Completely," an upcoming greatest-hits package from pop
duo Savage Garden, clearly indicates just how much U.S. top 40 radio
has deteriorated in the five-plus years since such indelible hits as
"I Want You" and "Truly Madly Deeply" permeated the airwaves. But
thankfully, lead Darren Hayes contributes to the collection "So
Beautiful," which shimmers with the same melodic savvy and
intelligent lyrical moxie that characterized earlier works. While
this track will likely be relegated to AC radio, what a treasure it
will be for a format lacking much individuality nowadays. Luxuriant
harmonies; the comforting, familiar vocal style; the handsome, loving
lyric . . . all exquisite. Wouldn't it be phenomenal if this opened a
new chapter here? We should be so lucky. —Chuck Taylor
