Savage Garden's official YouTube account have been uploading several videos for the past couple of weeks, including live performances and the Australian versions of some of their videos. The Australian duo consisting of Darren Hayes and Daniel Jones, debuted in May 1996 with their single I Want You, but the album, Savage Garden, wouldn't come out until March 4 1997, selling more than 12 million copies worldwide and becoming #1 in Australia and New Zeland, #2 in the UK and #3 on the US Billboard 200. They released Affirmation in 1999, and this would be their last album, since they ultimately disbanded in 2001. Hayes continued with his career, releasing 4 solo albums until 2011. He then made a pause on his music career in favor of stand-up comedy, but in 2022 he came back with two new singles. Let's Try Being in Love was referred to as a queer anthem, with Darren explaining “I’ve been married to Richard Cullen for almost 17 years. I’m in this really comfortable place in my life. But at the same time at mid-life I’m grieving the fact I never got to celebrate who I really was at the period of my life where I was most famous. I look at this world we live in now where someone like Lil Nas X can push forward his true self, full of pride and self-love and have the chance to be loved for who he truly is. A lot of the time I was my most famous, I was deeply sad."
