I already knew the almost painfully exciting news that Darren Hayes has written a track for the Backstreet Boys’ new album, but I just read on the ace blog Arjan Writes that the song in question is Lift Me Up. As all true Darren fans will know, this is not in fact a brand new song but one that was first heard around the time of the Spin album. In fact, it has already been released by Olivia Newton John as long ago as 2002, as a duet with Darren. Click here for a clip.
I am a little disappointed that it’s not a brand new song that he’s given them, and as much as Lift Me Up is lovely I find it hard to imagine sung by the BSBs. It just won’t come together in my mind, but I guess we’ll have to buy the album and find out!
