Spin

Spin is the first solo album released by former Savage Garden member Darren Hayes. The album was produced by Walter Afanasieff and mixed by Chris Lord-Alge. It was released in Australia in March 2002 and reached the rest of the world later that year. Background Hayes, continuing the trend from his years as Savage Garden's frontman, addresses romance on almost every track on the album. Walter Afanasieff, who had already worked on Savage Garden's Affirmation, oversaw the production of the majority of the album, with help from co-producers Greg Bieck, Rick Nowels and Robert Conley. Afanasieff produced five of the twelve tracks on the original release: "Insatiable", "Heart Attack", "Dirty", "Good Enough" and the title track, "Spin"; Bieck produced "Strange Relationship" and "I Miss You"; Nowels produced "Creepin' Up on You", "I Can't Ever Get Enough of You", "Like It or Not" and "What You Like"; and Conley solely produced the track "Crush (1980 Me)". Afanasieff also produced the Australian-release bonus track, "The Heart Wants What It Wants", and the UK collector's edition bonus tracks, "I Wish U Heaven" and "Can't Help Falling in Love". As of 2006, the album sold 118,000 units in the United States.
