Mistakes – Single Cover

Brian McFadden’s new song Mistakes featuring real-time fiance Delta Goodrem may be all over radio this week, but don’t expect another collab any time soon.

Speaking exclusively with TMN, McFadden admits there’s little chance of collaboration given the separate musical paths the lovers-in-life are pursuing.

“We’ve tried to write some songs, but we’re clashing a bit more because our headspaces musically have gone in two different directions.”

Although McFadden contributed a fistful of songwriting credits to the 2007 Delta album, Mistakes is the pair’s first official single release since Almost Here, a #1 hit on the ARIA Singles chart in 2005.

“At the time of doing Delta and my last record Set in Stone, we were both close in our headspace of music,” says McFadden. “But I’ve gone completely for a synthetic, electro sound. Whereas she’s going back to her roots again. She’s gone more piano-oriented, which is almost ‘anti’ what’s happening at the moment in the industry.”

Mistakes is the third single from McFadden’s Top 30-charting album Wall Of Soundz, but it was initially intended as a solo track. That all changed on Goodrem’s suggestion that a female vocal would send the song into orbit.

“She came in and did a vocal and everyone just went crazy for it,” the former Westlife singer recalls. “Ironically,” he points out, “it’s a break-up song. It’s not even a love song. It’s a four-on-the-floor break-up song.”

With a #1 single to its credit (Just Say So), McFadden’s third solo album will be repackaged with bonus tracks for the Australian market, and will enjoy a staggered international roll-out through Universal Music Group later this year.

DELTA Goodrem has just thrown a glass of red wine in a fit of rage. The target the forehead of her fiance, Brian McFadden. Her aim is spot on.

A bleeding McFadden is eyeing off a chainsaw with a destructive glint in his eyes.

He’s swearing at her, she’s yelling at him. Then the director says “cut”.

The loved-up pair are playing combative lovers in the video for their duet Mistakes.

Loosely based on Brangelina’s Mr and Mrs Smith, the clip starts with a romantic dinner that triggers an explosive domestic dispute.

The pair may have the occasional argument, but this fictitious one is turbo-nuclear.

On set in Sydney last week, director Dan Reisinger is yelling obscenities at Goodrem to get her in the (war) zone for the fiery feud.

“It’s not every day Australia’s sweetheart gets called a f—-g b—-,”Reisinger laughs.

“I had to get her motivated.”

“The first word I said after ‘cut’ was sorry . . . before re-loading and letting her have it again.”

While Goodrem taps into her Logie-winning Neighbours days for angst-on-cue (“Brian’s like ‘I don’t want to offend you’ I’m going, ‘Come on!”‘), McFadden struggles to abuse his partner of six years.

“The happy bits are easy,” McFadden says, “trying to get each other riled up is hard.”

IT’S Delta Goodrem and Brian McFadden – now with added chainsaw.

The musical couple play dysfunctional, destructive lovers in the video for their new duet Mistakes, a song about a failed relationship.

“The song isn’t romantic, so neither is the video,” Goodrem said on set in Sydney yesterday.

“Privately we’re romantic people and we’re very much in love but we don’t feel the need to express that in public.

“We like the idea of playing. It’s meant to be fun and angry, like the lyrics.”

Loosely based on the Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie movie Mr And Mrs Smith, the video has Goodrem put McFadden’s watch in a blender and smash up his gold records.

McFadden retaliates by slashing her handbags and taking a chainsaw to her piano.

“Apparently the piano was in the graveyard and about to be destroyed anyway,” he said.

“No real pianos were harmed in the making of this video.”

The video will hit TV screens later this month. The song is from McFadden’s current album Wall Of Soundz.”

Mistakes – Music Video Promos

HIT-maker Delta Goodrem has turned a page in her life and is creating a “stripped back, earthy” sound for her new record.

Goodrem, who was in Melbourne on Thursday night performing at fashion label Forever New’s spring collection launch, said she felt inspired and refreshed and was busy recording her fourth album in the US.

“It is strange, turning 25 was like starting a new chapter for me,” Goodrem said.

“I am in the most creative head space I have been in for such a long time.”

Goodrem, who is engaged to singer Brian McFadden, said she hoped the album would be ready next year.

Goodrem, who has set up home in LA, will be in Australia for a fortnight.

Powderfinger, Hilltop Hoods, Angus & Julia Stone and Crowded House were among the fourteen Australian acts honoured this afternoon at ARIA’s #1 Chart Awards.

Artists, industry and media gathered at the Sydney Opera House function as ARIA honoured each artist who’d scored a #1 single, album or music DVD in the period from May 1, 2009 to July 19, 2010.

The event also presented two special end of the decade awards to Delta Goodrem and Guy Sebastian. Goodrem took out the accolade for highest-selling album for her debut Innocent Eyes, which has now gone 14 times platinum, while Sebastian scored the decade’s highest-selling single with his Idol anthem Angels Brought Me Here.

Hosted by Video Hits/Nova Melbourne host Dylan Lewis, the event featured keynote speeches from the ARIA Chart chairman John Parker and ARIA Chairman Ed St John.

St John told the crowd: “There are many measures of success in our industry – great reviews, sold-out shows, multiple hits on YouTube or MySpace. But there is still one measure that outshines all others, and that’s the act of climbing to the very top of the sales charts. Nothing else signals popularity like a Number One and it’s so exciting to see so many local artists ascending to these heady heights over the past year.”

In terms of labels, Universal scooped the pool this year with eight of the 14 awards, followed by three to Sony and one apiece to EMI, MGM and Warner.

The 14 artists who received an ARIA #1 Chart Award today (in chronological order) were:

Delta Goodrem – Believe Again Tour DVD (Sony Music)
#1 – September 28, 2009
