I’ve uploaded the new cover for Delta & Brian’s new single ‘Mistakes’! Check it out the gallery! Looks great!

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.”

Reisinger, director of McFadden’s last two videos, closed the set after a string of failed takes.

“They are such private people when it comes to their relationship, which is why it is so successful,” Reisinger says.

“Brian was reluctant to hurt Delta’s feelings, particularly in front of strangers on set. She kept trying to reassure him it was just acting, but he couldn’ t bring himself to insult her where it hurts, a thing anyone’s partner knows better than anyone else.”

The words hurt, but McFadden is at ease with the string of button-pushing stunts.

Goodrem makes a digital smoothie when she throws his watch in a blender and smashes one of his platinum discs.

She uses the disc to slice his guitar (James Bond fan Reisinger’s nod to villian Oddjob) while he retaliates by using the chainsaw to turn Goodrem’s piano into firewood.

“Delta was genuinely traumatised by us doing that,” Reisinger says. “It was like us chainsawing the family pet.”

Goodrem, worried about instrument karma, admits it was like “a horror movie”.

“I feel physically sick,” she says. “When we finished the treatment the biggest issue I had with the whole video is the chainsawing of the piano.”

McFadden researched the lineage of the doomed instrument.

“There’ll be a lot of people -ed off we ruined a piano, but apparently the piano was in the graveyard and about to be destroyed anyway,” he says. “No real pianos were harmed in the making of this video.”

The duet, like their previous collaboration Almost Here, is anything but a love song.

“We don’t feel the need to express that in public,” Goodrem says.

“Privately we’re very romantic and very much in love.”

McFadden, meanwhile, is seeing how long it takes to microwave Goodrem’s teddy bear until it blows up a brand new Freedom kitchen.

“Everyone has their arguments,”he says. “This is the biggest one we’ll ever have! HEAR Mistakes (Universal) out September 17.

St Andrews Hospital Fundraiser – August 10

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.”

[Scans] Woman’s Day – August 2

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.
