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.

Who – August 30

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.”

Mistakes & Almost Here

Not Now & Billionaire

ONLY weeks ago, the rumour mill was in overdrive with whispers that Delta Goodrem’s relationship with boyfriend Brian McFadden was on the rocks.

But the songbird has confirmed the pair are fine, confirming she still wants to marry her longtime beau.

Goodrem, who recently flew back to Australia from London for the funeral of a close friend, has told New Idea she will still settle down with the former Westlife band member, but not just yet.

“It will happen one day, when everything is in place and the timing’s ideal,” Goodrem said.

But it’s been a bumpy ride for the pair, who started dating in 2004 after a music collaboration on the song Almost Here.

Before the rumours of tensions were the persistent claims that the couple hooked up before McFadden was officially separated from former wife Kerry Katona – a fact both McFadden and Goodrem have denied.

And it looks like it’s not just her love life that’s on the way up for the Born to Try singer, with all that work trying to crack the US music market looking like it’s paying off.

While her hopes for Stateside chart success have stalled, the songbird’s most successful song of last year, In This Life, was used for the So You Think You Can Dance America finale on Friday night.

The show, which had an average audience of 9.33 million – just in the States – is a huge exposure boost for the Aussie star, who is back working on her songwriting for her next album.
