 NEW YORK (Top40 Charts/ Powdered Sugar Records) - Released February 2nd 2009 on Powdered Sugar Records. Hayes commissioned two animators and almost 18 months of their time to create a collection of short animated and filmed music video pieces to accompany songs from his latest album. With music remixed and re-mastered in 5.1 surround sound Hayes describes the DVD as 'the way the album was always meant to be seen'. Buzz for the DVD has already begun with director Richard Cullen's video for 'Who would Have Thought' being short listed for a BIMA award (British Interactive Media Association) at this year's London ceremony on November 27 presented by Digital Arts Magazine. Cullen, who is Hayes' partner, has most recently worked on animated visuals for the George Michael's Stadium shows and the upcoming Keane arena tour. He began his career as a director of theatre and eventually lectured in film at Greenwich University before going on to creating visuals for music videos and concert tours. Director Damian Hale has had a long history of creating music videos and concert tours, most famously for U2 and Janet Jackson. Darren even directed one video himself, for the intensely personal 'Neverland'. The song, which touches Hayes' painful childhood experience of growing up with domestic violence was a true hands on affair. Darren made props, designed costumes and called the shots on the London set. The DVD marks the final release in support of Hayes' double Album 'This Delicate Thing We've Made' which he released on his label 'Powdered Sugar' in 2007. PRODUCTION CREDITS
