DARREN HAYES RECRUTED BY SIMON COWELL TO WRITE FOR WESTLIFE
Ex Savage Garden frontman and singer Darren Hayes has been writing for Westlife.
He has been recruited by Simon Cowell's record label Syco to write for its stable of artists of which Westlife is the biggest act.
Hayes is also working on a new solo album.
“I have been told I need to clarify my record is probably more `classic' pop than `pop with a capital p', for fear of people expecting (Lady) Gaga,'' Hayes stated.
His longtime musical partner Rob Conley recently went to London to write with Hayes.
Conley has teamed with ex Westlife member Brian McFadden for their new electro project Wall of Soundz.

Guy Joins Westies
15 Jul 2009
Pop sensations Westlife have been secretly recording with the songwriter and producer behind Robbie Williams' biggest hits.
The chart toppers - who went back to work last week after taking a year out - are thrilled to be working with Guy Chambers.
"They are determined to bring out a new album of original songs this time," said a source.
"They don't want to record any more covers so they were delighted that Guy agreed to work with them on a number of songs for the new album."

NO MORE COVERS

Stocking stuff... Westlife's Shane Filan is looking forward to the band's new album at Christmast. The singer has promised it won't contain a single cover version. Gulp...
WESTLIFE VOW LATEST ALBUM WILL BE 100% NEW MATERIAL
EXCLUSIVE by Paul Martin
Westlife have promised fans their new album will have no cover versions as they bid to launch the ultimate pop comeback.
The stars - who have topped the charts with their versions of songs such as Mandy, Uptown Girl and Against All Odds - have given the first insight into their new material to the Irish Daily Mirror.
Singer Shane Filan revealed: "The album will have no covers at all - we want it to be our strongest ever. We're working on it in the studios at the minute and it's really exciting. We took a decision that we didn't want to do any covers at all this time round and give the fans 100% new material.
"We know this has to be something special because we have been away for over a year. I think everyone is going to be really surprised when they hear it."
Westlife first released a cover in 1999 when their version of Abba's I Have A Dream scooped them the Christmas and new Millennium No.1 slot. In 2000, they teamed up with Mariah Carey to release a cover of Phill Collins' Against All Odds, which secured them a world wide No1.
A year later, their cover of Billy Joel's 1983 hit Uptown Girl secured them another top spot before they released a version of little-known Northern Ireland band Relish's Hey Whatever.
Barry Manilow's Mandy notched them up another hit in 2003 before their monster anthem You Raise Me Up also went to No1.
Shane added: "We always prefer to release new material but we never had the luxury of a Gary Barlow-type song writer.
"But we're lucky to be working with some amazing writers and I'm sure this album is going to bring us back with a band.
"We want great up-tempo songs and some really strong ballads. That's what we made our name with and that's what we want to do again.
"The plan is to release the album before Christmas and then hit the road for a tour next year."

This is the first time that they'll be working with this guys! Hopefully we can hear those songs VERY SOON!!
There are reports that they will be going to Nashville and LA (like their previous albums) this July as they start their recording process. Rumors of also to work with Desmond Child, JC Chasez
I'm totally excited now! I know this is coming. More news on upcoming days....
Fingers crossed for the upbeats, strong ballads and all originals.
because before on Face To Face era, they said that "Amazing" was said to be the decided first single of the album but all of a sudden when Simon introduced "You Raise Me Up" to them, it became the first single. At that time, Simon was correct. It made them back to the scene. But PLEASE NOT THIS TIME!!
