Darius
mykindaplace.com October 2004
Bad news, kids – Darius Danesh is no longer the vengeful, Britney-covering popster we came to know and love. Three years later, he’s all grown up now, and consequently comes forth with his sophomore effort “Live Twice,” and the catchy first single Kinda Love.
Tell us about Kinda Love
It’s a 60’s inspired, upbeat, feel-good, infectious pop-rock track that’s about the wonderful insecurities you feel when you’re in love. The album is dedicated to my Dad. He’s got cancer and hasn’t been well this year, but he’s still here, fighting…the album is about appreciating relationships in a different light. It draws into focus the positive stuff about being in love.
Most guys wouldn’t admit to feeling insecure…
With men, we have to aspire to the male ideal of being strong and dominant and not showing our feelings…being a pillar of strength. So often we feel insecure, and that normally is typified as a negative emotion. Actually it’s a wonderful feeling.
“This is the most intimate body of music I’ve written to date. It’s a reflection of me developing into a man.”
Did your dad’s illness make this album hard to write?
I didn’t think I was going to release the album this year, because of my father’s illness. I put my career on hold to be with him, and that coincided with a period of writer’s block.
I played the album to him and he said, ‘Darius, you can’t put your life on hold for me…I fight to see the achievements of my children.’
“So often we feel insecure, and that normally is typified as a negative emotion. Actually it’s a wonderful feeling.”
Do you feel a pressure to succeed?
This album, I’m releasing for personal reasons - I actually don’t feel any pressure.
Who do you most admire?
I love Alicia Keys, I think she’s very talented. Also Seal, George Michael, because they were so elemental in my upbringing. Christina Aguilera’s Stripped is an amazing album, I think it’s one of the defining pop albums of the decade. She’s created a very strong identity as a performer but ranges through a gamut of different genres…and so very elegantly.
Final words?
I’d rather have a slow-burning and rewarding career than be a flash in the pan…and this is the most intimate body of music I’ve written to date. It’s a reflection of me developing into a man.
