After tabulating more than 11 million in worldwide sales of its 1997 debut album, the Aussie pop duo known as Savage Garden has returned with its second record, "Affirmation."
The first single off the album is "I Knew I Loved You," and for the video, Savage Garden enlisted the aid of 17-year-old actress Kirsten Dunst, veteran of such films as "Interview With The Vampire," "Wag The Dog, " "Drop Dead Gorgeous," and the upcoming "The Crow: Salvation." MTV News recently caught up with Savage Garden singer Darren Hayes, who sounded a bit smitten at having worked with the prominent teen actress. "She was just wonderful," Hayes said of Dunst. In addition to the new Savage Garden album, Darren Hayes also appears on Rosie O'Donnell's charity record, "A Rosie Christmas," in which Hayes offers up a rendition of the George Michael song "Last Christmas."
