“In This Life,” which was produced by John Shanks is Delta’s 8th No.1 hit in Australia. Delta said the song has “light and shade”. Not only can you sing along with it easily, Delta is able to belt it out as well. Delta hopes that ‘In This Life‘ has all the elements of a song that will will help her be introduced in the US Pop mainstream.

Welcome to America Delta!!

Delta Goodrem is an Australian Pop Star who in the age of 23 is one of her country’s successful and highest-selling female artists. Her debut album in 2003, Innocent Eyes sold over a million copies in Australia. It spent a record-breaking 29 weeks at No.1 in Australia, won the Highest Selling Album award at the Australian equivalent of the Grammys two years running and has now clocked up 4 million sales worldwide – including reaching No.2 in the UK.

Innocent Eyes established Goodrem as not just a musician but a songwriter. In 2006, Goodrem performed a self-penned song, “Together We Are One,” at the opening ceremony of the Commonwealth Games in front of a worldwide audience of 1.5 billion. The inspirational song surfaced on last year’s American Idol. Another song penned by Goodrem, “Days Go By,” was a No.1 hit this year by Norwegian Idol Glenn Lyse, while she also just collaborated on a song with hero Olivia Newton-John for her new cancer charity

“Olivia’s been a shining light for me,” Delta says. “She’s guided me, she’s continually given me great advice.” Another one of Goodrem’s songs, “Eyes on Me,” was selected by Celine Dion for her latest album Taking Chances.   “To hear ‘Eyes on Me’ sung by a woman I’ve looked up to all my life – that’s an amazing feeling,’’

Delta Goodrem’s US record, Delta was released on Decca on June is currently #17 on iTunes and #5 under the Pop Charts.

One of the songs from Delta is called “Possesionless“. It’s the most personal song she has on the album because she wrote it shortly after she won her battle with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. A cancer which stopped the height of her career in 2003. “Possesionless” tackles how her chemotherapy taught her valuable lessons in life. She maybe have lost her hair but it helped her rediscover herself.

“Hard times are universal. Good times are universal. I’ve learned how powerful music can be to people, how you just want to get lost in music. That’s a really special connection with people that isn’t disposable. I like the idea of starting in America with a clean slate – I’m looking forward to singing my heart out.”
