DELTA Goodrem’s first album in half a decade is just around the corner.
The Australian singer, 41, has opened up to The Sun about the project – admitting fans won’t have long to wait.
Chatting ahead of a surprise pop set in Camden, London with Australian chocolatey biscuit Tim Tam, Delta said: “I have finished the new album.
“When Eurovision came up I was in the studio already as it was naturally time to create the new album.
“I am doing a new video next week when I am back in Aus again for the next song.
“That will be straight out the gate and the new album will be there straight away.”
The record, her eighth, will be Delta’s first since 2021’s Bridge over Troubled Dreams.
During her north London set, Delta performed her Eurovision track Eclipse for the first time in the UK.
The Born To Try singer will represent Australia next month at this year’s contest in Vienna, Austria.
Previously speaking to The Sun, Delta admitted while she’s toyed with the idea of doing Eurovision for a few years, it wasn’t until she opened up about her dreams to Bizarre last May that things really started taking shape.
Delta said: “This is, literally verbatim, all your fault. It is all on you — Bizarre started this.
“Your article went back to the Aussies who were like, ‘Do you want to do this?’ So thank you. I have a big job to do.”
Delta will head to Vienna this May to compete with her song Eclipse and it ticks every box, with an infectiously camp chorus and a complex piano bridge.
A beaming Delta explained: “From your article, people started reaching out.
“Then one of the songwriters, Jonas Myrin, who I wrote the song with, took a screengrab of the article and sent it to me saying, ‘Delta, if you ever go to Eurovision, I want to write the song with you’.
“He’s in Sweden. Sure enough he flew to Australia when I said I was doing it.
“Even the first question I got asked when doing my first Australian interview was, ‘We heard it all started from an article from the UK,’ and yes, it did.”
It’s been three years since Australia last qualified for the live final, which adds to the pressure on Delta, who has sold eight million records worldwide.
Delta added: “Of course I am nervous, but it’s so joyous and I am so excited to be a part of it.”
