June 19, 20169 yr Still no album news yet, but it looks to be soon as Delta has just announced a national tour entitled Wings of the Wild. DELTA Goodrem is embarking on her first major national tour since 2009. “I want to reconnect with the Australian public again, play all the songs they love, kick my shoes off, get on the piano, get on the guitar,” Goodrem said. “It feels like now is the right time. I’m in my element. Playing live is what I do best, it’s primal, it’s exciting and it’s heartfelt.” Goodrem’s Wings of the Wild tour will play Newcastle Entertainment Centre on October 27, Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney on October 28, Margaret Court Arena in Melbourne on November 3, Adelaide Entertainment Centre on November 5, Perth Arena on November 8 and Brisbane Convention Centre on November 11. Goodrem will shoehorn in as many hits as possible, as well as showcasing her as-yet-untitled fifth album which she promises is “on its way” before the tour. The title of the tour was inspired by her No. 1 Wings and lyrics from new song Feline. “This tour is what I’ve been thinking about as I’m falling asleep, I’m so excited,” she said. “This tour will be the one that celebrates all the chapters of my career. I want to capture the earthiness, a bit of sparkle and fantasy and show how I’ve evolved as an artist. “I want to make this the best show yet. I’ve been able to see so many concerts over the past few years, which has been really inspiring. It’s going to be familiar yet unpredictable. I can be quite spontaneous on stage. I love going to concerts where you’re reminded it’s live. I’m hoping people can choose some of the songs, I’m up for having a request moment. It’s time to move into the new chapter of live shows. I want to take people down memory lane but also inspire and empower them for their future.” Goodrem will also perform Memory, the show-stopping moment from her run in the musical Cats, in her new tour. “So many people who came to Cats said they’d been waiting 10 or 15 years to see me sing live. I can’t wait to sing Memory again, play all the songs that have meant something to people, the songs that have been a soundtrack of our lives over the past 15 years.” Tickets for the shows will go on sale from 2pm June 30 from Ticketek. Meanwhile Goodrem has praised The Voice for shining a light on Tourette syndrome. Goodrem is mentoring Melbourne teen Adam Ladell, who battles the condition daily — except when he’s singing. The Voice’s live shows are on a delay in case Ladell says anything unfit for the timeslot, however viewers have seen him uncontrollably exclaim “Delta’s hot!”. “’Delta’s hot’ has become a hashtag now,” Goodrem laughed. “Seeing the way Adam talks to people about Tourettes is so incredible and you see that people now understand him and his Tourettes better because they’ve seen him on the show. That warms my heart. I’m really proud of being part of a show that can have such a positive effect.” The singer is also looking forward to having two more Australian artists, The Veronicas, join the panel next Sunday when they fill in for the Maddens. “I can’t tell you how happy that makes me to have another two Aussies on the panel. I love those girls, I love the music they do. They’re so smart and talented, it’ll be great to have them up with us. They’re the real deal.” Telstra Thanks will do a presale for Goodrem’s tour starting at 10am on June 27, then My Ticketek members have a presale starting from 2pm June 29. http://www.news.com.au/entertainment/music...6a3b3e2367c66f6
June 20, 20169 yr I am so very tempted to get a ticket for Brisbane. If my pay gets sorted before tickets go on sale then i'm there.
June 20, 20169 yr Aww, would have loved a couple of UK dates, I reckon she'd manage to sell them out. At least the album is coming before October presumably then, so in the next four months!
June 23, 20169 yr OUT 1ST JULY! New single, Enough coming soon! https://www.periscope.tv/DeltaGoodrem/1MYGNBELvpVGw
June 23, 20169 yr Oh my god, what? :o the new album next week? Interesting that it won't be called Feline now. And that cover is...different.
June 23, 20169 yr This is Delta Goodrem in 2016 - with arguably the finest album of her career, WINGS OF THE WILD. When it comes to having hits, Delta is a force of nature. By now you have heard the singles, ‘Wings’ and ‘Dear Life’. To date, Goodrem has earned seventeen top ten singles, fourteen ARIA Awards, a Silver Logie Award, three World Music Awards and album sales in excess of 23 x platinum. In the last twelve months, ‘Wings’ hit #1 on the ARIA Charts and achieved platinum: Delta starred in Cats The Musical as Grizabella, and ‘Dear Life’ achieved Gold status. A multi-tasker, Delta also resumed her coaching duties on the #1 rating show, The Voice. Like all great writer/performers, portions of Delta Goodrem’s autobiography can be found in her set list. The well-spring of Delta’s best work stems from her ability to mix her writing with a dose of her own truth and a fine imagination. While she was writing new songs and recording, Delta was also curating a series of visual images in her countless scrapbooks, that informed the work that finally became, WINGS OF THE WILD. WINGS OF THE WILD features the hit singles, ‘Wings’ and ‘Dear Life’. Other highlights include ‘Feline’, ‘Just Call My Name’, ‘Heavy’, ‘The River’ and the new single, ‘Enough’ featuring Gizzle. Tracklisting: 1. Feline 2. Wings 3. Dear Life 4. Just Call 5. In The Name Of Love 6. Enough (feat. Gizzle) 7. Heavy 8. Only Human 9. The River 10. I’m Not Giving Up 11. Encore 12. Hold On 13. I Believe In A Thing Called Love http://www.sanity.com.au/products/1400824/Wings_Of_The_Wild
June 23, 20169 yr Ooh Only Human :o Gizzle is apparently a US rapper...different for Delta, hope the track is worthy of a guest rapper!
June 23, 20169 yr Oh my god. What. How. Oh my god. Yes. Just f***ing yes. Slay me delta. What an unexpected and very pleasant surprise. Shit better drag my ass on sanity and get pre-ordering!!
June 23, 20169 yr Is that a Darkness cover? :kink: Yes: http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/entertain...d872243ec2c8716
June 23, 20169 yr Not sure if Enough is an official single or just an instant grat so won't make a new topic just yet but I've listened to it here and it's very different for Delta. But it also feels like her most "international-sounding" song in a very long time and her vocals are insanely good! I'm impressed.
June 23, 20169 yr Author Enough is really quite unlike any other single she's put out so far, it sounds fantastic though, very fresh! My one criticism is that she's verging on being a feature on her own song but regardless, the raps compliment her voice well I think.
June 24, 20169 yr Enough has brought me back on board for this era *.* although Dear Life is growing on me.
June 24, 20169 yr I'd have been more surprised to see Heart Hypnotic make the album, seeing as it was thought of as chasing trends and is three years old now. I'm more shocked to see You and You Alone miss out!
June 24, 20169 yr Wow, Enough is a bit of an epic, the power and intent in Delta's delivery that reminds me of the Mistaken Identity album. And the intro/outro are gorgeous, very Believe Again <3 Also, Only Human has been re-recorded for the album version. Edited June 24, 20169 yr by gooddelta
June 24, 20169 yr Ooh has it? Is there much of a difference or can I get away with adding the single version to my copy of the album?
