lol you are very positive.

i actually read it wrong. it is going to be on itunes. maybe at midnight or sometime tomorrow?

"Breathe In, Breathe Out" out is on itunes now.... have to wait till i get home to download. it is a bonus track

she said six brian songs... there are only two confirmed. the remainder have to be brian written songs. i guess You Will Only Break My Heart was cowritten by brian and that "Pray For Us" (Delta Goodrem/Brian McFadden) and "The World Slows Down" (Delta Goodrem/Brian McFadden/Benenate Bridget/Gerrard Matthew) are on the album? that leaves one song..

when i have time i can go through the confirmed tracks and see if brian cowrote any of them. if there are 6 confirmed for example, we would be able to eliminalte the songs that delta has recorded that have been cowritten by brian

Brave Face is this confirmed? says on wikipedia that it is. and i forgot to include fever!!!

CONFIRMED ALBUM TRACKS: In This Life (Delta Goodrem/Brian McFadden/Stuart Crichton/Tommy Lee James) Believe Again (Delta Goodrem/Brian McFadden/Stuart Crichton/Tommy Lee James) Woman The Guardian Possessionless (Delta Goodrem/Andrew Flampton/Stephen Kipner/Wayne Wilkins) You Will Only Break My Heart God Laughs (Andrew Framptom/Steve Kipner/Wayne Wilkins/Delta Goodrem) Fever (Delta Goodrem/Vince Pizzinga) Brave Face (Andrew Framptom/Steve Kipner/Wayne Wilkins/Delta Goodrem) CONFIRMED B-sides: Take Me Home Possible B-sides: Black Apple Confirmed as writer and performer (may be album tracks or b-sides...or none) "Breathe In, Breathe Out" (Delta Goodrem/Stuart Crichton/Tommy Lee James)[22] "Cruisin"' (Delta Goodrem/Vince Pizzinga)[22] "Don't Go Changing" (Delta Goodrem/Vince Pizzinga)[22] "Fever" (Delta Goodrem/Vince Pizzinga)[22] "Reaching Out" (Delta Goodrem/Stuart Crichton/James Tommy Lee)[22] "Sending An Angel" (Delta Goodrem/Vince Pizzinga)[22] "You Don't Know Me" (Delta Goodrem/John Bell/Tony Cvetkovski)[22] "Unsure" (Delta Goodrem/Brian McFadden/Stuart Crichton/Tommy Lee James)

Black Apple really does sound negative and dark. who could be the black apple? mark? paris? kerry? the media? her fathers misstress? hmmm.... and i doubt reaching out is on the album since it says she has two piano ballads that she did not write and these are the only two Woman and The Guardian. unless reaching out is not a piano ballad... the Woman and The Guardian sound like boring titles. i hope they are exciting tracks. delta didnt write lwy, i hope they are as well written as that song

this song must be really special to go back to be on the album, since it goes back to the MI days. it must be single worthy, why else would she have it on the album after all this time. really excited about this song is that quote the lyric or what delta said about it..

ahh dont have time to read. but i will!!

DELTA Goodrem's return to the pop world has been greeted with praise for her new, sexy look. "What, did I look hideous before?" Goodrem jokes. "I think I just look like an older version of what I was at 17. I guess I don't have short, spiky, dark hair any more. I was on steroids and had puffy skin and a lot of water retention. I was never going to look all that crash-hot after all the chemicals. I had a combover at 18. "No, it's a compliment. Maybe people are picking up on the fact I feel very comfortable in my skin, very relaxed." A re-energised Goodrem, 22, is preparing for the release of her third album, Delta. It's been three years since her last, Mistaken Identity. Goodrem deliberately took herself off the radar after weathering the public backlash that came after selling a million copies in Australia of her 2003 debut, Innocent Eyes. "I've seen a really horrible side of what I do," Goodrem says. "I've seen backlash happen. I've seen over-exposure, which makes an artist uncool. You can be a hero, then vilified within a day. But I've seen wonderful moments, too." Her time away was also what Goodrem calls a year of healing. She now looks back on 2004's Mistaken Identity as rushed -- written and recorded while she was still recovering from chemotherapy for Hodgkin's lymphoma. Part of the workload included filming a movie, Hating Alison Ashley. "I was completely nuts," she says in hindsight. "I'd burnt myself out. By the end of Mistaken Identity I thought, 'This is nothing of what I am. I know I can do all of this a lot better'. "I was over-exposed. I felt the Delta Goodrem out there wasn't who I am. I was stronger than that. I had more to say than that. I'm not a robot. I'm not mechanical. But I felt like I was being mechanical, going through the motions. "I have feelings. I felt like it wasn't me any more. I needed to go away and freshen up, to get excited about music again. I'd become stale. "You don't get into music for business, but there's so much business you need to talk about. I'm not a businesswoman. I'm a 22-year-old trying to make the best decisions I can." She's proud of Mistaken Identity, but understands it confused fans who'd been drawn to the positivity and pop thrills of Innocent Eyes. "I'm still proud of the album, but the timing was too fast," she says. "I hate the album title now. Mistaken Identity meant something totally different to the listener than how I was looking at it. I was too much in the bubble. "Mistaken Identity meant to me that I didn't know this person who was green (her hair had turned green during chemotherapy) and angry. Everything I'd known up to the age of 18 had changed. I needed to do a 360 to get back to where I am again. I needed to believe again. "If I had come back any earlier than now I wouldn't have been able to cope. I needed to embrace being in the public eye, putting music out there. I'm in an enjoyable place. "There are little storms, but I love it again, whereas on the last record I'd think, 'Oh, do I have to go and do this again?' Because I was mad. I was really angry . . . I needed to let everything heal. "I'd just had my dream come true. My first album had come out. I wanted to keep going, I didn't want anyone to stop me. I wanted to do the fun stuff, the performances. I missed out on doing them. "Then I met Brian. He brought a smile back to my face." Brian McFadden came into Goodrem's life when their record companies brought them together for the duet Almost Here. It became a No.1 hit and while promoting it they became a couple. McFadden was in the throes of splitting with wife Kerry Katona, mother of his two daughters. Goodrem was labelled a homewrecker by the UK papers that had feted Katona for years. McFADDEN and Goodrem have, for the most part, kept silent about the situation, apart from pointing out there was no overlap from one relationship ending and the other starting. More importantly, time has provided the strongest comment. They have been together almost three years, Goodrem's longest relationship. "I had to weather the storm," she says. "I knew it hadn't happened the way it had been portrayed. We had to hold on to what we had. We're a great team. We have a great relationship. We're really good for each other. We had to believe in ourselves and let the negativity pass. We'd say 'Time is a healer, we're stronger than this, we have to hold on'." Goodrem has been open about resenting McFadden's two young children, who regularly stay with their father. "I was a 20-year-old girl. I didn't know how to respond to someone I loved having kids," she says. "I was honest about it, I resented them. That's completely how I felt. I'm sure other people have gone through that. It can be a daunting process but I'm over it now." Goodrem says she acts as the girls' friend rather than a stepmother. "I'm 22," she says. "I'm not their mother. If they need me I'm their friend." McFadden has documented their relationship in the single Only a Woman Can, an Irish No.1 earlier this year. The lyrics -- "she changed my life, she cleaned me up, she found my heart" -- are a tender ode to his girlfriend. Though Goodrem is clearly loved up, she's quick to distance the love songs on Delta from McFadden, who co-wrote most of them. "I don't want to say anything is about one specific thing. It defeats the purpose of music sometimes; people get an image in their head." Doesn't she want to declare their love on a hit song? "I'm a lot more private than that," she says. "Of course I love Brian -- he's my best friend and we have a wonderful relationship. The songs are written from a great place. He's definitely taught me not to be so serious, to laugh at everything, to laugh everything off. "We brought what we both needed in our own personalities. We brought a lot to each other, in a good way." Goodrem is anxious for fans to connect with the lyrics. She even dumped the album's working title, Condition of a Heart, for the more straightforward Delta. "I don't want a complicated album," she says. "I want people to take this album home and wrap it around their own lives the way they did with Innocent Eyes. The songs are about personal experiences, but I don't want people to think 'Oh, that song is just about what Delta did'." However, one song -- God Laughs -- has Goodrem's DNA all over it. The lyrics detail in brutal honesty the end of her parents' marriage: "Mum was going crazy together to keep it, Dad's two lives, he was keeping it a secret, when we found out we couldn't believe it . . ." "Ah, there's not a lot of mystery there," Goodrem says cautiously. "The lyrics pretty much say what happened." The lyrics continue: "It's been hell if I had to be truthful . . . it leaves a lot of mess someone has to clean up. It happened here to the family I love." "I'd never want to hurt my family in public," Goodrem says of the song. "Obviously the lyrics say what they do, but I'm not going to exploit that. When things are thrown at me in life, I feel I'm meant to go through them to help other people, I really do. "A lot of people go through family break-ups, but most kids don't have an outlet for expressing they're feelings. "Everyone's moved on. My brother's in Adelaide, my dad's in Melbourne, my mum's in Sydney, I'm in London. I never knew my family would be in different places, but we are. I've learnt to accept that and move on. I'm lucky I had my family together for as long as I did." Goodrem may put on her happy face for the media in general, but she never forgets those who have crossed her. One breakfast-radio team made jokes about her cancer and suggested she was using her illness to sell records. She hasn't spoken to them since. Earlier this year she confronted a newspaper journalist who'd written negative articles about her, many during her battle with cancer. "I'm not neurotic like 'That person said something bad about me', but there's a respect factor," Goodrem says. "I hate dismissiveness or rudeness. We're all human. There's no need to be rude to someone. I don't mind anyone criticising my music, that's art, it's personal taste. Not everyone's going to like it, I understand that. But I'm also not scared of confronting people because I'm confident in my work. "I feel I've let go a lot of those things and gone 'whatever'. I needed to deal with the hurt you get when you're first burnt. I had tremendous support early on, but then I got burnt and those burns were deep. I had to let them heal. I had to confront those demons, but I also know there are so many bigger issues in the world to worry about. "It was all about letting go for me, letting go of the Innocent Eyes period, putting a full stop to that. I had issues about mortality. I had such a solid family. I had to let go of all that. "Music is like waves. Sometimes they're big waves, sometimes they're smaller waves, but as long as you keep surfing forever you're fine. "I don't know what I'm going to see in this next year or two, but I want to be able to handle it better." In This Life (Sony BMG) out Saturday. Delta out October 20

thanks for this, she looks hot

love this interview! info packed! WOOOT love it so excited. have to re-read later, im busy atm. with just a quick look it sounds awesome

BRIAN McFadden, who came to fame as a member of Irish boy band Westlife, has co-written six tracks on Delta. "I never knew he'd be so crucial to the album," Goodrem says. "I didn't want to write with him for the album, we never intended to do that. I'd written with other people, but nothing was making me excited, making me feel the magic." One song became the album's turning point. Believe Again was written with a seemingly unlikely team Goodrem calls The Elements -- herself, McFadden, dance producer Stuart Crichton (Kylie, Jamelia, Sugababes) and Nashville-based country writer Tommy Lee James. The epic song -- lush strings and Massive Attack-style dance beats with an uplifting anthemic chorus -- is like nothing Goodrem has made before . It is to her what Confide in Me was to Kylie and Frozen was to Madonna and is earmarked as the album's second single. "Sometimes you write songs and think, that's fine, that's OK," Goodrem says. "I didn't want fine. I wanted better than fine. I wanted to have a great album. "I've always had a really good ear for a great song that appeals to a lot of people. Nothing to do with my music, but I can hear a song and know it's going to be huge. I wanted to make sure I had something that special. "I didn't sit down and think that I needed to try to be contemporary, to be modern, that I needed to get this person. Believe Again was the one that turned the corner. It inspired the whole album." On one new song, You Will Only Break My Heart, Goodrem gets funky with reggae beats. "I think people want to hear something new," she says. "I hope people are ready for me to grow up. I can't do the cutesy thing any more. It's not where I'm at." Though her "signature" sound permeates the album, Goodrem struggled to write power ballads, which were once her forte. Only one piano ballad -- Black Apple -- came out. She found it too dark to fit on the album. She ended up out-sourcing two ballads -- Woman and The Guardian. "I wanted to have fun, be free-spirited," she says. "I didn't want to be serious. My life got so serious so fast. This chapter was about being young again. "I'd gone through something serious, it wasn't make-believe. I think some people couldn't relate to Mistaken Identity. You can't just put that album on while you're making the dinner. It's intense. You feel emotionally exhausted after it. It was absolutely about what was going on. I was emotionally exhausted. "I'm glad I got it out of my system. I expelled it. It was a case of 'Here's everything that went on', but I've done the intense thing now. I don't want to be intense any more. I just wanted to make great pop songs." One new track, Possessionless, reaches back to the Mistaken Identity period. It seems a simple love song about an early moment of intimacy, but it has a deeper meaning for Goodrem. "I'd never had those girl insecurities as a kid. Then I lost my hair, it went green, I had braces, I was on steroids. I thought about how when there's absolutely nothing else, you're possessionless. Would you love someone when they're bare naked like that? You have absolutely nothing, not even eyelashes. There's no facade, nothing to hide."

By Kathy McCabe and Jen Melocco September 13, 2007 12:00am http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b335/latefromparis/0565335800.jpg Former Neighbours star Delta Goodrem has morphed from girl-next-door to sassy songstress. And with her new single In This Life out this week, the newly crowned sex kitten hopes her assault on the charts will be equally dramatic. Click HERE to see Delta's remarkable transformation. DELTA Goodrem's newfound sex-kitten factor has Australia's fashion designers clamouring for a role in her remarkable transformation. Shedding her conservative image is paying off, with her comeback single In This Life set to return her to No. 1 in the national airplay chart this week. While Team Delta sources designers and outfits to complement her Brigitte Bardot look, they insist the 22-year-old is the mistress of her own makeover. The singer songwriter - a red carpet scene-stealer in recent weeks - took the reins from her mother Lea after moving to London to live with partner Brian McFadden two years ago. "I was really appreciative that everyone started to comment about me looking nice, but it wasn't like I was trying to make this big statement of, 'Look, I'm now an adult'," she said. "It wasn't, all of a sudden I did this big shift. It's not a planned image makeover where I sat down and figured out that I need to look exactly like this. "I had started to find my own style and I grew my hair back and I like being blonde, I enjoy it and it suits me. "It's a case of knowing when I feel more comfortable and I experimented over the past couple of years because I could do it without people watching me every time I walked out the door. "Trust me, I made some mistakes getting dressed in the morning." While fashion gave her a fun outlet through which to explore her coming of age, the divorce of her parents Lea and Denis after more than two decades of marriage was a painful reality check. Goodrem says her protected childhood did not prepare her for the emotional fallout and it was months before she could pour her feelings into God Laughs, on her third album. "Coming into reality was a huge shock. I was a very pure kid and I'm so thankful my parents kept that sense of innocence for me for as long as possible," she said. Delta is provoking a riot, whether wearing Josh Goot on the Dolly Teen Choice red carpet, Bowie Wong at the 30 Days Of Fashion event or Burberry in the video for In This Life.Sydney designer Bowie Wong's little black feathered dress stole the show at the fashion gala. "She was so memorable in that dress," Bowie said. "She's gone from being a 'fairy girl' to a rock chick Kate Moss type."

^ but it is the first week of airplay. thats very good. it will climb, and it will be number one first week on the aria charts. if released in uk or US there will have to be a second video as well. (release both)

its so sad. she must be in a real sad place. hope she gets out soon

i know they are talking about it but such big events want 100% performances. they only want big names that do actually perform. they wouldnt want this to happen again would they? and risk the quality of the event? maybe they will just get her to present awards at first and gradully get her use to the music scene again

i think it is a good name because by the sound of it it will be big in the US and will be here first album there (hence will be a simple easy name to remember...also dropping Goodrem.) i bet this name drop and self titled album were inspired by US record bosses.

typo by admin on the official site. meant to be september 15 and not august 15 :rolleyes:

will they want her? :(

it was horrid. had she have waited for a few weeks instead of rushing to 'open the show' she would have had it down pat. pitty, she is being slammed in the media. hope this does not effect her comeback...i fear it may

not true she is 'embarrassed' about it

"I am really proud of the collection of songs featured on my new album, they truly reflect who I am as a person and artist.
