Delta in the US #3 - It's high time America got with the program!

Welcome to the US Delta Thread!



Delta's Official US Website | Delta's US Street Team

"Her story is fascinating. Her chart statistics are impressive. Her music’s even better. At just 23, Delta Goodrem is already one of Australia’s most successful and highest-selling female artists. Now Australia’s best kept secret is ready to be shared with the rest of the world: her first international album Delta is set for release in July 2008 on Decca."
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. - Delta
What Delta has done so far:
  • In March, Delta revealed to her fans that she had signed on with Mercury Records/Universal, saying "the time was right for me to go with a different label." Her new record label plans to launch a "series of intimate showcase events and select TV appearances for the spring with an eye for bigger things as the album develops this year...plans are to focus on her strengths as a songwriter, musician and live performer."
  • The "In This Life" digital single was released on April 15th. Being described as "effortlessly seducing radio with its life-affirming chorus and wall-to-wall melodic rush," ITL has debuted into the Top 50 Mediabase Hot-AC Chart, with growing popularity. Read Billboard’s glowing review of Delta’s first US single here!

  • Meanwhile, Delta has begun her promotional campaign across the US. We hear from Rich on April 11th that she’s been visiting radio stations, doing acoustic performances and promoting ITL all over California. To see Delta perform a selection of her songs at Texas radio station, click here!

  • The release date for Delta’s self-titled American album, as well as the track listing, is revealed as being July 15th. You can preorder Delta’s album right here on Amazon!



    Quote:
    AUSTRALIA'S ALL TIME TOP SELLING FEMALE VOCALIST 8 NUMBER ONE AUSTRALIAN SINGLES & 3.5 MILLON IN SCANS WORLDWIDE At twenty-two Delta Goodrem has already achieved success way beyond her years. Having released two CD's - Innocent Eyes (2003) and Mistaken Identity (2004) which spawned a quick succession of hit singles on the Australian and international charts (most notably topping the charts in the UK and Japan) Delta is now poised to match her international success in the US with the release of Delta. Delta is a collection of twelve 'songs' - in the truest sense of the word - dealing with life, love, and relationships, reflecting both her own life and those of the people around her. The music on Delta was made with the assistance of a world-class collection of producers that include John Shanks (Kelly Clarkson), Marius DeVries (Madonna, U2) and Steve Kipner's team (Christina Aguilera, Natasha Bedingfield) and noticeably showcases Delta's own work as a talented songwriter and performer. Delta is very proud of this new album and feels it's a great representation of where and who she is at the moment, "Everything in front of me is super-exciting, and I'm just looking forward to people hearing my music."

    Track Listing
    1. Believe Again
    2. In This Life
    3. Possessionless
    4. Born To Try
    5. Barehands
    6. God Laughs
    7. You Will Only Break My Heart
    8. Woman
    9. Brave Face
    10. I Can't Break It
    11. One Day
    12. Angels In The Room

  • April 19th, Delta performed a showcase in New York City for exclusive industry guests. According to Rich, "it was a great show, and we had some really strong, positive reactions from everyone there."

  • On April 22nd, Delta performed another showcase at the Henry Fonda Theatre in LA. Video footage of Delta singing “Believe Again” from a few lucky US Delta fans who managed to attend that showcase!

  • Delta sang for a ION Television Event in New York early May and it was announced that her music would be featured in the network’s fall season.

  • The American public has begun to take notice of Delta as she appears at various events such as the Hot List Party in NYC and does a performance for Billboard Magazine during the month of May (the video of this performance is here):

  • May 7th: Delta performed at the NARM Gala in San Fransisco in front of hundreds of label executives.

  • The Official US Video for “In This Life” was released on May 15th. Watch it here:
  • Delta is the cover girl for the 5th Anniversary issue of the American Vegas Magazine, link to the scans of their in depth feature on the lovely Delta. She also hosted the magazine's birthday event at the Palazzo Hotel in Las Vegas on June 21st:
  • June 8th: Delta performed at the Gay Pride Festival in LA with Olivia Newton John, here is a video of their duet "Right Here With You".

  • On June 9th-11th, Delta performed three concerts for audiences in various areas of Texas: Corpus Christi, McAllen and El Paso. To check out video footage from the McAllen concert, click here!

  • Delta has been doing numerous appearances at various events across the US including a visit to MTV's TRL Studios on June 17th, and a performance at the Heroes of Hope Gala on June 16th:

  • On June 25th & 26th, Delta did two shows in New York & Washington. The first was the Starry Night In The Garden event in Buffalo with Vanessa Carlton, Ferras and Anna Nalick, where Delta's performance was reviewed as one that "stole the show." Check concert footage as well as videos from the soundcheck here. The second event was a concert Riverfront Park's Lilac bowl in Spokane, videos of Delta's performances can be watched here.

  • July 10: As the date of Delta's album release gets closer, she's getting ready for the promotional buzz. Recently Delta stopped by an Arizona radio station to play a selection of her songs and do an interview, videos of this can be seen here. There is also TV promotion to look forward to in the coming week, including a performance on The View!

Delta is still busy working away and launching her music for a second time in the US. If her US Marketing Schedule is any indication, she's in for a busy year! But it seems as though America is already starting to fall in love with her:
"Now Australia's best kept secret is ready to be shared with the rest of the world!"ING

"Get ready America, this is one Aussie whose voice is as grand as her beauty."OK Magazine

"The album's first single, an inspirational pop track called "In This Life," should be a smash in the States, and hopefully we'll be seeing much more of Delta around here soon!"Seventeen Magazine

"The world knows Delta on a first-name basis. It's high time America got with the program." – Chuck Taylor, Billboard

Aww, thank you Evie! Glad you like it.

Great ITL icon by the way!

I think my favourite part of the video is when she's lying on the sand in that white outfit and the sand is turning into vines all around her at 2:22ish. When it music gets louder again, flowers start to bloom..thought that was a cool touch.

It is AMAZING, there is honestly not one bad thing i could say about it & that's the truth. I'ved watched it over & over again, it now has 101,220 views in just 2 days!

Thanks guys, I'm in the process of making icons [pretty much like the one I'm using] so I'll post them in the icons thread when I'm done.

Medine - nice to see you back again!

Chris - Now do you not like that bit 'cos Delta's not on screen, or for some other reason?

I forgot to say, I absolutely love this thumbnail you posted Kay:



She looks so cute, it's like she's saying "Hereeeee I aaaaam!!!"

Great to see you back around, Medine! The number of views the ITL video has already is pretty impressive.

Oooh, yay! We can always count on you for supplying us with wonderful Delta icons, Evie!

Aww, I know! I loved that as well.


ITL seems to be doing very well on the radio ~ this particular radio station has Delta listed as #1 on their top 10.

I noticed this ad on their website as well, I know Delta & Anna are doing that show in Buffalo on June 25th, do you think this means they'll be performing somewhere else on the 10th?

I wonder if Delta and Anna have met before, since they'll be doing two shows together..

This thread looks great! I'm so happy and excited for Delta. Who would have thought that timid girl in Neighbours who played Born to Try for the very first time would be lighting up America?

Just about all of us, I bet.
