Okay, I have been SO slack updating since I moved house in March, I've totally lost my way and I am fighting so hard to get back on track. I've been in the midst of joblessness and totally stress trying to find a job in this damn recession. Seriously, Fuck the UK and it's job market. Finally got a job. Feeling a little relieved but also still this last month and a half of stress hasn't been able to be eased... Until, I finally got around to listening to Delta Goodrem's latest Album 'Child Of The Universe'. I have never ever liked Delta (Okay, I was a straight up sucker for the Tommy Trash Remix of 'Believe Again'... it was an amazing AMAZING track) and I really have never paid much attention to her until someone I went to school with ended up directing the video for 'Sitting On Top Of The World', he's a seriously talented guy named Guy Franklin, he's directed quite a few amazing videos for Guy Sebastian and Kimbra, check out Kimbra's 'Two Way Street' - my personal favourite. Anyway back to Delta.
First single 'SOTOTW' was fun, I don't think delta has ever really released an upbeat single apart from Believe Again.. but this was really a step in the right direction to remodel her image, the video was kinda awks, Delta really shouldn't dance and the full length skirt made her look like more a giraffe than i had first suspected. Second Single.. "Dancing With A Broken Heart" I actually almost spat my food out when I heard this, I was like.. omg.. Delta is a straight up DIVA, when the fuck did this happen?! It took me like 6 months to actually decide to download the album and give it a spin. I have actually been blown away with both the production and the tracks. In particular.. a certain track called 'No Communication'..
When I first heard it.. and the beat of those drums came in.. the sweeping subtle synths, the piano (of course, what delta song would be complete without piano).. the kick that comes in as she begins, the build to the chorus.. then explosion of the chorus.. Oh my sweet lord. It's nothing short of perfection.. and has completely soothed my soul. I actually have been made a believe in this lady.. And not to mention I have actually grown to love watching her on The Voice AU.. 'No Communication' SHOULD have been released as a single.. I'm actually super upset that only 3 official singles were released, because there is so many potential single on the album it's actually not even funny.
Delta Goodrem has recently been signed with US manager Irving Azoff and there are plans to refocus on the album after Season 2 of The Voice has concluded.. so Watch out America and UK... The Reign of Delta (Guilty Pleasures) Goodrem is about to begin..
Check 'No Communication' Below and also if you like it jump on iTunes and download it.. While you're at it.. get the whole album, you will not be disappointed
8.5/10
