I must admit, when Delta Goodrem released her single “Solid Gold” last month I was in like, but I wasn’t in love. I appreciated the message of empowerment and the chorus was certainly catchy, but it didn’t quite give me the feels I was hoping for. However, now that Delta has released her acoustic remix, I am firmly on board.
There’s something about an acoustic take that can help you get to the essence of the song. The lyrics really shine through without the production stealing focus. I also hear a little more of the Fleetwood Mac influence mentioned in the press release now that it’s back to basics.
“At the very core, ‘Solid Gold’ is an uplifting and empowering message reminding someone who has taken you for granted of your worth and strength; “I’m gonna take your bad heart” and remind them “what you had was always solid gold,” Delta explained.
“Solid Gold” is the latest track from Delta’s forthcoming sixth studio album, which she says contains some of her most personal songs yet.
