I was delighted to hear Delta Goodrem back on radio today with her new single “Sitting on Top of the World.” With a bit of a song drought and her relocation to the United States, she sort of dropped off my radar. It’s so great to have her back!
I’m also thrilled this song is so upbeat and optimistic. While I love Delta’s gut-wrenching ballads, we really were saturated with them. This song is a perfect slice of pop, with a positive message and killer vocals, naturally. It’s no surprise that it’s so good though, as Delta worked with Grammy Award winning producer John Shanks on the track. The single, which is officially released on April 13, is the first cut from Delta’s next album, which should hit stores later this year.
Its release is really well timed just a few days ahead of the premiere of The Voice. I’m reminded of the way Jennifer Lopez faded from view only to burn up the charts when she sat on the American Idol judging panel. Do you think we’ll see the same from Delta?
