Album Description
In the proud tradition of Aussie soap-stars' graduating to illustrious pop careers (think Kylie Minogue & Holly Valance) comes the debut album for this 18 year-old starlet. Includes the hit single 'Lost Without You' & 'Born To Try'. Delta likes to emphasize how she signed to Sony Australia two years before joining the soap and how she cowrote the majority of the tracks on the album. This push for authenticity results in a top-heavy array of piano and orchestral tracks on the album. Only after multiple plays does the brilliance and complexity of some of the tracks become apparent. However her dazzling voice does shine through right from the start. Sony. 2003.
Album Details
The Chart Topping Debut Album from the Actress who Stars as Nina on the Australian Soap Opera "Neighbours", Following in the Footsteps of Kylie Minogue and Natalie Imbruglia. Includes the Australian #1 Single "Born to Try" and the Follow Up "Lost Without You".
Customer Reviews:
heavy on ballads but she has a beautiful voice.......2006-11-13
I purchased this cd from Amazon and the edition I received is actually an Australian edition. The bonus DVD includes the videos for "Born to Try," and "Lost Without You" as well as "Born to Try" live (recorded in/on a studio/set), and some behind the scenes footage of Ms.goodrem.(basically short "the makings of" the two videos and some clips from when she was in London).
For the price, 10.99, this is a great cd/dvd package. (as Amazon seems to sell other editions from 16.99-19.99-to 20 something dollars, and this edition has the bonus dvd that others don't seem to include)
For those of you wondering if the dvd will play- as it is in PAL format-It played fine on my computer's dvd player-so I think it will probably play on most dvd players.
As other reviewers have mentioned, Ms. Goodrem has a beautiful voice. However if you like more upbeat pop. You should buy her second album "mistaken identity" as the songs are a little more upbeat (and she shows more range). This album is good but most (ok..basically all) of the songs are ballads. (a few of the songs sound similar)
Also, if you're thinking about buying this album I would note that its very much "straight" pop with some occasional alt. cont. leanings... it definitely does not have an R&B edge. Also besides 5 or 6 standout songs (born to try, innocent eyes, etc..)the production on this album can feel somewhat bland and sometimes a little overpowering...
Ms.Goodrem has a good voice, however she does not have the most distinctive voice, (as compared to other pop singers such as Kelly Clarkson, Leann Rimes, or Monica) but her voice is very pleasant, fairly strong, and you have to give her credit for choosing the songs that best compliment her voice. She co/wrote or wrote many of the songs herself.
Good cd. However if you like your pop with more edge I would go with her second album. I would also recommend Kelly Clarkson, Rachel Stevens, Nelly Furtado, or Sugababes.
If you like pop ballads I would check out Julie Andrews "Now," Leann Rimes "Twisted Angel," or any one of Mariah Carey's first five cds.
