Delta: New single and tour news



After finally releasing her debut US album last month - which gained itself a place in the Billboard 200 at #116 - Delta is back in Australia for the fourth single from her 3x platinum album "Delta" and its called "I Can't Break It To My Heart". The singles off this album have showcased a diverse range of styles, from the rock-pop of "In This Life" to the dance, string-fuelled ballad "Believe Again" to the quirky raggae-pop of "You Will Only Break My Heart". "I Can't Break It" is an epic ballad about being in denial over the breakup of a relationship. The music video is a collection of behind the scenes footage intertwined with Delta performing the track earler this year at one of her Sydney shows. Watch it here.

Track listing:
1. I Can't Break It To My Heart
2. In This Life (Diamond Cut Remix)
3. Burn For You (Live At The Chappel)

Unfortunately, the CD single features no new b-sides. In fact, it doesn't offer much new at all. Keen fans will have heard the Diamond Cut remix of "In This Life" on the Diamond Cut MySpace page, while the live "Burn For You" (a John Farnham cover) has been floating around the net for months. But hey, better than no single at all! And as the two previous Diamond Cut mixes were much fun, this "In This Life" mix is also a real gem. Australian fans can pre-order limited edition artwork. To do this, visit the official site.

The single is in stores August 16th.



But for the MOST EXCITING NEWS IN AGES! Delta is embarking on her second national tour of Australia in January 2009. Considering The Visualise Tour took place in mid-2005, this is LONG overdue, but will be worth the wait I'm sure. The 9 date "Believe Again" tour stops off in Canberra, Perth, Adelaide, Brisbane, Newcastle with 2 shows each in Melbourne and Sydney. Tickets go on sale August 21 through Ticketmaster.

Dates are as follows:
January 09 - Civic Theatre, Newcastle
January 12 - State Theatre, Sydney
January 13 - State Theatre, Sydney
January 16 - Hamer Hall, Melbourne
January 17 - Hamer Hall, Melbourne
January 24 - Royal Theatre, Canberra
January 27 - Convention Centre, Brisbane
January 30 - Adelaide Entertainment Centre
February 3 - Perth Kings Park

For the UK and European fans who still remember Delta (I don't blame you if you've given up hope since she hasn't released anything for you guys in 4 years!), it appears she will be releasing "Delta" later this year, once US promo is complete. So stay tuned for updates on that!
