Singer-songwriter Delta Goodrem has been chosen to represent Australia by SBS and production partner Beyond Productions at the 70th Eurovision Song Contest in Vienna, Austria.
One of our biggest musical stars of the last two decades, Goodrem has done it all, from relerasing chart toppiing albums to winning nine ARIA Awards. She will take to the stage at the Wiener Stadthalle this May with her triumphant new single ‘Eclipse’.
“I’m so honoured to represent Australia on one of the biggest and most iconic music stages in the world at Eurovision!” says Goodrem. “As a singer-songwriter, music has been my lifelong passion. I’ve always loved the creativity, individuality, and joy Eurovision brings, connecting and uniting people across the globe through music, the universal language. I can’t wait to arrive in Vienna and make Australia proud.”
Arriving today, ‘Eclipse’ is a dazzling sonic creation blending a delicate piano line with cinematic production and Goodrem’s soaring vocals. The track, which was written by Goodrem, Ferras Alqaisi, Jonas Myrin and Michael Fatkin (who also produced the single), goes up another level once the dancey beat kicks in, signalling a new direction for Goodrem.
‘Eclipse’ is accompanied by a spectacular music video featuring Goodrem tinkling the ivories in the middle of the desert. The clip was directed by Melbourne-born, London-based filmmaker Liam Pethick (Ed Sheeran) and produced by acclaimed creative Brian Purnell (Celine Dion, Troye Sivan, Snoop Dogg and Tame Impala).
