Delta Goodrem is capitalising on her Eurovision hype, with the announcement of her next studio album Pure overnight. <\/p>\n

Goodrem, who will represent Australia at this week\u2019s Eurovision Song Contest in Vienna, will release her seventh studio album on November 6.<\/p>\n

It\u2019ll mark the end of her longest gap between records – five and a half years since she dropped her sixth studio album, 2021\u2019s Bridge Over Troubled Dreams, which hit number one on the ARIA charts. <\/p>\n

Since then, Goodrem\u2019s chart fortunes have wavered compared to her record-breaking Born To Try days – standalone singles Back To Your Heart and Hearts On The Run failed to chart – but she\u2019s about to perform to one of the biggest global audiences of her career with her anthemic Eurovision entry Eclipse.<\/p>\n

Goodrem will perform in this year\u2019s second semi-final, airing locally on SBS from 5am on Friday morning. Last year\u2019s Aussie entry Go-Jo failed to progress beyond the semi-final, but it\u2019d be a major upset if Goodrem suffered the same fate: Not only is she arguably the biggest star we\u2019ve sent to the contest, her entry is also sitting in the top five<\/a> among the betting odds to win the whole thing (Finland is currently the favourite to win). <\/p>\n

Assuming Goodrem does make it through the semi-final, she will then compete in the weekend\u2019s Eurovision grand final, which will air locally on SBS from 5am on Sunday. I\u2019ll be live blogging the event here on news.com.au on Sunday morning too (see you there, fellow earlybird Eurovision tragics). <\/p>\n

Australia has competed in Eurovision 10 times since 2015, and a decade in, we have a habit of either doing really well or really badly: We\u2019ve placed in the top 10 five separate times, but we\u2019ve also failed to progress to the grand final three times. <\/p>\n

The Aussie showing to beat is from our second year in the contest, 2016, when Dami Im came second with The Sound of Silence.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, six months out, few details have been released for Goodrem\u2019s next album, save for the sparkly cover and the fact that it\u2019ll have sixteen songs (with Eclipse as track 11). <\/p>\n

In a statement released overnight, Goodrem said that Pure is \u201can album I\u2019ve been creating and living through over the past few years, and it truly feels like a return to myself and the heart of who I am as an artist.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt holds some of my biggest singalongs, my most vulnerable moments, and brings in all the elements I love most in music – from intimate classical piano pieces to uplifting cinematic anthems,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n
