Delta's Second Tilt at the United States

DELTA Goodrem is packing her bags and preparing to move to the US.
The singer confided to friends a long-held plan of relocating long-term to the West Coast of America to work with some of that country’s top songwriters as part of a reinvigorated push to crack the US market.

Record industry sources report Goodrem has responded to criticism that she has become idle waiting for success to come to her by going on the front foot and showing she is ready to commit to the chase.

The singer was last month said to have begun cleaning out the mansion she rents with fiancee Brian McFadden in Hunters Hill.

Sources report that as part of the clean-out she labelled up a huge mountain of clothing for a garage sale. Neither her record label Sony nor management would comment when asked about her relocation plans yesterday.

McFadden has been in Los Angeles working on his own new album release and apparently searching for a base for the couple.

“This year will definitely be a year where she spends a lot of time songwriting in the US,” her rep Jen Fontaine said.

“She is prepared to spend a lot of time over there but I wouldn’t say it was permanent.

“She has been back and forth a lot in recent times and she is prepared to spend as much time there as necessary to make this album but she retains interests here.”

Goodrem is also said to have cut her hair in anticipation of the workload ahead.
