Well, I just received Delta's Mistaken Identity in the mail, and after a couple of listens have to say that I like it very much. I'll have more to share after a few more listens, but it seems that she is really blossoming as an artist. It will be interesting to see how she will do in the US market, if it actually happens! I really like the song written by and sung with Brian McFadden, "Almost Here."

I love Mistaken Identity! My favourite songs are Electric Storm, Fragile, The Analyst, Last Night on Earth and Disorientated. One thing I love about this album is that there are so many emotions and she ties them into the music.
Almost Here is a great song. I like how their voices blend together.

So far I would have to say that my favorite songs on the album are: "Out Of The Blue", "Sanctuary", "A Little Too Late", "Last Night On Earth", and "Almost Here", with "Almost Here", being my absolute favorite. I cannot yet determine which of the two albums by Delta that I have is more favorable to me. "Mistaken Identity" is a deeper and more mature album lyrically, to be sure, but there are a lot of highly likable songs on "Innocent Eyes" that make it hard to choose. I guess there is no need to do so, however, because I have both of them!

I've been giving this album a lot of listens, and have to say that I really like it a lot! There's really not a weak song on it. As Leona has mentioned, it covers a lot of emotions. Different songs are catching my attention at different times. I still like "Almost Here" the best, because I think it is beautifully sung, but other songs are gaining ground on it, like "Sanctuary", "Out Of The Blue", and "A Little Too Late." Oh, I can't fail to mention "Last Night On Earth", another favorite of mine!

Mistaken Identity Track-By-Track
Out of the Blue
Out of the Blue is the first single from the album and the first track on the album, because it's a new beginning and a new chapter of my life. I wanted to come out with a positive song because I'm still singing and this is my music and I'm going to do a song I'm really happy and people can feel enlightened by. It's really quite a big production, it's got trumpets ans a huge chorus. It's really beautiful track about someone coming into your life and bringing you out of the blue into a special place.
The Analyst
The Analyst is lyrically one of my favourite tracks on the album. It really talks about analyzing myself. It was about Wimbleton time, I wanted to bring something. I go to bed ans I think the day through, thinking I should have done this, I should have done that. I just think about it alot. I wanted to write a song about analyzing and we called it The Analyst.
Mistaken Identity
Mistaken Identity was one of the first tracks written for the album. It was like a no brainer that it would be the title of the album. It was such a defining moment for the album and the lyrics are my favourite on the whole album. Say somebody who had a really outrageous past-time who maybe had a really partying lifestyle and are working somewhere they really want to move on and don't want to think about it. I can't wait for people to hear it, it's my favourite song I've written.
Extraordinary Day
Extraordinary Day is in accordance to July 8th. It was the day I was diagnosed before anyone else knew, July 8th. The day I was told cancer came into my life. It's such an important song on my album. It builds the colour of it. I feel I have to talk about it still on my album, I've got the tracks like A Little Too Late which are really. I didn't have the best year, I didn't enjoy it. It was an extraordinary day. Extraordinary day - July 8th.
A Little Too Late
A Little Too Late is one of the funnest songs on the album. I had an absolute ball. It's like a really fun track that saying, a lot of the tracks on the album are really intense and dramatic, I needed a song saying do do do. The whole time we were recording it we were all shrugging our shoulders, just having fun.
Be Strong
Be Strong is a song on the album that I was thinking about a dear friend of mine, I was growing my hair back and I started to try to get myself out; I started to try to get out of it, I ws on steroids I was putting on weight, losing weight, putting on weight, losing weight and all these things and a dear friend of mine Belinda Emmett wasn't feeling the best. I just wanted to write a song for her, be strong. I didn't even know if it wold make the album. I just wanted to write a song for her.
Electrical Storm
There was a lot going on in the media about my lovelife and I never had that before because I was always by myself and I always had to speak on behalf of me, not on a duo. Love's an electric storm. It started to, that was my inspiration, my relationship and so much was getting me really down and I started feeling a lot of pressure by other things that were being said and it felt like I was in a thunderstorm it was just crazy. It's saying I won't be struck by the weather, I won't give up never never. It's one of those songs you kind of put your fists down , I won't give up never never. I seem to have a weather fascination lately. Maybe because all the elements of life: fire, wind, earth, and water and I have a feeling towards that on this album.
Almost Here
Brian McFadden had written it with Paul Barry and Mark Taylor. David Massey (my A&R man from Sony) had sent me this song and asked me to listen to it. They sent it and asked if I wanted to sing with Brian on the choruses. I didn't know and the explained to me that he was in Westlife, who was big in other parts od the world. All it did for me was that I really felt the lyrics. I didn't think of doing a duet on my album, no way. To have, he has such an amazing voice and I heard this song and fell in love with it. He has a great voice and I really wanted to do it. It's one of my favourite songs on the album. It's a great breakup song.
Miscommunication
Miscommunication is a more funkier track. It's definitely something completely left of what I have ever done and is really old school sounding. It kind of got a relaxed vibe to it. It's about miscommunication on the phone when you have a phone relationship for a long time. It can be screwed in different ways and I think I was in a bad mood that day.
Sanctuary
Sanctuary is a song on the album I wrote with Cathy Dennis and Guy Chambers, I adored working with. It's kind of more laid back. It came earlier on the album. It's a nice relaxed easier listening song.
Last Night on Earth
I had a concept of being in a really great place saying I want to love like it the last night on earth and that if tomorrow never comes I want you to know I really care for you. It's a really beautiful track.
Fragile
I wrote it a while ago and it's still stacks up today. It's a ballad. It's just paino and vocal. It's really small. It's definitely the vulnerable track. It's the track saying sometimes I do feel fragile and sometimes I do feel alone. This song feels really imitimate and close to my heart. There was no way it wasn't going to be on the album.
Disorientated
The lyrics are very self-explanatory amd it's a little bit quirky. It has a lot of my classical influences in it. It's basically saying I'm disorientated and I'm trying not to be jaded. It's really a disorientated track. It's rambled thoughts that really aren't connected. It's really disorientated and good fun.
You Are My Rock
You are My Rock, I wrote for a dear friend of mine who was absolutely my rock and it's a great way to close out the album. It's a thank you song and I can say to people you are my rock and you really touched my soul and now I can thank you in this song. It's a beautiful piano piece, Guy Chambers and I wrote it together. I was telling him, we went into deep discussion about my life , and I was telling him about this person who was my rock through my treatment and he said do you want to write a song about it. And we wrote it and called it You are My Rock.

The track- by -track that you posted of "Innocent Eyes" has really given me a greater appreciation for that album, and reading this does the same! Thank you so much for sharing!
