Delta Goodrem continues its latest creative chapter with the release of ‘Hologram’a soaring pop song that gives a new insight into her upcoming album, ‘Clean’.
The new single comes as the Australian singer-songwriter builds momentum internationally following a milestone year which included her highly praised performance of ‘Eclipse’ at the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 in Vienna. Goodrem has also recently signed a new global agreement with Universal music, Better Now Recordsand Electrolawhich marks an important step in the next phase of her career.
Built around themes such as clarity, confidence and authenticity, ‘Hologram’ finds Goodrem reflecting on the difference between illusion and reality.
“A hologram lets you see the same image from different angles, and that was the spark for the song,” Delta said via a press release. “‘Hologram’ is about that moment when someone, or something, suddenly comes into focus. It’s about looking beyond the promises, the fantasy and the smoke and mirrors, and finding strength in what is real.”
She adds that the song reflects her current outlook both personally and professionally.
“At this stage in my life and career, I’m drawn to transparency and authenticity,” she says. “For me, it’s about having the wisdom to see beyond the illusion, while dancing in the magic of it all.”

The trail follows ‘Eclipse’which introduced listeners to the sonic direction of ‘Clean’. The single became one of Goodrem’s strongest recent successes, reaching number 1 on Australia’s AIR Independent Singles Chart and landing on the ARIA Top 20 Australian Artist Singles Chart following its Eurovision run.
Interestingly, Goodrem revealed that ‘Hologram’ and ‘Eclipse’ was written during the same studio session.
“We actually wrote ‘Hologram’ on the same day as ‘Eclipse’“, she says. “We had so much fun in the studio. This song started with me and my songwriters late at night, surrounded by pianos, guitars and instruments, picking them up, singing harmonies and following where the music wanted to take us.”
The singer also pointed to classic Eurovision-inspired pop influences that helped shape the track, citing a renewed appreciation for decades of contest history, including the lasting impact of ABBA.
While ‘Eclipse’ leaned towards a more cinematic and emotional sound, Goodrem describes ‘Hologram’ like its lighter counterpart.
“‘Hologram’ felt like a carefree friend,” she says. “Playful, colorful and completely alive.”
With ‘Clean’ on the horizon, ‘Hologram’ further signals a confident new era for one of Australia’s most successful pop exports – one that balances stadium-sized hooks with a renewed emphasis on creative freedom and self-discovery.
