"As an entertainer and as a person, I am always searching for what is real," Vanessa Amorosi explains why her album is titled "Somewhere in the Real World". [ [http://www.premierartists.com.au/roster/Vanessa_Amorosi Premier Artists - Artist Roster: Vanessa Amorosi] ]

Amorosi says: "I think this album represents me finally. When I listen to "Absolutely Everybody" and "Shine" now, I sound like a baby, because I was a baby. "Somewhere in the Real World" represents who I am now and I believe it’s still recognisable. You can’t change your soul, but I have matured and have had life experiences that brought out these songs.
I took a long time making sure that every song on the album meant something to me. I wanted it to be one of those albums you buy, where you listen to it from the beginning to the end and it takes you on a journey. "Somewhere in the Real World" is a journal of what I’ve been doing."
