The Keith Urban track is from 2002's (2) cd of collaborations with mostly Aussie stars, and before he was big in America.

ONJ can pull in some collaborators. I just finished compiling a 7-disc rarities/remixes set, and it took two CDs to get all the duets that don't appear on her albums or on predominantly ONJ soundtracks. Below are the track listings for the pair. If I missed something, let me know...

Promo video for the first single (which might be the best thing ONJ has done in 15+ years) can be found here:

This CD now has a US release date of September 2 (on EMI). It is set to come out in Canada -- seven weeks earlier -- on July 29.

Interesting fact: My boss's boss looks exactly like ONJ ca. 1978, when she wore her hair long & straight.

My boss's boss is smokin' hot.

Bump ~ added cover art and pre-order link for the domestic release to the first post.

I picked up a Canadian pressing of this at the Virgin Megastore in NYC, on sale for $10. Judging by the Amazon link above, it looks like the US release didn't happen, at least not yet.

It is amazing to think that this woman will celebrate her 60th birthday in a few weeks.
Still one of the most beautiful women on the planet.
And this is a really good collection, too. The Delta Goodrem, Barry Gibb and Jann Arden duets are among the best things she's done in the past 20 years.
There's a new bio coming out in the UK in October that I will have to check out.
