Voice winner Anja Nissen’s Delta Goodrem-written single axed with will.i.am collaboration rumoured

THE Voice winner Anja Nissen has had her first single, written by Delta Goodrem, axed just hours before it was to be aired.

THE Voice winner Anja Nissen has had her winner’s single axed at the last minute.

My Girls, co-written by Delta Goodrem, was due to be released tomorrow.

However, the song has been abruptly canned and now will not even appear on her self-titled debut album.

Nissen is instead expected to release a song written with will.i.am next week, after tweeting she was recording with him immediately after winning The Voice on Monday night.

“There’s something big coming next week,” her manager Michael Parisi said.

“People will be blown away. The next stage of her career will be exciting, this is going to throw everything on its head.”

Her self-titled album is released August 1 and will now only contain studio versions of covers performed on The Voice.

Nissen has been rush-recording the covers in Sydney this week.

“That’s a Voice journey album, then we’ll launch her career with something else,” Parisi said.

Sources say My Girls was an upbeat electro track which would have had a good shot at getting crucial commercial radio airplay; something no Voice winner or contestant has managed so far.

After The Voice Final 8 tour ends in early August Nissen’s label Universal will send her to LA to start working with international songwriters.

“We couldn’t be more excited to showcase her to the world,” Universal Music president George Ash said.

Nissen was due to premiere My Girls on the Today show tomorrow, a performance that will now not happen, with her version of the song now expected to not see the light of day.

My Girls had been written by Goodrem during sessions for her next album.

In an odd move, no Voice contestants performed original songs during the Grand Final, instead rehashed cover versions presumably to promote the contestants’ upcoming tour, which is being staged by Channel 9’s touring arm.

Nissen’s album tracklist will be Mariah Carey’s Vanishing, David Guetta and Kelly Rowland’s When Love Takes Over, Lauryn Hill’s His Eye on the Sparrow, Mariah Carey’s version of I ’ll Be There, Beyonce’s Irreplaceable, Jessie J’s Wild, Whitney Houston’s I Have Nothing, Jason Mraz’s I Won’t Give Up, One Republic’s Stop and Stare, Clean Bandit’s Rather Be and the John Mayer version of Free Falling.

Nissen previously guested on a single called Don’t Ask Me by artist Ricky Bloomfield, released back in 2012.
