Somewhere in the Real World is the third studio album by Australian artist, Vanessa Amorosi.

"The Simple Things (Something Emotional)" was released as the album's third single in September 2008 and peaked at number 36.

Additionally, "Start It" was chosen by the Australian Football League (AFL) to be their theme song in 2008.

"Amorosi's impressive vocal range and sexy Anastacia-esque tone carry her to new heights on this versatile, accessible album of slick pop tracks and cooing ballads [...] The album boasts beyond-impressive maturity for a singer/songwriter of such a young age, and Somewhere in the Real World picks up from where her first major album, The Power, left off, establishing a pop star whose grace and maturity reflect dollops of potential.

This is a truly impeccable album in terms of balancing credibility, poise, maturity, and all the other things that glorify a true pop artist.".
