POPSTARS finalist Julie Strickland has been revealed as manager Glenn Wheatley's latest pop weapon.
After months of secrecy about his post-Delta pop signing, Wheatley finally revealed Strickland's identity.
"We are in the process of finishing her forthcoming album, which we are very excited about," Wheatley said. "This girl is hot."
Strickland, 22, is working in the studio with Daniel Jones, formerly of the hit-making duo Savage Garden.
Jones has lent his multi-platinum touch to songs for Strickland's debut.
The tracks are said to have the same pop formula that made Savage Garden global chart-toppers with 40 million record sales.
Wheatley has similar ambitions for Strickland.
He wants Strickland's first single, which is yet to be decided, to have an immediate impact.
"I have a very good feeling about this," Wheatley said.
"Out of 20 songs, we've been able to identify four that have the potential to launch this act.
"We need to pick the right song to introduce her to everybody."
Wheatley's management deal with Delta Goodrem ended two weeks ago.
Until now he has deliberately kept Strickland out of the spotlight to avoid comparisons with Goodrem.
Strickland was a finalist in the third series of Popstars.
A favourite to win, Strickland was voted off the show in favour of Scott Cain.
"I'm a big believer in fate and in what's meant to be is meant to be, and that everything happens for the good," Strickland said at the time.
"There is something better for me out there."
Her sister, Lee, was a shoulder to cry on.
She predicted the Popstars exposure would lead Strickland to a recording career.
"She's amazing. She's a really special person. She's got an amazing gift that she can do so much with," Lee said.
Strickland will be signed to Meridien Records, a joint venture run by Wheatley and Jones.
