Hazardous is the fourth studio album by Vanessa Amorosi, released in Australia on 6 November 2009.[1] It was recorded in Los Angeles and Sweden. On 16 November 2009 the album debuted at #7 on the ARIA Albums Chart.
"This album is so raw and edgy and out-there... it might scare people who’ve bought my albums in the past," Amorosi said. "The whole album is all the stuff I’ve never wanted to talk about, and I’ve only now had the courage to put it out there. I had a lot to say with this album, that’s why it came so quickly. I think a lot of people thought I’d take my time again, which I was nervous about. We were going to head to Europe with the last album, but then it would’ve been another two years, and people would’ve thought ‘I’m tired of buying her records, she pisses off after each one’."[3]
