Editorial Reviews

Album Description
In addition to her successful solo career, Sia has also worked extensively with ZERO 7; She provided the vocals for the hit singles "Destiny" and "Distractions" from their debut album Simple Things, as well as tracks on their subsequent albums, When It Falls and Garden. She also collaborated successfully with MASSIVE ATTACK and WILLIAM ORBIT.

Sia has had huge club hits, including "Drink To Get Drunk" [remixed by DIFFERENT GEAR] and the UK garage remix of "Little Man" by WOOKIE

"Breathe Me," from her album Colour the Small One gained significant attention when it was used in the elaborate final scene of HBO's SIX FEET UNDER.

Amazon.com
After a smattering of success surrounding her inclusion in the Six Feet Under series finale with the song "Breathe Me," and collaborations with electronic stars Massive Attack and Zero 7, Sia (Furler) returns with a pop record that's witty and touching, alternately funny and achingly melancholy. Shades of Fiona Apple cross with Joss Stone's blue-eyed soul. Sia shines on a terrifically sung take on the Kinks' (by way of the Pretenders cover) "I Go To Sleep" and her own deeply felt "Lentil." Many of these songs shimmer with a radio-friendly gloss, but the show belongs to this eccentric Australian, who bravely subverts the accessible production through winking and sometimes sinister lyrics. Beck guests on the metaphor-packed "Academia," book-ending lines like "you're a difficult equation with a knack for heart evasion" with a mournful chorus that strips away the lyrical cleverness to plumb the broken-hearted depths of a ruined relationship. Check your enhanced CD for a truly strange video for the hidden bonus track, "Buttons," in which Sia distorts her face using a wide variety of objects, including scotch tape, fishnet hose, and a condom, to name a few. If this playing with her own image is Sia's warning shot across the bow of a popular music industry obsessed with the visual, it'll make you think twice about what you're seeing, but can't distract from the intoxicating soundscape she delivers. --Ben Heege

Variety
"Like a chocolate cake doused in rum, it's sweet, but packs a kick."

"Sia could upstage an elephant at the circus."

"Sia leaves the boys club behind and asserts her stone soul genius on Some People have REAL problems."
