Word has it the success of Sia's day job as a pop songwriter for hire prompted her record label to persuade her to record another album. However, she said she wouldn't tour it and make only a few promotional appearances, in most of which her face has been completely covered. It's ironic that her public persona is so shy when her music is anything but introverted...

Tweet No Fear to Be Found Chances are that you've heard "Chandelier" by now, and there's an even greater chance you've seen the various videos of Sia performing the song without showing her face. The album that goes with the song is the singer's sixth in the studio. After a long career of being both performer and songwriter, she's back and releasing this album, 1000 Forms of Fear. Much like the lead single, "Chandelier," the album is full of the dramatic sound...

Without knowing much of Sia Furler's history, '1000 Forms Of Fear' could, on first glance, resemble the debut album of yet another singer-songwriter aping the sonic aesthetics of her big-hitting contemporaries. As it happens, this is the Australian singer-songwriter's sixth studio album, and the first since Rihanna called upon her writing talents for 'Diamonds', just one of a string of inescapable hits that Sia has penned for others in recent years...

I'd like to think that i'm hip to the pulse of the music scene.....except when it comes to music I'm supposed to know about. Songs that my parents friends know about. Or even songs that my kids know about. Yet I'm in my own world seeking out 'cutting edge music nobody has ever heard of'....whatever the Fuck that means. When I first heard Sia; I immediately knew this is probably an artist I should know about. I got that feeling that if it already hasn't blown up the radio.....

Sia's first album in four years, 1000 Forms of Fear is full of moving song lyrics, brooding and beats; with some pop thrown in for good measure. First track and lead single, "Chandelier" drew a lot of attention for its video which features a miniature Sia dancing around a rundown-looking room. If you didn't know it was a song by Sia, you could be forgiven for thinking it was a Rihanna hit; the similarity comes from the low-range vocals, the beat of the song - that almost sounds like the start...

Available on: Monkey Puzzle / RCA When an artist who has come to prominence writing hit songs for popstars releases their own music, it raises the inevitable question of where the difference lies between a song they would want to pass on and a song they would nourish themselves. Australian singer-songwriter Sia had already had a long career before she began penning songs like 'Diamonds' for Rihanna, 'Pretty Hurts' for Beyonce and 'Titanium' for David Guetta, releasing five albums that roamed...

Hey all you bonny and blithe folk--good luck finding a soundtrack to suit your cheerful sensibilities this year. Prick your ears however, conflicted lovers and anguished youth, and pause your Ed Sheeran, your Lana Del Rey and your Sam Smith. Sia has come to wail away her woes, and you might want to hear it. Not that she's any sort of newcomer. Before becoming this decade's Linda Perry, Sia had already released five albums and was making her way up in the music business...

After four years of writing towering hits for some of the biggest stars in modern music, Sia is cautiously poised to claim some of the pop spotlight back for herself, but only on her own idiosyncratic terms. From the shadowy vacancy of the album cover for her dynamic new record, 1000 Forms of Fear, to the eccentric performance art promotion for the album--featuring unconventional interpretative dancers (and even Lena Dunham), but not Sia herself--she is an artist embroiled in a constant...

In the four years since Sia Furler's last studio album, the Aussie singer/songwriter has found success contributing to the popularity of David Guetta and penning ballads for Rihanna (Diamonds), Beyoncé (Pretty Hurts) and Britney (Perfume).
Furler's sixth album reunites her with producer Greg Kurstin but springs from more painful subject matter than the cheery guitar pop of 2010's We Are Born...
