New Song – Sia Furler “Cloud” (D/L)
Sia's New Album "We Are Born"
Sia Furler is raging forth with her new album "We Are Born" which is scheduled for release later this month. I have managed to get hold of it, and am really, really impressed. I personally have enjoyed Sia's music for a long time, I only wish I had the oppourtunity to see her live! (NB. If you have seen her live and you are reading this, please, please, please leave a comment and tell me how amazing it was!)
Either way, what I respect about Sia, is she is comfortable as is, she doesn't want to become a huge star, but she also wants to share her fantastic music with people from all around the world. So she is definetly in an ideal position at the moment, where she can make a living off touring to keep her recording career afloat.
One of the many powerful songs on this album, "Cloud", is being featured today, it really encapsulates her vocal range, and sheer vocal strength. Apparently she performs this song live, with incredible control and power. The song slowly builds up until the tumultuous chorus kicks in, it's really quite an amazing song. It is quite sombre in terms of lyrical content, however, the synths in the chorus really escalalates the song into a feel good ballad.
I hope you enjoy it, download it below, and if you did enjoy it, please go and buy the album or go see this fantastic woman live, it would be worth every cent! She truly is quite a talent! As always (but never in reality) please leave comments below, I'd love to know that some Sia fans come to this website!

New Single – Sia Furler “Clap Your Hands”
Sia is back with a new single called "Clap Your Hands", having changed her direction to a more upbeat style on her previous album "Some People Have Real Problems", Sia has continued further into this direction for her upcoming LP "We Are Born" (Due in June 2010). The new single "Clap Your Hands" is infectious, sounds like a mixture between Shakira and Nelly Furtado (during the "Folklore" era).
"Clap Your Hands" is being picked up by Australian radio at a rapid pace, mainly on adult contemporary stations. This usually will mean that her album will sell and chart quite well, but the singles will not have the same success. However this doesn't mean that her single is weak, in fact it's an incredibly catchy number, which will have you listening to it again and again!
Sia originates from Adelaide in Australia, however her career has found the majority of it's success in Europe and the United States, quite unusual for an Australian born artist. Listen to the song, I hope you enjoy it, and leave a comment below!
