Sia's newest release, Some People Have Real Problems, is a 13 track release,
plus a hidden track "Buttons." Once again, Sia teams up with Beck on a
couple of tracks, Academia and Death By Chocolate (actor Giovanni Ribisi also
does backing vocals on Death By Chocolate). And added bonus to the CD

I first learned of Sia Furler in December 2001 when she and Sophie Barker performed "Destiny" with Zero 7 on
the Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn, and she left an unforgettable
impression. Don't judge a book by its cover, as you wouldn't expect such
lush and soulful voices to slide off her lips. With an
MTV Breakthrough video that supported "Destiny," we should be hearing big
things from Sia in the near future.
Zero 7's third full-length release, The Garden, is now available in the States.
Sia is brought back to do guest vocals on six tracks. The album marks a
slight departure from the band's previous work, as it moves away from its
downtempo theme, but don't throw in the towel after the first listen
though. Many of the songs take a few listens. Standout tracks such
as "Throw It All Away" and "This Fine Social Scene" help
make for a great summer album.
Aussie
Sia Furler's debut album Healing Is Difficult was released in 2002 in her
homeland. Her second album, Colour the Small One, was released in
early 2004 and is absolutely brilliant. Although different from her
dance-themed debut, if you like her work with Zero 7, you'll love Colour the
Small One.
Both Sia and Sophie return as guest vocalists on Zero 7's sophomore album, When
It Falls. New to the project is Danish vocalist Tina Dico, who's EP, Far,
was released in May 2004. Sound clips are below, and if you'd like to hear songs in their entirety, you can also listen to the songs on my online radio station at Live365.com.
Pics from Sia's 4/2/2006 show at the Troubadour in Hollywood, CA are available
