Before she was writing songs for Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears, SiA was in a band that never made it called Crisp. Surprisingly, as these tracks show, she wasn’t always the vocalist. Click below to listen to some of the tracks.

Sexy Track: “I’m In Here (Piano / Vocal Version) by SiA

1

The original form of this track was one of the six intentionally leaked tracks from SiA’s album We Are Born. That version was good enough to make this song a staple for us in 2010. But, when we heard the acoustic version, which was a bonus track on the iTunes edition of the album and now has gained enough ground to be the track features on the official video. This is SiA at her most beautiful and sonically eloquent. This is a ditty to save for life.

SiA Furler confirms writing for Britney Spears

Sia Furler deals in contradictions. She doesn’t like talking to people she doesn’t know but enjoys interviews with strangers on the phone. She despises fame and the way it changes lives but obsessively consumes vacuous American reality shows seemingly doing the same thing.

Lying in bed in her New York apartment, the Adelaide-born singer-songwriter is attempting to explain why, just as her 17-year career is nearing its peak, she is planning her retirement from public life.

“I’m getting a bit famous now,” Sia (like Beyonce or Madonna, it’s first name only, please) says softly, “and I’m very anxious.”

SiA’s album gets rave reviews!

Yahoo! Music called it one of the top albums of the year and blogs everywhere are ranting and raving about it. We said it a while ago, SiA’s album We Are Born is the only album that we will pay money for. Why? Because she has consistently done great album and in recent interviews she threatened us with a songwriting hiatus for other artists, so we do all we could to help out. We bought it and although it didn’t come with album artwork (which we are disappointed about) we love every track on there. Lovely little album from the queen of organic pop.

SiA’s at it again! She has written songs for Christina Aguilera and Will Young, now that word is allegedly out that SiA is in the works to pen a ballad for none other than Britney Spears. Yes, she has gone that far! This is according to our friend-blog WotYouGot. Here’s what SiA has to say about songwriting: “People call me for the ballads. Apparently that’s where I’ve been pigeonholed. But it’s really interesting and really fun. It’s my favourite part of the job, writing. Especially with other people.” And we don’t get why, because if you have heard that tracks on her new album We Are Born, you would know that she is a bonafide uptempo songwriter, too.

SiA to release live album from “The We Meaning You Tour”

SiA is not only releasing a whole new full-length album, We Are Born, this year. But, also a live album of her material, too. SiA is one of those artists that sounds better live than she does on record and this is always a great way to get that across. She’s a touring artist rather than a records artist. Of course, both are great mediums but a SiA live experience is one to watch and hear. The We Meaning You Tour included old favorites and new material. There are two versions of the CD – one recorded live in Copenhagen’s Vega and the other in London Roundhouse. Be sure to get one!

SiA covers Madonna’s “Oh Father” live!

This Madonna cover, which, dare we say, is better than the original, is going to end up on SiA Furler’s fourth album that was supposes to be her third album but her record label refused to release it because they classified the songstress as a “downtempo artist” following her success with “Breath Me,” which was featured on the grand finale of Six Feet Under. Well, the new album is full blown organic pop made to titillate but in a healthy way. We Are Born is probably going to top a lot of year-end charts. So, keep an eye out for its June 8th release along with another album SiA has been hard at work on – Christina Aguilera’s badly-singled Bionic.

The one and only SiA Furler has finally unleashed the glory that is the artwork for her fourth solo album We Are Born. Yes, the album that was anointed to be the album of the year by Loft965.com headquarters has finally gotten a visual. We are so excited about this, even more excited that Natalie Merchant’s return to the limelight. The album will be released on June 8th, 2010. The sleeve is very cute but too close to the US version of its predecessor Some People Have Real Problems. Six of the tracks on the album, including the single “Clap Your Hands,” are available to stream on her official website.
