Eccentric, Adelaide-born Sia (Furler) has leaked six full tracks from her upcoming fifth studio album,
We Are Born, which is due to drop in early May. Produced by Greg Kurstin, it's a polished sounding record that features Nick Valensi from The Strokes. Apparently taking just half of the scheduled recording time, Sia says
We Are Born "just came barfing out".
It's a much more bouncy, optimistic release than
Some People Have Real Problems from two years ago. It sounds simplistic, maybe even patronising, but this album sounds like Sia has turned a corner. So far it's syrupy, very cute and very pop. Which isn't always a bad thing, as she proves. Listen up.
