Sia's new album, “Some People have REAL problems”, introduces us to a unique artist considered by the insiders as one of the most talented singers/songwriters of recent years. For this record, she benefited from the help of friends such as Beck (we find it on “Academia”) or members of Turin Brakes who co-wrote some of the titles. “Some People have REAL problems” is produced by Jimmy Hogarth, best known for his work with Corinne Bailey Rae, James Morrison, James Blunt and Amy Winehouse. Maybe you're not aware of it, but chances are that you already know Sia's music. You could have heard him sing on Zero 7's “Simple Things”, “When It Falls” and “The Garden” albums. In the last episode of “Six Feet Under”, there was his song “Breathe Me” which accompanied the last five minutes of the series. If you are a YouTube aficionados, you may have watched the music video of the title “Buttons” that appears on the upcoming album. Honoured by famous blogger Perez Hilton, this clip has become one of the most shared music videos and the second most watched music video on the site. Rising up in the Top 10 music videos and in the Top 40 all videos on the Internet, “Buttons” has become such a phenomenon that Internet users are now putting online their own versions of the clip. A quick look at YouTube makes it possible to realize the growing success of this unique artist: her clips have been viewed by tens or even hundreds of thousands of visitors. Sia is an Australian emigrant currently living in Los Angeles after being a London time. She began her prodigious career in Australia at the age of nine in her her's band The Soda Jerx. Leaving Australia for England, she collaborated with Zero 7 and also released two solo albums, “Healing Is Difficult” (2002) and “Colour The Small One” (2004). These s earned him dithyrambic criticism, with The Sunday Times praising “a voice as powerful as a fog horn and as delicate as a whisper” while Esquire celebrated a record “of rare beauty.”
