Australian import Sia is a singer with a unique place
in the modern music scene. She employs beautiful harmonies,
otherworldly ambience, and soft, moving instrumentation to create an
unusual and captivating sound. Her music is at once difficult to
describe and addictive to the ear. Sia became widely known in the
Adelaide music scene as a pop songster before going through a complete
transformation from energetic pop artist to emotional balladeer.
The new Sia has found her stride and audiences have responded to her
exotic blend of ballad and atmosphere. Her voice has depth and
vulnerability set amidst acoustic guitar and lilting pianos or amongst
slurred drum loops that hover over chilling echoes. Sia's music has a
dreary appeal that attests to her troubled past but occasionally looks
forward to a brighter future.
