Rueben's Ramblings

Sia

Sia is an Australia pop singer and songwriter, who recorded two albums as part of the jazz and indie formation known as Crisp before recording her own solo album called “Only See” in 1997. It wasn’t until 2000 that she signed with Sony Music and released her major-label debut “Healing is Difficult,” which featured the single “Little Man”. This album received wide critical acclaim, but she soon left Sony for Go! Beat Records (a subsidiary of  UMG). After releasing an EP called “Don’t Bring Me Down” in 2003, Sia released her second major album entitled “Colour the Small Ones” in 2004. This album featured one of Sia’s most recognizable songs “Breathe Me,” which was featured not only in the made-for-TV movie Fallen (which starred Paul Wesley, who can now be seen in the popular series on the CW The Vampire Diaires) but also appeared in the series finale of the HBO show Six Feet Under.

After changing records labels, again, touring throughout the United States and providing the vocals for the band Zero 7 on their hit single “Destiny,” Sia released an “almost EP-ish” album called “Lady Croissant” in April of 2007 and followed that up with her next album “Some People Have Real Problems” in January of 2008. Her most recent album, which was just released last month, is called “We Are Born”.
