Brilliant
I cannot stop playing this CD. WOW! What a masterpiece! I had never heard of Sia and I saw this CD and sampled it and purchased it blindly. I am so happy that I did. She is a brilliant singer/songwriter that needs more buzz, especially with a lot of junk that is out there right now.
Some People Have Real Problems is a very pop/piano driven/melodic CD with great lyrics and she has a great, soulful voice to boot. It reminds me a bit of Tori Amos minus the melancholy and sadness. Sia has more up-tempo songs as well as slower ballads. I have owned this CD for about 3 weeks now and I play it almost every day if not every other day.
soundtrack. "Beautiful Calm Driving" is soothing trip-hop,a road trip song. Very trippin'. "Death by chocolate" sounds another optimistic note-complete with a backing chorus of the Scientologists Giovanni Ribisi&his daughter Lucia,as well as Jason Lee. Pantera is also on it. The highlights are the nerdy love duet with Beck "Academia",the Eastern-sounding "Playground" and the playful dysfunctional relationship song "Buttons."
"Some people have REAL problems" is Sia's playful US debut of sorts. Its blend of earthiness, mysticism, and soul makes it a winning combination. Sia calls herself Lady Croissant;her music is delicious. Drink it down with some peppy coffee! With chocolate of course...
