Sia is an Australian singer and songwriter known for her mezzo-soprano vocal range of 3 octaves and a semitone. She started her career in the Adelaide acid jazz scene before debuting as a solo artist with her trip-hop album "[r=5058458]". Sia gained international recognition through her jazzy vocal contributions to several Zero 7 albums and the popularity of her track "Breathe Me" on alternative radio. Her EDM-inspired album, featuring iconic videos with young dancer Maddie Ziegler, propelled her to become pop's most in-demand songwriter.

In addition to releasing successful albums like "We Are Born" and "This Is Acting", Sia has also collaborated with renowned artists such as David Guetta, Flo Rida, Labrinth, Diplo, and LSD (53). Her songwriting credits include Christina Aguilera, Rihanna, Céline Dion, Beyoncé, Katy Perry, Britney Spears, and Eminem. Sia continues to captivate audiences with her unique sound and powerful performances.

Her latest album release is [m=1269653], which features 10 original festive songs. In November 2018, a Target Exclusive Deluxe CD was released containing three bonus tracks. With a diverse discography and undeniable talent, Sia remains one of the most influential artists in the music industry today.

'This Is Acting' is the seventh studio album by Australian singer-songwriter Sia. Sia's songs update the grandiose Eighties lite-rock ballad tradition of Diane Warren and Phil Collins for our moodier era of R&amp;B-inscribed feminism, delivering lyrics about strain, perseverance and redemption over tracks that build from tensely foreboding verse to a titanic cathartic chorus. She's mastered the formula so well that she's made her seventh solo album a commentary on how hit songs are made. The tunes here were originally intended for - and then rejected by - major singers. It's a fascinating study in what it's like to live life imagining yourself in someone else's artistic shoes. 'This Is Acting' opens with two songs that Sia hoped to land on Adele's 25. Her approximation of the phrasing and tone of the world's most beloved singer over the roiling piano on 'Bird Set Free' is uncanny, while 'Alive' is a throwback soul crusher that would've been the hardest-hitting thing on that blockbuster LP. Other highlights, such as the industrial-strength anthem 'Unstoppable,' feel like they could've been recorded by a half-dozen artists, from Katy Perry to Miley Cyrus.
