With some artists, a song can be both a blessing and a curse. Of course, it can make your name and reputation, but it can also act as an albatross around your neck.
With Sia, Me Breathe. Released ago nearly four years, it was taken by many television programs (most memorable in the final moments of Six Feet Under) and its haunting, atmospheric piano strings have become nearly ubiquitous (Adele is also a fan if his sole residence Glory is a drop).
So with Sia's first album in more than two years, it is natural that comb to find a way similar to Breathe Me - which is probably unfair, like that the songs are not very well often.
Instead, Some People Have Real problems is packed with polished, professional mid-paced numbers will not sound out of place on the radio during the day. Yet, the problem is that nothing stands out here, especially in crowded markets that Sia is now occupying.
However, the voice of Australian singer did sound as good as ever. It is one of the few people who could cover a Pretenders song (I Go To Sleep) and coax just the right dose of sensuality in what might Chrissie Hynde. Admittedly, it is not too different from the original, but perfectly suited to the song Sia.
From the original of the document, most of them appeal to those who have heard for the first time through Sia Zero 7, although the songs here are based on the more traditional guitar or piano as the electronic duo .
The names of the song Little Black Sandals or lenses May evoke an air of tweeness, but it is a kind of tweeness beautiful, and Sia's voice never lets the mood slip too far into blandness. Day Too Soon sails close to its territory, with Gabrielle sweet pop / soul feel, but the choir and the general rise 'welfare' atmosphere, it is to listen.
You Have Been Loved is a languid piano ballad that ends beyond its welcome somewhat, but the rhyme style verses of the Academia (with a penalty Beck) is very irritating - not even the singing of the choir can register luxuriant unfortunately.
The Girl Lost For Cocaine You can not have a particularly promising, but it is one of the best pieces here, one beef, loaded brass number that jumps out of the speakers. But the album is a bit spoiled by too many numbers of anonymity that drift through - Death By Chocolate attempts to revive the Breathe Me vibe, but overeggs the pudding a little while Beautiful Calm Driving and Lullaby are sleep-inducing than the title would suggest.
While Sia's absence, the singer / songwriter 'image has changed somewhat. Nobody's suggesting that it should acquire a pharmaceutical appetite to Amy Winehouse or even trying to attract fans MySpace Lily Allen and Kate Nash, but a little more edge would have been useful to distinguish the great diversity of female authors comfortable there right now.
