Associated acts: Diplo, David Guetta, Labrinth, Zero 7, Maddie ZieglerInfluenced by: Aretha Franklin, Men at Work, Sting, Stevie Wonder,Sia Kate Isobelle Furler (born December 18, 1975) is an Australian Singer-Songwriter, professionally known simply as Sia, primarily known for the dramatic ballads she writes and performs and her signature face-concealing wigs she wears for most public appearances.She got her start in the mid-1990s singing in an acid jazz band called Crisp, up until they disbanded in 1997. By then, she was branching out into a solo career (having already released a Trip Hop album), singing onto Dance Pool and then Go! Beat and releasing an album with each, as well as being a featured vocalist on several Zero 7 songs, including their hit "Destiny." Eventually, she moved to New York to tour in the States, releasing a fourth album and beginning to establish herself as an Indie Pop artist. Sia became more well-known after We Are Born, and her following album, 1000 Forms of Fear and its leading single "Chandelier" pushed her to mainstream success. She further became more famous after collaborations with other high-profile musicians.From the beginning Sia was always uncomfortable with public attention, and would often distort her image on press shots and at live shows. After her newfound success with 1000 Forms of Fear, she decided to stop showing her face in public shows, and does every live performance either with her back to the audience or covering her face with a now iconic bob-styled wig. She does this as an effort to protect her privacy and after feeling destabilized from fame. Oh, and also because of an admitted extra sense of mysteriousness. In 2018, Sia formed the supergroup LSD with Diplo and Labrinth, and their debut album released in 2019.In 2015, Sia announced that she would be directing a movie, titled Music. The movie stars Kate Hudson as Zu, a drug dealer fresh out of rehab, who is tasked with taking care of her non-verbal autistic half-sister Music, played by Sia's protégé Maddie Ziegler. Music came out in the early months of 2021, and despite controversy and poor reviews (mainly regarding its portrayal of autism), the movie managed to get nominated for two major Golden Globes: Best Picture - Musical or Comedy, and Best Actress – Motion Picture Comedy or Musical for Kate Hudson.She is the cousin of Peter Furler, former frontman of Christian rock band Newsboys.

Fangirl: Says she was one of David Letterman as a child, and her excitement upon meeting him on The Late Show with David Letterman in 2008 is quite obvious. She also cites Stevie Wonder as one of her main influences, described a memorable experience meeting him when she was 11, and name-drops him in her 2020 single "Together".

Adam Westing Her appearance on The Late Late Show 's "Carpool Karaoke" is introduced by James Corden driving by, to see Sia (in her full wig) stumbling aimlessly around a sidewalk and requiring almost a minute of help getting into the car. An ad for Google Assistant, an app that allows the user to record vocal messages hands-free, has Sia coming up with a song hook in her makeup chair and looks to make a note of it. However, her wig is already on and so finding a way to mark it down goes awry. Sia portrays caricatures of herself in the television series Nobodies and her film Music (2021). Also, her voice role as herself in Scooby-Doo and Guess Who?, which exaggerates her quirkiness.

New Sound Album

comment
New Sound Album: Sia started out as downtempo/Trip Hop. Her next two albums downplayed the electronic influences, and was more acoustic and mellow Indie Pop. We Are Born and 1000 Forms of Fear are both essentially pop, the former more twee-sounding with heavy guitar influence and the latter more mainstream-sounding.

Vocal Evolution
 Sia (Music) / int_2ef005ab
comment
Vocal Evolution: In the 1990s, she had much more of a throaty, slurred voice reminiscent of Amy Winehouse. In the mid-2000s, her vocal delivery was much softer and even whispery, with more emphasis on enunciation. In the late 2000s, her singing voice had become more like what it is known for today; powerful and distinct, although healthier than it sounded in the 90s. By the 2020s, the aging Sia seems to have developed a much brighter tone.

Older Than They Look: She hides her face in live appearances, has a rather dainty figure and mannerisms, and only broke into the mainstream in the 2010s. The fact that she's middle-aged (and has had a career for quite some time) comes as quite a shock to many newcomers.

Advertised Extra: Sia's character Songbird Serenade in My Little Pony: The Movie (2017) is featured front-and-center on displays at stores as if she is the protagonist, has her own plush toy, a large plastic doll, and a lot of other miscellaneous merchandise, but she appears only at the beginning, for one scene halfway through, and for the first credits song, with very little plot relevance. Undoubtedly this is to draw in fans of Sia, as she voices Songbird and is the basis for her design. Averted with the advertisement not related to the toys though, in which she is either in the background or absent entirely.

Hanging Up on the Grim Reaper: In "Reaper", the protagonist is being stalked by The Grim Reaper, but she rejects him in favour of all the things in life she has yet to experience. A similar theme is explored in LSD's "Heaven Can Wait", although that does not explicitly refer to a Grim Reaper.

Drunken Song: If you listen closely, the pre-chorus to "Chandelier" ("1, 2, 3, drink") is autotuned which makes it sound as if Sia is slurring due to drunkenness, which fits with the theme of the song.

comment
Wham Line The way the music stops for a moment in "Fear" after the following line to emphasize Sia's personal fear: "Butterflies" is a Silly Love Song, but the final line "Because we came from the same cocoon" indicates that it's talking about siblings. Sia gushes about a beloved boyfriend in the first verse of "Confetti", until the line "I felt evey cell fall in love with you, but..." before revealing that he was unfaithful. The second verse delivers a similar blow; "I found lipstick on your collar... wasn't my colour".

Nude-Colored Clothes: In the music videos for "Chandelier" and "Elastic Heart", Maddie Ziegler is wearing a skin colored leotard. It's fairly obvious up close what's she's wearing, but in more distant shots she looks naked, which combined with the dancer being clearly underage can lead to unintentional invokedSquick.

comment
10-Minute Retirement: Due to her discomfort with her growing fame and the effects that touring took on her mental health, Sia planned to retire from performing in 2011 and focus on songwriting alone. However, due to having to release one more album under her publishing deal, as well as the success of collaborations such as "Titanium", Sia found mainstream success and in 2016 she decided she was stable enough to tour again.

The Diss Track "Confetti" and "Play Dumb" are jabs at a cheating ex. However, whether or not the songs describe fictional scenarios or true events remains unknown, and despite her marriage with Erik Anders Lang falling apart presumably due to her infertility, she has never accused him of being unfaithful.

Even better, her real hairstyle prior to donning the wig was a blonde bob cut with bangs. The cover of 1000 Forms of Fear is just a blonde wig to represent her. The half-black wig is also on the cover of This is Acting.

Age-Inappropriate Art
 Sia (Music) / int_704796f9
comment
Age-Inappropriate Art: The music videos for "Chandelier" and "Elastic Heart" have run into controversy due to this trope. The dancing by itself isn't inappropriate (it's just interpretive dance), but the fact that the dancer, pre-teen Maddie Ziegler, is doing it in skin-colored clothes, is what caused people to think twice. The "Elastic Heart" video has it worst because it contains the girl in a cage with Shia LaBeouf, who is shirtless and also wearing skin-colored shorts. It doesn't help that the video is incredibly vague on what it's about. Some interpret it as being about a daughter dealing with an addicted or depressed father, while others think it's about a single dad whose daughter is entering adolescence, but those are just unofficial interpretations.

What the Hell Is That Accent?: Even Sia herself has poked fun at this.

Destructive Romance
 Sia (Music) / int_8d0461e2
comment
Destructive Romance: A theme explored in many of her songs. "Little Black Sandals" describes Sia escaping a powerful and abusive man, who is metaphorically referred to as a "giant". However, in the bridge she admits that: "Straight for the Knife": Much of the song describes a physically abusive boyfriend who scares Sia, however the bridge reveals that despite this she is still "hungry for [his] bad loving". "Free the Animal": Sia describes both desiring to kill her lover and begging to be killed herself, but metaphorically the song could be interpreted as Sia struggling with an abusive relationship: deep down she wants to be free of him, but she also seems to like the pain and wants more of it.

Genki Girl: During her tours and interviews from the 2000s through to the release of We Are Born in 2010, Sia's quirky, energetic stage presence and childlike personality was highly noticeable. Post-fame, Sia has stated in reflection that besides usually being drunk or high on her early tours, she had set herself up for failure by creating such a quirky persona that she could no longer maintain due to the fact that in her personal life she was suffering from depression.

 Sia (Music) / int_bbd2a2c
comment
Alter-Ego Acting: Her album This is Acting is made up entirely out of rejected songs originally written for other singers, making it sort of a Concept Album. Prior to mainstream fame, Sia said: "A lot of people come up to me expecting to meet the person they have seen perform. It's not going to happen, unless my mania, my stage person, responds to them and not the real me." The mania she describes seems to just be a quirkier version of herself, which she later regretted creating due to her inability to maintain it while suffering from depression. Post-fame, Sia remains almost completely silent at shows (except for singing).

Isn't It Ironic?
 Sia (Music) / int_bf8a2be2
comment
Isn't It Ironic? Coke ads for the Olympics and Australian supermarket Coles using "Breathe Me", a song about depression, self-harm, or attempted suicide. Granted, they only used the instrumental part after the lyrics end. An ad for Christian Dior perfume starring Natalie Portman used "Chandelier" — the ad is meant to associate the scent with an epic tale of passionate love, but the song is about alcoholism and the downside of a hard-partying lifestyle. The ad only uses the chorus and pre-chorus of the song, and even then cuts the word "drink" out of the line "one, two, three, drink". Out of context, "I'm gonna swing from the chandelier / I'm gonna live like tomorrow doesn't exist" sounds more romantic than self-destructive, so it's only jarring to those who know what the song is actually about.

Lighter and Softer Fans of Sia expected as much from her when she was announced to be recording a song, "Rainbow", for My Little Pony: The Movie (2017). What caught many off guard is that the song, while definitely one of her more uplifting tracks, is still fairly moody for one that was for what was assumed to be a strictly light-hearted kid's film, including themes of trauma, sorrow, and redemption. Generally, a lot of Sia's music released after 2014's 1000 Forms of Fear is more upbeat, motivational and positive than much of her work beforehand.

Cloud Cuckoolander As evidenced by her Twitter account. Her bio is "i am sia, i was born from the bumhole of a unicorn named steve." Also, Sia named one of her dogs "Turtle" because it's "so turtley." Whilst touring her fourth and fifth albums, Sia performed a few original ditties between normal songs, such as Pee On You and Rat Poop. She has also expressed a religious belief in a higher power known as "Whatever Dude", who is a "a queer, surfing Santa" that resembles her grandpa. In case you think she's just trolling, she has a tattoo of this. She once began an interview with Rolling Stone magazine by apologizing for taking so long to pick up the phone because she was busy "taking a wee".

Lyrical Dissonance
 Sia (Music) / int_dbfd6b8
comment
Lyrical Dissonance: At first, "Cloud" seems to be a happy, uplifting song. However, the lyrics are about a pessimistic jerk who enjoys messing things up for people because their own life is depressing. One could say this about a great amount of her body of work; it shines the most on We Are Born and 1000 Forms of Fear. "Chandelier" is an up-tempo electropop/R&B song about alcoholism. "Dressed in Black" conceals its happy and hopeful lyrics with dark, intimidating instrumental. A more downplayed example, but the lyrics of "Free the Animal" are extremely violent if you read them closely, even for a relatively dark song.

Unplugged Version The final track of We Are Born is an acoustic version of "I'm In Here". It's labeled "Piano Vocal Version" because those are the only instruments. Piano versions of "Chandelier" and "Elastic Heart" were released on the deluxe version of 1000 Forms of Fear. Sia performs a piano version of "Titanium" rather than David Guetta's version. The piano version was finally released to streaming services to coincide with the song's appearance in the film M3GAN.

Determinator: "Never Give Up" from the 2016 movie Lion — which is based on the story of Real Life Determinator Saroo Brierley, who was separated from his family in India as a child, was adopted by an Australian family, and set out to find, and was reunited with, his birth family 25 years later. Also in "Titanium". And "Elastic Heart", and probably more. Even "Rainbow" has shades of this. She likes this trope a lot, which is perhaps unsurprising given all of the things she's been through in her life.

Old Shame: More broadly, Sia has always been prone to Self-Deprecation, but seems to specifically have something against her earliest work. Her debut album, OnlySee, only sold 1,200 copies and to date has never been released on streaming services, making it quite a rare collector's album for fans. Due to OnlySee's obscurity, Sia has often cited her sophomore album, Healing Is Difficult, as her first album, but even then has frequently joked about it and the next album Colour the Small One both flopping.
