If you were lucky enough to catch Sia live before she hung up the mic you would no doubt remember just how eccentric and lively the singer can be on stage. It’s a quirkiness that was also felt through the pop moments of Some People and We Are Born and was largely responsible for much of her identity. But just as she’s given up touring and hidden he...
When The NY Timesprofiled the secretive songwriter back in April she revealed the formula behind hits like ‘Diamonds’ and ‘Titanium’. After almost committing suicide, a friend suggested she try writing for others in a way that wasn’t so confessional via ‘high concept’ songs “that work as a simple, poignant, bankable metaphor.” But Sia’s chorus anal...
The personality may be lost, but that doesn’t mean 1000 Forms Of Fear is a complete departure from We Are Born. There are brief moments here where Sia employs the same guitars that The Strokes’ Nick Valensi used to heavily characterise her 2010 release. In fact ‘Hostage’ sounds like a modern day Strokes song until the church bells usher in the chor...
Like its predecessor’s greatest attributes, 1000 Forms Of Fear– at the very least – is consistent in its sonic pop ambitions. There are varying stylistic outreaches like the alternative RnB glitch beats of ‘Elastic Heart’, the brilliant mid-tempo violin jaunt of ‘Fair Game’ and the anthemic piano-led ballad of ‘Big Girls Cry’. But if anything these...
Consistent in style yet not so much in quality. There might be some big moments here worth celebrating, but there are too many fillers that fall a little too far short of the line. Tracks like ‘Straight For The Knife’, the uplifting ‘Burn The Pages’, the annoyingly repetitive ‘Fire Meet Gasoline’ and the over enthusiastic ‘Hostage’ don’t sit on the...
In the same NY Times interview mentioned earlier, Sia discussed the “victim to victory” narrative in pop songs these days, and while that sentiment might carry through on ‘Chandelier’ and ‘Burn The Pages’ much of 1000 FormsOf Fear feels like the victim rather than the victorious. That is to say there’s a stark lyrical depth here that was written to...
Although thankfully on the album cut The Weeknd’s Abel Tesfaye isn’t here to meddle in things. The track was first heard as a contribution to the OST of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire and at the time it was Sia’s best example of modern pop. It remains as such and while there was a far greater RnB influence on the first version – much in thanks to ...
And not just in terms of the record, but in fact, ever. It might have more to do with our expectations given the singer has garnered herself a reputation for heartbreaking ballads in the past (for something other than ‘Breathe Me’, see ‘I Go To Sleep’) but ‘Straight For The Knife’ is an overdone and unspectacular mess that is more awkward than it i...
Given the personal hardships that Sia has experienced over her long career you probably couldn’t find a better candidate for understanding what pop music is all about. The singer-songwriter, after over 20 years in the business, has finally found stable ground and she has a greater excuse for playing it safe than any of her contemporaries. 1000 Form...
