SiA

The soft-spoken Sia graced our studio in Austin, where she performed an exclusive set of songs from 2008's Some People Have Real Problems. With a timid vibrato that eases its way into peaks of spine-chilling croons, Sia patiently hits each note, slowing down the original versions to help show off her range. Soft keyboard and cello humbly assist her every move, from the cheeky "Academia" to the quietly beautiful "You Have Been Loved." While her recordings are always impressive, her poise in this live setting is impeccable.
