Sia — This Is Acting (Limited Deluxe Edition) (Oct. 21st, 2016) 
Ξ Six new tracks, including her collaborations with Sean Paul and Kendrick Lamar.
Ξ The “Chandelier” singer says that the album is going to feature more pop songs than her fans might be used to from her.
Ξ “I’m super productive. I have a full album ready to go and it’s much more pop,” Sia said in an interview with NME. “I’m calling it This Is Acting because they are songs I was writing for other people, so I didn’t go in thinking ‘this is something I would say’. It’s more like play–acting. It’s fun.”

Description:
• Sia has announced an extended deluxe edition of her latest album, This Is Acting. Featuring seven new songs, the October 21st release date comes right in the middle of her first full~length North American tour in five years. Two of the seven new tracks aren’t technically new: The Kendrick Lamar~featuring “The Greatest” dropped earlier this month, and the version of “Cheap Thrills” with Sean Paul has been on the radio almost as long as the album’s been out. Another two of the remaining five are actually different takes on previously released songs, including a Alan Walker remix of “Move Your Body” and a take on “The Greatest” sans K.Dot. That leaves “Confetti”, “Midnight Decisions”, and “Jesus Wept” as the truly freshest material on the 19~ong tracklist.
Producer: Greg Kurstin, Jesse Shatkin, Kanye WestNotes:
Ξ Sia’s music incorporates hip hop, funk and soul as a base for her vocal styling. In 2014, she was ranked the 97th richest Australian person under the age of 40 by BRW magazine, with a reported net worth of AU$20 million. Her music has received an array of accolades, including ARIA Awards and MTV Music Awards.

Album Review
Ξ Even when she’s crafting hits for other people, there’s a vulnerability in Sia’s songwriting that rings true. On This Is Acting, she sings some of the songs she wrote for — and were rejected by — stars such as Adele, Rihanna, and Katy Perry. Though they were intended for other singers, Sia sounds as commanding and genuine as ever. Ξ “Alive,” which she co–wrote with Adele, has an empowering sweep that Sia takes in a direction that is all hers, while “Bird Set Free” is both intimate and anthemic, a territory of which she is the queen.
