Some people have real problems (Review)

Some People Have Real Problems
Sia


Many would have heard Sia’s catchy hit ‘Buttons’ or have seen her perform it on Rove recently, yet little are aware of the true talent that this Australian indie solo artist holds to her name. Some People Have Real Problems is no exception; with 14 tracks, is soulful and wholly enjoyable. It is a great place to start in your discovery of Adelaide’s quirkiest daughter Sia Furler. She has now released five solo albums, each full of eccentricities, beauty and strength.
While the poppy ‘Buttons’ and ‘Academia’ are brilliantly uplifting and light, the album’s other tracks are much more soulful and heart-felt. The opening track ‘Little Black Sandals’ displays her voice’s depth and leads listeners into a versatile and amazing album living up to the grand reputation Sia has earned herself overseas. Backed by Beck’s fantastic band, there are a lot of favorable things to say and not many complaints I could make. Sia will surprise and warm new listeners. My suggestion is play this one on a lazy Sunday morning, relax, get a coffee and I guarantee you will not be disappointed by this peculiar poppy little piece of art.
