4.0 out of 5 stars A departure of sorts, January 10, 2008
This review is from: Some People Have Real Problems (Audio CD)
Those who know Sia Furler from her outstanding work with Zero 7 - or even her previous solo album "Colour the Small One" - may be a bit surprised by the approach she takes here. Lacking the electronic sheen of her previous work, this latest release is more straight-up pop-soul, but it mostly works very well. The lead-off track "Little Black Sandals" should be a radio hit (if radio had any intelligent life) and throughout, Sia's distinctive vocals come through loud and clear. It's hard to believe she's still so young, since it seems like she's been around for a while. But up to now she's been kind of a figure in the background, with one of those voices that makes you grab the track listings on a CD and search desperately for the singer's name. With this record, she steps out of the shadows and into the spotlight. I hope it brings her the attention she deserves.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Performance That Was Second To None, November 20, 2008
By Edward Lewis Jr. (KANSAS CITY, MO USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Some People Have Real Problems (Audio CD)
When her and her band's performance was over on the Late Show with David Letterman, I became her newest fan. Her voice is amazing, what soul, but it was her jumping up and down personality that won me over. Usually when I come across a talent even close to hers, I buy everything she has ever song on, immediately(thanks to amazon). It's my way. No change here. This woman is a Diva without acting like one. Everyone support her!

5.0 out of 5 stars Some people have REAL psychedelia, February 3, 2008
By Amaranth "music fan" (Northern California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Some People Have Real Problems (Audio CD)
Sia's "Some people have REAL problems" aptly sums up the beginning of this year. Thankfully, this album is as comforting as a cup of hot mint cocoa. Aussie diva Sia Furler's new album is a contrast with her more somber "Colour the Small One." She has an American girlfriend,she's got RAINBOWS! UNICORNS! CLOWNS!

"Some people have REAL problems" opens with the optimistic "Little Black Sandals." It's about the escape from an abusive relationship. "Lentil" and "You have been loved" recast romantic cliches with an innovative,soulful electro-pop sound. "The girl you lost to cocaine" takes a cynical,zippy spin on a somber subject (sort of like Colbie Caillat's sappy "Midnight Bottle"-the most peppy song about alcoholism) "Soon we'll be found" is a hopeful anthem. "Electric Bird" is also anthemic;it would be fitting on a television soundtrack. "Beautiful Calm Driving" is soothing trip-hop,a road trip song. Very trippin'. "Death by chocolate" sounds another optimistic note-complete with a backing chorus of the Scientologists Giovanni Ribisi&his daughter Lucia,as well as Jason Lee. Pantera is also on it. The highlights are the nerdy love duet with Beck "Academia",the Eastern-sounding "Playground" and the playful dysfunctional relationship song "Buttons."

"Some people have REAL problems" is Sia's playful US debut of sorts. Its blend of earthiness, mysticism, and soul makes it a winning combination. Sia calls herself Lady Croissant;her music is delicious. Drink it down with some peppy coffee! With chocolate of course...
