Тексты песен Sia Furler
Информация о артисте
Сиэ Кейт Изобель Фёрлер (известная также как Sia [ˈsiːə]) — австралийская певица и автор песен в стиле эмоциональный джаз и поп. Первый её альбом вышел ещё в 1997 году, но только "some people have real problems" 2008 года получил успех. В 2010 году Сиэ получила 6 номинаций на ARIA Music Awards и победила в номинациях: лучший независимый альбом, лучший поп-альбом и лучшее видео.
Сиэ родилась 18 декабря 1975 года и выросла в городе Аделаида, Южная Австралия, где состояла в инди-группе Crisp, выпустившей два коммерчески не успешных альбома "word and the deal" и "delirium", но переехала в 1997 году в Великобританию, чтобы начать заниматься сольной музыкальной карьерой. В Лондоне она начала сотрудничать с электронным дуэтом Zero 7 и Jamiroquai в качестве приглашённый вокалистки и выпустили первый незамеченный критиками инди-альбом "onlysee".
В 2000 Сиэ заключила контракт с Sony Music и выпустила первый полноценный альбом "healing is difficult", сочетающий в себе смешение ритм-н-блюз и джаза. Сингл "taken for granted", (содержащий проигрыш из балета Сергея Прокофьева «Ромео и Джульетта») даже добрался до 10-й позиции в британском чарте. Несмотря на успех и на благоприятные отзывы критиков, называвшие её новой Nelly Furtado, у певицы возник конфликт с лейблом, и она перешла на Universal.
В 2003 вышел альбом "colour the small one" 2004-го года. Звучание сочетало акустические инструменты и обработанный вокал. Песня "the bully" была записана с известным американским артистом Беком. Альбом содержит самую популярную в карьере Сиэ композицию "breathe me", а также "where i belong", предполагавшуюся к использованию в саундтреке к фильму «Человек-паук 2», для чего была снята даже обложка для сингла, где Сиэ одета в платье расцветки Спайдер-мена, но очередной конфликт с лейблом не позволили этого сделать. В 2005 Сиэ записала со старой знакомой австралийской певицй Кэти Нунан (Katie Noonan) композицию «Sweet One», которая до сих пор не выпущена. В 2006 в рамках трибьюта Radiohead «Exit Music: Songs with Radio Heads» Сиэ перепела "paranoid android".
Вопреки слабому продвижению альбома лейблом, "breathe me" сначала использовали в сериале «Клиент всегда мёртв», потом при трансляции показа коллекции Victoria's Secret, затем права на продвижение сингла, (а с ним и альбома) в США были выкуплены рекорд-компанией astralwerks, организовавшей для Сиэ турне по США в 2006-м. Композиция была использована для рекламы сети австралийских магазинов во время Пекинских Олимпийских игр и в трейлеры игры «Принц Персии».
В это время Сиэ плотно сотрудничает с электронным дуэтом Zero 7. Её вокал появляется на трёх альбомах в песнях «Destiny» and «Distractions», «Somersault», «Speed Dial No. 2», «Throw it All Away», «You’re My Flame». В 2007 Сиэ выпускает в США мини-альбом "lady croissant", состоящий из записи живых выступлений и одной новой композиции "Pictures". Следом за ним на набирающем в то время силу интернет-магазине iTunes появляется эксклюзивный мини-альбом "day too soon", песни с которого в следующем году выходят на виниле под названием Some People Have Real Problems. Сиэ стали часто приглашать на телевидение, в том числе и на популярное шоу Джимми Киммел в прямом эфире, в заставке которого два года использовалась ремикс на её breathe me. Кавер на композицию 1981-го года Ray Davies i go to sleep для The Pretenders используется во многих заставках американских телешоу, рекламы. Для саундрека фильма «Секс в большом городе» Сиэ записала кавер how deep is your love на Bee Gees, названный "The Bird And The Bee. С музыкантом Lior Сиэ записала композицию i’ll forget you. Для «Flight of the Conchords» Сиэ дала вокал на песни «Carol Brown» и «You don’t have to be a Prostitute», с шведским певцом Peter Jöback она перепела песню Chris Isaak wicked game, а c Fatboy Slim — сотрудничала для песни never so big. Во время одного живого выступления Сиэ исполнила кавер на песню Britney Spears gimme more.
В 2010-м Сиэ со своим басистом Сэмуэлем Диксоном записала 4 песни для альбома Christina Aguilera Bionic: i am, all i need, you lost me, stronger than ever. Сиэ назвала эти песни, отличающиеся по мелодичному звучанию от всего электронного альбома «красивыми», а Кристина считает их «сердцем всей пластинки».
В июне 2010 Сиэ выпустила обещанный четвёртый альбом we are born. Композиция you’ve changed стала самый продаваемым синглом Сиэ поскольку была включена в саундтрек сериала «Дневники вампира». Кавер на песню группы The Church under the milky way использован в рекламе автомобилей класса люкс Линкольн 2010-го года. Специально для третьей части успешного фильма «Сумерки» Сиэ сочинила балладу my love, использованную в сцене, где Эдвард дарит Белле кольцо.
В 2008 Сиэ рассказала о своей бисексуальности: «Я никогда этого не скрывала. Люди подняли шумиху по этому поводу, потому что я только сейчас достигла успеха».
Она была включена в список открыто гомосексуальных эстрадных исполнителей в июне 2009 года. В 2009 она также была признана одной из самых влиятельных геев и лесбиянок Австралии. Сейчас она встречается с девушкой JD Samson из группы Le Tigre.
Сиэ, являясь вегетарианкой, недавно снялась в рекламе со своей собакой Пантерой для организации PETA Australia, призывающую любителей животных к стерилизации и кастрации своих питомцев. Она призывает людей кастрировать своих домашних животных, чтобы предотвратить бесчисленное размножение нежелательных животных, которые затем оказываются в приютах.
Сиэ страдает диффузным токсическим зобом. Это аутоимунное заболевание, лечащееся заместительной гормональной терапией. 1993 Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.

Sia Kate Isobelle Furler (born 18 December 1975) or simply Sia, is an Australian pop, downtempo, and jazz singer and songwriter. In 2000, her single, "Taken for Granted" was a top 10 hit in the United Kingdom. Her 2008 album, Some People Have Real Problems peaked in the top 30 on the Billboard 200. At the ARIA Music Awards of 2009, she won the award for 'Best Music DVD' and received six nominations at the ARIA Music Awards of 2010 and won 'Best Independent Release' and 'Best Pop Release' for We Are Born and 'Best Video' for the song "Clap Your Hands".
In 2000, the Adelaide born singer scored a bolt from the blue Top 10 hit with her debut single, Taken For Granted. Pairing her unique Australian drawl with the strident strings from Sergei Prokofiev's 'Romeo & Juliet', the track was championed by Trevor Nelson and had Sia performing live on Jo Whiley's Radio 1 show. Her debut album, Healing Is Difficult, arrived to similar cries of ´the next big R&B thing'. Then, to cap it all, she added her jazzy slurs to two tracks on Zero 7's Simple Things album and became the unmistakable voice of the year's coolest down-tempo soundtrack. All the pieces for a phenomenal career seemed to be in place.
And then nothing.
"I went a bit mental after that," she explains, before letting out a laugh that would stop traffic. "No seriously, I needed therapy and everything." She recovers her composure only long enough to explain that going from hero to zero left her confused and frustrated and that it was a really enjoyable time, those moments of feeling like a 'Coolio'! But sadly they've passed now.
Brandishing both wicked humour and brutal honesty, it's sometimes hard to know exactly when Sia's joking. What is certain is that, with fragile beauty, a collaboration with Beck, and swathes of sensual soul-searching, 'Healing Is Difficult's long overdue follow-up, ‘Colour The Small One, rekindles thoughts of an all conquering phenomenon and will surely make her a 'coolio' once again.
From the lilting pianos and claustrophobic beats of Breathe Me, to Sunday's enchanting harmonium and breathless chant, it's a mesmerising album, undercut by the hope and despair of a little girl lost. Guilt, and how to deal with it, is the recurring theme with Sia's vulnerable voice as a beacon guiding through the pain and fear. "I call it easy Listening," snorts Sia trying to keep a straight face. "That's what I've been telling everyone." A mix of horror and hilarity dawns on her face. "Do you think it's depressing? It's not too depressing is it? It's meant to be nice, easy, music. Songy and lush."
Whatever it is, it certainly isn't the album anyone was expecting. The muffled rhythm track and sensual cinematic strings of Don't Bring Me Down are a stratosphere away from Taken For Granted's dogmatic march. Colour The Small One would never be mistaken for R&B. "I hated that," she cringes at the thought of the jazzy beats and soulful grooves of her first album being tagged 'urban'. But that's not why this album's different. "I just wanted to make an album that was more song driven, and I've changed as a person. After the first album I lost it, and this album reflects how I was feeling. The vocals are small and needy, because that's how I felt." She looks momentarily troubled before adding, "Plus, I'd tried to have a pop career and it didn't work, so I thought I'd try something else." More strangulated giggling. "If this doesn't work I'll fuck off back to Australia."
Sia's vocal talents extend all the way back to her earliest memory. But unlike most singers, she isn't exactly the product of her childhood influences. Born in Adelaide, she was raised on the hippiest street in Australia. "Everyone was a musician or worked for Circus Oz." Her parents played in a rockabilly band called The Soda Jerks, and her dad, "a real nut nut", briefly played guitar in uncle Colin's band Men At Work- yes, they of 'I Come From A Land Down Under' fame- but "they kicked him out for being too in yer face." Early appearances singing Shangri-Las songs aside, Sia's musical leanings didn't get serious until she joined jazz-funk bar band Crisp at 17. "We thought we were really cutting edge," she sniggers with a roll of her eyes, "but we were trying way too hard."
In fact, Sia credits the biggest influence on both her and Colour The Small One as touring with Zero 7. "That's when I actually started listening to music," she says with a grimace of embarrassment. "All the other music I'd listened to in my life had been incidental; in clubs, cars, lifts. I only owned 2 CDs: The Jackson 5 anthology and Jeff Buckley's Grace. While we were on tour, the Zero 7 guys were always talking about artists I'd never heard of, so I bought a Discman and started listening to their James Taylor, Nick Drake, Harry Neilson, Randy Newman and Django Bates CDs. And it all just really blew me away."
Colour The Small One's lyrical roots, however, run much deeper. After three years fronting Crisp, Sia packed her bags and headed off with an open ended ticket on a round the World trip. After enjoying colourful times in some unusual places, she agreed to meet up in London with the man she describes as her 'first true love'. A week before she arrived, he was run down and killed by a black cab on Kensington High Street.
"Nearly everything on the first album was about that," she says, her chirpy facade slipping. "I was pretty fucked up after Dan died. I couldn't really feel anything. I could intellectualise a lot of stuff; that I had a purpose, that I was loved, but I couldn't actually feel anything. The last album was very deflective. This one's very exposing. I think that's the difference between the two albums, the first was intellectualising, this one is feeling." Catching herself being uncharacteristically serious, she quickly deflects with a half chuckle of, "and I'd quit drinking. That was probably what it was."
Bully, the track she wrote with Beck has similarly serious roots. "There was this kid at school who I used to be really cruel to, and I've felt bad about it ever since. It got to the point where I was having nightmares about it. So I wanted to write a sorry song." Thankfully, the collaboration itself had happier origins. "The last date of the Zero 7 tour was a festival at the Universal Amphitheatre in LA and Beck was on the same bill. Next thing he's ringing Zero 7's management asking if I'd like to duet with him." Understandably she said yes, and found herself on stage singing 'You're The One That I Want' from Grease. "I suggested it as a joke; but we changed the major to a minor, made it really slow and turned it into a bit of a country stalker anthem."
The Beck and Zero 7 connections- Sia's already recorded two more tracks to their next album - give the biggest clues to ‘Untitled’ and the giggling Australian's current intentions. "I don't want to be a superstar, doing all that wibbly-wobbly stuff. It's too emotionally stressful; photo shoots always make me want to have plastic surgery. I just wanted to write an album that was me: a small, weird, needy freak. It's a slow burner, but it's honest."
Colour The Small One was released in the UK on 12th January 2004.
And then, she came back with her new album Some People Have Real Problems, released on 8 January 2008. A little bit different from her previous albums, the new album received good reviews, although some critics and fans didn't really like the new "a little bit more pop" direction.
The first single Day Too Soon was released on 12 November 2007 in the UK and was followed by The Girl You Lost to Cocaine on the 21st April 2008 and later followed by Soon We'll Be Found which was released on 13 October 2008. Soon We'll Be Found got the best reviews because of its music video. In the music video, Sia sings while signing the lyrics in American Sign Language.
Sia worked with Christina Aguilera on her new album Bionic and the new collaboration has produced four tracks including the soulful ballad "You Lost Me". The album was released June 8, 2010.
