Sia Kate Isobelle Furler, to use the name her musician parents gave her, already has a staggering track record. If her name itself isn’t familiar to millions, her voice undoubtedly is. In 2000, the Adelaide born singer scored a bolt from the blue Top 10 hit with her debut single “Taken For Granted.” 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. She has written songs with her bassist Sam Dixon and Christina Aguilera for Christina’s forthcoming album. Sia confirmed on her website’s blog to have created four “beautiful” songs and calls Aguilera her “best friend.” The album is set for a Spring 2010 release, and includes collaborations with M.I.A., Santigold, and Le Tigre.
Her 2003 CD “Colour the Small One” spawned the singles “Breathe Me” and “Where I Belong“. In 2005, “Breathe Me” was beginning to receive international notice with appearances on the series finale of HBO’s “Six Feet Under” and the broadcast of the 2006 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. The song is currently being used as the backing music in the tv spots for the movie “Remember Me” starring Robert Pattinson, out in theaters today. You can listen to the song above.
