Why is Sia Furler making bland music now?

Considering her contributions to Zero 7 albums and her great solo albums, what happened?

She's recently done collaborations on the David Guetta song "Titanium", Flo Rida's "Wild Ones" are really bland uncreative pieces. Really disappointing.

Re: Why is Sia Furler making bland music now?

there's another David Guetta song she did called "She Wolf"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8GwL...eature=related
Also, these are collaborations. mostly w EDM songs, the singer doesn't really get any credit besides singing. She is supposidly working on a new album, so we'll have to wait to see what the solo stuff sounds like.

And IMO, if songs w David Guetta & Flo Rida can get her name out there to the general public & create hype around her next solo album, i'm all for it

Girl's gotta eat. "Clap Your Hands" was fine pop, but not terribly interesting.

I was imagining it was because of frustration in Ke$ha ripping off everything she's done, but because of exposure, people thinking that Sia was actually the one copying.

I don't know, Zero 7 was still pretty bland.

There is an advantage to following both Sia and Perez Hilton on Twitter


hopefully some of this will be out by the end of the year

Agreed. She's always sounded bland to me.

She probably decided she wanted to be able to make some money.

They play her song "Chandelier" all the time on the radio and she never shows her face on TV while performing

Chandelier is a very catchy song with good lyrics.

However, as much as I like Girls, I could've done without that Lena Dunham interpretation. It was kind of horrific.

Yeah her not showing her face is her thing. She also has a skin condition too, that makes her look much older than she does.

Well I think it is more to the point that you may not be into downtempo/chill music. Zero7's "When it Falls" is a really great Sunday morning, coffee sipping album but granted, you do need to be in the mood.

Also, someone with an Andrew Bird avatar should not be throwing words like bland around at other artists.

Her latest song sounds like "Halo" from Beyonce.
