MTV, Sia & More (Well Kept Secrets…)
Last night I had the opportunity to attend an MTV Live taping, featuring Australian-born, UK based singer Sia. I’ve been a fan of Sia since I first heard her earlier work with chillout masters Zero 7. On the promotional rounds before her show tonight at The Phoenix, she stopped in to MTV on Tuesday night to perform three songs, including her current single “Clap Your Hands” which is climbing the charts, doing particularly well in Europe. In Facebooking, and uploading pics, I’m surprised at the reaction I got from some people – “Sia who?” Do I assume everyone knows and loves Sia because I do? Of course not, but I cannot help but think she is a well-kept secret. For now, anyway. So take this post as a friendly suggestion; if you’ve not heard of Sia, give her a try. She’s on iTunes, and her forthcoming disc We Are Born, produced by Greg Kurstin (Lily Allen, Little Boots, Ladyhawke, Britney Spears) promises to be her biggest success yet. I promise you, dear reader, I am not wrong on this one!
