Sia’s 1,000 Forms Of Facelessness
Sia Furler (pictured) is a 38-year-old Australian woman whose name you probably know, whose songs you almost certainly recognize, but whose face you probably don’t. For years, she’s written huge songs for the most visible of pop stars – Beyonce, Rihanna, and Katy Perry. Creating hits is her enormously lucrative day job and, according to a recent New York Times profile, she can toss them off in minutes. (David Guetta’s “Titanium†– forty minutes; Rihanna’s “Diamonds†– fourteen.) Monday, she puts out the mighty “1,000 Forms of Fear.” Not her first record, but in all the hype surrounding her, its release feels more like a debut than what it is: her sixth solo record.
