Some People Have Real Problems is Sia Furler’s last album, released on January 8, 2008. And what an album ! It’s inconceiveble not to mention it on this site…

Her music was principally trip-hop so far (let’s not forget she was part of the band Zero 7), in which we could listen to a pretty voice in songs quite smooth and soothing (especially in “Colour the Small One“), and here we easily recognize her humour (”Death by Chocolate” and “Playground“) and perfect voice skills that characterize her so well. But this third record is definitely my favorite one, since it reveals with grace and elegance Sia’s voice which turns out to be powerful, really heart wrenching and above all awesome, particularly in “Day Too Soon“, “Soon We’ll Be Found” and “Lentil“. Anyway, this album may have lost its trip-hop influences but we discover another facet of Sia’s voice, what a great surprise !
