January 2016 is all about Australian music and when looking at excellence in Australian music, it's hard to look past Sia's contribution in 2015. The lead up to Sia's massive next release, her 7th This is Acting has been a perfect lead in. Alive is a great song, has a great video and has hung around on radio and video music channels for a number of months now. Bird Set Free, Cheap Thrills and One Million Bullets are also great pre-order "hype singles".
Not only has Sia successfully lead in a hyped January 29, 2016 This is Acting release date but her collaborations continue to excite and do damages on international charts.
Collaborations with dance king and long time collaborator David Guetta "Bang My Head" which was originally her track and then when Listen was re-released by Guetta got some Fetty Wap love and now the song has gone Top 10 in several European countries.
She also collaborated with Travie McCoy and disco legged Giorgio Moroder, where she was responsible vocally for the title track of his come back album featuring a killer vocalist line up.
Sia also scored a track on the highly successful Fifty Shades of Grey Soundtrack which went to number one in Australia and number one on the Billboard Year End chart for Soundtrack albums. Speaking of Soundtracks Sia also featured on the San Andres soundtrack with a haunting cover of "California Dreamin".
She wrote songs and featured on a Kanye track, wrote for Jessie J and her track on the Pitch Perfect 2 soundtrack and wrote songs for Shakira and Carly Rae Jepsen's highly regarded album.
Where Sia will land in my second part of the Hottest Songs of 2015 is anyone's guess but I reckon it will be rather high. Last year (2014) she was my number one track with Chandelier and her album 1,000 Forms of Fear was my Album of 2014.
Sia's 2015 it's a roll call of great achievements and when looking at Excellence in Australian Music, it's hard to look past the brilliant and inspiring Sia Furler from Adelaide.
