Sia Furler.

I literally just found out about her the other day. I was listening to one of my old favorite songs by Zero 7 called Destiny, and thought to myself... "who actually sings this?" Zero 7 collaborates with several different artists so I wasn't sure. I've loved Destiny for years since I watched an episode of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy when they played a fast dancy version of the track during the hectic makeover part of the show, then the original, soft and slow mix at the end when the reveals in the show were made. I loved the sound of this song and looked for months before I could find it, finally.


So, Sia. I downloaded several of her tracks when I found her and all I can say is wow. She has an amazing voice, and I was pleasantly surprised seeing her do a live rendition of one of my new favorite songs, The Girl You Lost to Cocaine, for a radio station. She sounds simply wonderful live.

If you've never heard of her, she's an Aussie vocalist. She was an unknown until she moved to the UK and began producing music there. She is also bisexual, and I read that on Ellen she said she never thought it was a big deal until people started talking and worrying about it. Well, why should she think its a big deal? Thats personal. Eh, I digress. But definitely check out this clip of her performing for KCRU live. She is just so cute, and sounds absolutely wonderful. This song is my new fav, on repeat in iTunes now!
