I tried to find the thread for the new album to post this and was surprised there wasn't one. Sia's next album, This Is Acting is expected to be released this year. No release date has been announced yet for the album, but the lead single Alive (originally presented for Adele) is coming at the end of the month. Sia Working on Documentary About Herself With Husband Erik Anders LangBy Mitchell Peters | September 11, 2015 2:08 PM EDT Sia Working on Documentary About Herself With Husband Erik Anders Lang Enigmatic singer and songwriter Sia is co-directing a documentary about her life with with husband Erik Anders Lang, Deadline reports. The documentary -- reportedly titled Untitled Sia Documentary Project -- will be one of the first projects under the newly formed Los Angeles-based production company Pictures, Pictures, which was recently announced by Lang and producer Ryland Aldrich. The Sia doc, which is pre-production, will offer a never-before-seen look at the artist's mysterious life, according to Deadline. Lang has worked on film projects for Serato, Louis Vuitton, Hollister, The Guggenheim, Honda, MTV, Pharrell, Public Enemy and TED. The 10 Steps Sia Took To Becoming a Pop Star Sia confirmed the news by tweeting a link to the Deadline story from her official account on Friday, Sept. 11. Billboard has reached out to Pictures, Pictures representatives for further details. As previously reported, Sia showed up at international film festival Venice Days to dish about her new film project Sister, which she's written and will direct, for her frequent collaborator Maddie Ziegler. Sia Explains Why She's Directing Her Maddie Ziegler Screenplay at Venice Days Based on a one-page story she wrote eight years ago, Sia said, "I was too embarrassed to tell anyone I wanted to make a movie, because I thought it would be seen as a vanity project, because I was a singer. ... And then last year after I made the 'Chandelier' video, I realized that I was pretty good at directing, so I felt a little bit braver." In other Sia news, there's this tweet. |

Cool idea for an album, all songs that were intended for other artists.

I wonder what this "movement" is. Could be really interesting or preachy and annoying.

"Movement" could just be in reference to the music itself. Like what composers (used to?) call compositions.

I am anxious to hear this. I liked Chandelier and that's about it from her last album, but am absolutely slayed by Let Your Tears Fall on PBP, so if that's any indication of what to expect, this girl is gonna slay me again.

From the interview, one more confirmed track: "Bird Set Free," another Adele reject. Most if not all are rejects, including pitches to Adele, Rihanna, Shakira, Beyoncé, Demi, and Katy.

I haven't seen any confirmation, but apparently Maitre Gims said that before approving this, Sia asked if she could keep it and release a solo version. Not sure if it'll make the album though.

From what I've read about this song it wasn't a reject. Both Adele and Rihanna wanted it but she ended up keeping it for herself.
And personally, as much as I like Adele, I can't see her nailing this song at all!

From what I've read about this song it wasn't a reject. Both Adele and Rihanna wanted it but she ended up keeping it for herself. On Ryan Seacrest's show this morning, she confirmed she wrote the song for Adele's album because she really wanted to hear Adele sing one of her songs; when Adele told her she wasn't using it, Sia asked if she could pitch it to Rihanna and Adele gave her blessing as long as her demo vocals were deleted; when Rihanna rejected it, Sia then kept it for herself. |

I think Adele would have done a more soulful version of those big notes, but tbh it's probably not the smartest choice for an artist who recently had their vocal chords reconstructed.

She's struck gold by getting booked by SNL the week that Trump is hosting it. All eyes shall be on the back of her head and his front.

I love "Alive" but I am praying for another "Clap Your Hands". If she release that song now, rather than five years ago, it should go straight to the top IMO.

If "Alive" could pulled the real Adele single from the No. 1 position (well, with a phenomenal video), that would be interesting!
