I'm so disappointed with how "Alive" did, I was sure that song was a smash. Notthing else I've heard so far from this album sounds nearly as hit worthy, which doesn't give me much hope for its success I took to "Alive" pretty quickly for a Sia song and wish it had done well to. Funny enough my local Top 40 station in Boston Kiss 108 is promoting and playing it now saing "New Music Sia "Alive". I also really like "Cheap Thrills" as well.

I know I should've known better but I was convinced Alive would be a smash for her.

Why aren't they releasing Reaper in iTunes? It's on Spotify but nowhere to be seen in iTunes top 100 and thought it'd easily enter. She's not gonna get any hits with this kind of mess

After Chandelier (and to a lesser extent, Elastic Heart), I really thought she was poised to be a star in her own rights, but she was a much better artist before radio caught on to her anyway, honestly, despite how great 1000 Forms Of Fear was.

Reaper is just like all the tracks that we've gotten. It's like, there nothing wrong with it. But it isn't amazing either. It just sounds like a random half-finished demo that Sia threw together. Nothing we've gotten so far can even remotely compare to the pop mastery that she displayed on Chandelier or Clap Your Hands.

Nothing we've gotten so far can even remotely compare to the pop mastery that she displayed on Chandelier or Clap Your Hands. I completely agree with this. It really seems just a collection of catchy songs with no soul. And what is with the releases? Every month another track has resurfaced we have probably heard half the album. What's the next single? It just seems a mess. I think sia forgets she really found a space in pop music last era. People really believe she has soul and a voice. She should have worked on her project as a statement, written and released pop songs that meant something to her and were personal. Instead she is just releasing fluff...I have heard 2 songs already about clubs and drinking. She is in the program. She doesn't even drink.

So that means if you know longer experience it that you can no longer write about it? Or if you yourself have never experienced it that you can't write about it?

Sia - This Is "Songs That Almost Get There And If You Listen You Will Know Exactly Why"
Just kidding. I love all the promos released so far. None is smash but all decent.

She looks awesome. I would love to see how she would look with long blonde hair.

I'm really liking "Unstoppable"... It's in my top three tracks we've heard so far from this project!

None of the songs released so far are good tbh. Unstoppable maybe stands out a little bit more, but nothing truly groundbreaking. Sia is no longer the sick individual she used to be before 1000 Forms of Fear.

Was she hiding her face while she was getting work done on it cuz... :kii:
But, seriously, it's nice to show people that she actually has a face and is not a blonde wig or paper bag or whatever. I actually miss that face.

Another song I can't picture who it was for. Every other track you can tell who it was meant for.
"Alive" - Adele "Bird Set Free" - Adele "Cheap Thrills" - Rihanna "Reaper" - Rihanna/Kanye West "One Million Bullets" - ? "Unstoppable"- ?

Perhaps people just haven't realized yet and the internet leaks are incoming.

The album is out in 1 week and is nowhere to be found on the Internet. I assume that if the album is taken to checkout, the register will not let the sale be processed yet (although a little birdy told me that using self checkout is a workaround for that). According to Twitter, it's been out in some Targets since Tuesday (1/19) so I believe it'll leak sooner than later.

I believe they say mention the library when ordering from there?) They got their copy in Thurs/Fri. I rented it at mine on Fri and noticed it was available at a couple other's, waiting to come in, or already rented. Someone messed up somewhere. lol

Someone uploaded snippets. Move Your Body and Sweet Design... Attachment DeletedI wonder what she tried to do with this album exactly, because it is incoherent from the beginning to the end. I did enjoy House On Fire tho.
