"Elusive" is a word often applied to Sia, the Australian singer/songwriter who found massive success in the USA with 2014's 1000 Forms Of Fear .<br />"I was a broken thing...had a voice/But I could not sing...You held me down," sings an artist as well-known for concealing her face as she is for her big, textured voice or her writing chops, which have benefited the likes of Katy Perry, Kelly Clarkson and Rihanna.<br />Several tracks on 25 and Acting, including Bird, share a co-writer/producer: the intuitive and prolific Greg Kurstin, whose extensive work with Sia predates his collaboration with Adele.<br />Notably, his other contributions on Acting are to lighter and more groove-driven tracks, including the throbbing, overtly sexy Move Your Body and the fiercely funky, exhilarating Sweet Design , which will get you moving, indeed, if you have a pulse.
