Some People Have Real Problems

Sia

Warm, jazz-tinged indie pop that captures a pre-fame Sia at her most intimate. Soulful piano ballads meet quirky, brass-flecked arrangements and raw vocal honesty.

It's the cozy, heartbreaking indie-soul record Sia made before she started wearing the giant wigs.

A warm, soulful collection of songs that balances quirky humor with deeply felt vulnerability.
