Sia - This Is Acting

Sia's seventh studio album, "This Is Acting," showcases her exceptional songwriting and vocal prowess. Released via Inertia, Monkey Puzzle, and RCA, the album features electropop and soul influences. The unique concept of the album revolves around songs originally written by Sia for other artists, including Adele and Rihanna, which were ultimately rejected. Notable tracks include the lead single "Alive," co-written by Sia, Adele, and Tobias Jesso Jr., and the chart-topping hit "Cheap Thrills," featuring Sean Paul.

Produced by Jesse Shatkin and longtime collaborator Greg Kurstin, "This Is Acting" received generally positive reviews for its bold production and Sia's powerful vocals. The album debuted at number four on the Billboard 200, marking Sia's highest first-week sales in the US. Critics praised the album's energetic and diverse sound, though some noted that the songs lacked personal depth. Experience Sia's compelling and dynamic artistry with "This Is Acting" on vinyl.
