Like, she's an established artist and the last two albums feel so.... Shallow. I know you say "not taken seriously" and "not really about what she's capable of as an artist" but that is literally the definition of an album made for money. I feel the contract behind it. And her creativity was so present in her past videos, and now they all look so similar.. sia doesnt want to be famous. she made 1000 forms of fear to get out of her contract. she did not quit cause peopel begged her not to, so she made This Is Acting, but she prefers to be a songwriter so this is kinda like a "get out of fame" album Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laceface 2,964 Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Love this album. I kinda feel like this was the original video concept before they decided to put Sean Paul on the track. Definitely her managements decision. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't say 1000 Forms Of Fear was a shallow album made for money, Sure she had a huge hit on that album but she did have a connection with it and she was telling a story that's why the videos were similar. I personally find it like a darker version of her old material, the visuals aren't that much different from what she's put out prior to that but in a good way. I agree with what you said about This is Acting, it's sort of like a pop re release of her last album and the theme is starting to get too dragged out. Lets hope she doesn't stop and maybe release something more fresh in the future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Alive video is just tragic Alive wasn't the greatest of her videos, but I must say.. the lyrics video was more interesting haha. 1 hour ago, Slavi said: It's a cute tune indeed. But nothing special.. I just feel like Sia is wasting her talent. Her old work is so much better, much more real. I think Sia is very aware of her talent and has taken advantage of it. Look at how many songs she was written for big names. This Is Acting is obviously not supposed to be Sia's 100% feelings. We know it's a bunch of demos rejected by those artists. And I find it funny that her demos are more interesting and beautiful than MANY other popstars and their 30 people involved in the songwriting/producing of so called "Albums". This is another one of Sia's many talents, and I'm glad we get to have this material, as well as songs like Lullaby of course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Monster Kid 13,140 Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Maddie was great for the last era but she needs to move on and challenge herself visually. It's starting to feel...reductive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And her creativity was so present in her past videos, and now they all look so similar.. I kinda disagree. As a songwritter, if you create a song that you think is really good, you want this song to be sung or played on the radio. And that's exactly what Sia is doing with This Is Acting. Most of the songwritters would have to send the song to numerous artists but Sia's uniqueness is that she's not only a songwritter, but also a famous singer. She said numerous time that she reserves her best song to the A-lister singers. However, when none of them want the song, she'd rather keep it for herself than give it to a B-lister. But at the end of the day, she still wants the song to be played, so the only way is to release them. If she wouldn't have told us that the album is composed of rihjected songs, most of you wouldn't have any problems with it (except the lack of cohesiveness).
