Review

Sia's album "This Is Acting," dropped on January 29, 2016, is a dazzling pop spectacle. The mind behind this gem wrote these songs with megastars like Adele, Beyoncé, Shakira, Rihanna, and Kanye West in mind, but when they passed on them, Sia stepped into the spotlight. It's almost like she's putting on a musical mask for each track, embodying the essence of those artists with her incredible versatility.

The album kicks off with the stirring ballad "Bird Set Free," setting an all-powerful tone. Then you've got "Alive" — a track originally penned for Adele, showcasing Sia's powerhouse vocals in all their glory. I can't get enough of "Cheap Thrills," a fun and infectious track meant for Rihanna that has turned into a huge hit. Each song feels like an energetic act of musical theater, pulling you into the drama and emotion. Despite some critics feeling the songs might lack a personal touch, "This Is Acting" triumphs with its bold sound and captivating performances. It stormed the charts, hitting number one in Australia and climbing to number four in the US Billboard 200, and it's all thanks to Sia's raw, emotive talent and knack for crafting catchy, heartfelt music. I adore how this album spotlights her genius as a songwriter and unmatched performer. - Sienna
