Soon We’ll Be Found’is the beautiful new single from Sia, to be released on 13th October. Taken from the album ‘some people have REAL problems’, the song is a highly emotive ballad which perfectly showcases Sia’s unique voice.
The track was co-written with Rick Nowels, whose writing credits include many chart hits, such as Madonna’s ‘The Power of Goodbye’ and Dido’s ‘White Flag’ and is accompanied by an extraordinary video, directed by Claire Carre. Sia and friends tell the story of the song through dramatic sign language, which takes on a life of its own in the form of beautifully choreographed silhouettes.
Sia says, “I’ve always been obsessed with the beauty of sign language. The movement and expression just appears, to ignorant-hearing-me as a dance… a beautiful, emotive dance. But the real beauty is that, hidden in these perfect shapes, is communication.â€
Since the release of ‘some people have REAL problems’ Sia has enjoyed global success with the album charting as the highest new entry at No.26 on the US Billboard chart earlier this year; the album’s hidden track ‘Buttons’ also caused huge excitement when celebrity blogger Perez Hilton leaked the video online. Over 1m people viewed the clip on YouTube and Sia’s online following can be further confirmed by the phenomenal 10m song plays she has gained through her MySpace page.
Sia, originally from Australia but now based in New York, continues to work hard on the road – this year she has undertaken North American and UK tours, including 22 sold out shows, and also made her first appearance at V Festival.
In addition to her London Shepherds Bush Empire show on 9th October, which sold out three months in advance, Sia will play a further seven dates throughout the UK later this year;
