Sia confirms next album, “This is Acting”

PanARMENIAN.Net - Sia has revealed that she has already written and recorded the follow-up to her 2014 album 1000 Forms of Fear, Digital Spy reports.

The Australian star released her sixth studio album last summer, four years after her last record We Are Born.

The album's lead single 'Chandelier' went top 10 across the world, including the UK and USA.

Speaking to NME, the songwriter admitted that she had only intended to release 1000 Forms of Fear in order to "get out of my publishing deal".

"I was planning to be a pop songwriter for other artists. But my publishing deal was as an artist so I had to put one more album out. I didn't want to get famous so I kept all the songs I wanted and had a lot of fun making it," she explained, admitting that the album had spurred her on to make more music.

"I'm super productive. I have a full album ready to go and it's much more pop. I'm calling it This Is Acting because they are songs I was writing for other people, so I didn't go in thinking 'this is something I would say'."

The 'Elastic Heart' singer added: "It's more like play-acting. It's fun."

The full interview with Sia appears in the new issue of NME, out February 18.
