Music (Songs From And Inspired By The Motion Picture)
After co-creating the music video for her blockbuster 2014 hit “Chandelier,” Sia got the directing bug. The Adelaide native co-wrote a screenplay with children’s book author Dallas Clayton, and eventually signed on as director. The drama follows a recovering drug dealer named Zu (Kate Hudson) who becomes the sole guardian of her autistic sister Music (Maddie Ziegler). At some point during filming, *Music* became a musical, and who better to provide a powerhouse soundtrack? The album features guest appearances from Labrinth, Burna Boy, and David Guetta, but let’s be honest: There’s no competing with a voice like that.

Sia's 'Music' album maintains a competent level of craft but lacks a big hit to pull it together.
Since the one-two punch of her late-2010s mainstream conquests 1000 Forms of Fear and This Is Acting, Sia locked into prolific auto-pilot mode, churning out track after track of distinctly "Sia" anthems for multiple soundtracks, guest appearances, and one-off singles.
The star-studded album from her film about autism should be safer ground for Sia, but even here there are pitfalls
