full of feel good tunes, we are born is produced by greg kurstin (who has worked with kylie, britney, lily allen, and even with sia before, on some people have real problems' death by chocolate).
starring none other than the strokes' nick valensi on guitar, sia describes her fourth album as: "the album I've been wanting to make since 'Colour the Small One', the album I've made when I've been hanging out with myself.’
featuring the single you've changed and clap your hands, sia also pays homage to madonna on this album with her cover of oh father.
