Hot & Massive tune of the week (week 47)

Sia - You've changed / Under the milky way

This week, 2 new Sia tunes are Hot & Massive Tune of the Week. We just couldn't choose, sorry about this.

Sia is my (Cinr) favorite singer for about 10 years. I first heard her remarkable voice in club Privilige in Ibiza when John Digweed or Dave Seaman spinned the Different Gear remix of her track "Drink to get drunk" and it became my ultimate holiday / summertune. Around that time the debut album of Zero 7 was released and I went to see them perform at various locations. Destiny and Distractions were sublime songs.

According to me, Sia's last album "Some people have real problems" was her best album and 6 (!!) singles entered our All 77 Raar chart.

I freaked out when I received a link on Twitter with the new song "You've changed" this week.
"You've changed" is a new song from her upcoming album "We are born". An uptempo tune that could easily boost her commercial breakthrough. Sounds familiar? You're correct.; the original version was recorded with Lauren Flax, but that version just didn't give me goosebumps. The updated version, with Nick Valensi from The Strokes on guitar, sounds much better.

"Under the milky way" was made exclusively for a television commercial for the new lincoln mkt suv. One word; Wow!
Her interpretation is so good, that it sounds just as great as the original version by the Church.

Hope you all enjoy this rather personal approach of the hot & Massive Tune this week. If not, bollocks. I don't care that you have bad taste ;)
