I actually stumbled across this a few weeks ago while reading through Sia's twitter feed. I really like this song and will definitely be keeping an eye on her.
 
It's great song, it's really Sia's dark and twisted songwriting at its best. Her voice is so powerful too, really blown away by this.
 
Love this song cant stop listening,i would have definitly loved to see it on Rihannas Latest album it would have been a great song for her!

You can just tell Sia wrote this for Rihanna, and Def Jam gave it to a newcomer cause it's not Ghetto enough for Rihanna anymore. It's a good track.
 
Is it just me or does everyone who gets a track from Sia (maybe with the exception of Christina) try to emulate her vocals?
Anyway, it's a pretty good song, looking forward to hearing more from this girl.

It's not just you. Dreading the day Beyonce ever picks up one of Sia's tracks. Maybe Sia is in the studio telling them "DO IT EXACTLY LIKE THIS!" or maybe they listen to the demo with her vocals, and just can't stray from the script.

I think it's the latter. I remember when Sia covered "Oh Father", she was a bit annoyed that Madonna didn't allow her to change anything about it so I doubt she would ask anyone to just copy her version of a song.
 
Another one buying their way into a music career.
Pass.

Who cares? It's a great song. And it's called the music business for a reason. If she used her own resources to buy a good song then she's obviously committed to making it so good for her!
 
Right, because unknown singers working with famous songwriters and/or producers must have no talent of their own.
 
There's something really impressive about this girl, something more impressive than her amazing voice!

The 'Kill, Fuck, Marry' video is very Lana Del Rey but I love the song and 'Glowing' is such a tune!
 
Everything about this screams band-wagon jumping - get Sia's song, Lana Del Rey's aesthetic and Neon Hitch's look and, voila!, pop star. I can't feel any personality behind it and the voice, while definitely impressive, is not distinctive enough either. She'll probably be big in the same instantly replaceable way Rita Ora currently is, which is fine, I guess, just a massive waste of an above-average song.

And now I've got Kill, Fuck, Marry trapped in my head, before bed lol.
