Is Sia's "Reasonable Woman" Her Best Album Yet? Album Review
Sia's back, and she's bringing all the feels. From the empowering anthems like "Little Wings" to the raw vulnerability of "Rock and Balloon", this album is a journey. Get ready to dance, cry, and maybe even find a little bit of yourself in these tracks.
It has been 10 years since the world was introduced to Siata "1000 Forms of Fear." The album ya gabatar da # 1 a kan U.S. Billboard 200 da aka ƙaddamar da duniya-shekara singa "Chandelier," yin Sia wani gida name. Tun da haka, Sia ya rufe "This Is Acting" a 2016, wasu Christmas-themed wurare, wani music drama "Music - Songs from and Inspired by the Motion Picture" a 2021, kuma mafi ba ably, wani samar da Labrinth (British singer, songwriter, da record producer da aka sani don aiki a kan soundtrack na HBO series "Euphoria") da Diplo (co-creator da lead member na electronic dancehall music project Major Lazer) a kan "Labrinth, Sia & Diploents... LSD", wanda ya yi na farko a 2019. Duk da haka, ba kawai May 3, 2024, cewa Sia released her 10th studio album, "Reasonable Woman", through Monkey Puzzle and Atlantic Records, marking her return to solo album, a venture that has been in the works since 2020.
Gama da Jesse Shatkin da Greg Kurstin (mai sani ga aiki a kan '30' na Adele), "Reasonable Woman" yana da cikakken lissafi na ma'aikata. Album yana da cikakken lissafi na 15 tare da wani runtime na kowace 50 minti. Duk da haka, lokaci yana da matsala a matsayin Sia keeps listeners engaged with unexpected production and sudden changes in tempo.
The album ya fara tare da "Little Wings," co-written tare da Jesse Shatkin, wani tsawon lokaci samar da Sia. This track serves as another motivational anthem, featuring lyrics like "Don't give up, keep trying / I know soon you’ll be flying" and "I know you can't stop crying / But tears dry when you’re flying.” Putting it in one line with 'Unstoppable' and 'Bird Set Free' from her 2016 "album, the track cleverly uses pauses in the accompaniment to emphasize key lyrical moments. The vocal harmonies are exceptionally layered, creating a powerful chorus effect – it’s like 20 Sias ya zo a cikin lokaci.
Following this, the album presents the unapologetically braggadocious "Immortal Queen" featuring Chaka Khan. The track takes us on a time machine to both the future and the past, where the Queen is always ‘queening’. “Queen Victoria, Queen of Sheba, Queen of bees, yeah, I'm the queen diva." It's as if a Midjourney prompt said 'give me an immortal queen, more immortal, more queen’ to amplify the slay factor by ten.
It's very fitting to introduce "Dance Alone" with Kylie Minogue right after – two Aussie queens on a quintessential dance track that encourages listeners to let loose. Just throw your hands up and sing: ‘I just wanna dance alone’... 32 times in a row, to be precise. Yes, you read that right.
The tempo slows for "I Had a Heart," the perfect post-breakup song for cathartic release, ending sharply on the word ‘STOP’. It's as if Sia yana ce: "Mai da lokaci don la'akari, amma lokacin da ya zama, kuma yanzu yana da lokaci don ci gaba".
Sa'an nan yana "Gimme Love", wani nau'i-tallace-tallace tare da wani ci gaban, dramatic kwarewa karkashin singa version. Fans za su zo tare da lyrics "Gimme love, gimme love, gimme love, baby." The track rufe tare da wani shift a beats, signalling wani matsaloli a hali.
"Towards The Sun" ya bayyana wani sabon shaida, tare da Sia sanyaya game da cewa za su tafi zuwa jiki bayan ya sauke wani low mataki. The melody a cikin chore echoes "Titanium," samar da wani kwarewa mai ban sha'awa da kuma ƙaryawa, karfafawa da wani '80s-style instrumental outro.
“Incredible” is one of the many songs that Sia and Labrinth ya aiki a kan LSD. Na farko ya nuna da yaushe a cikin farko trailer ga black comedy " Assassination Nation" a watan Satumba 2018, shi ba a karshe ba a cikin soundtrack ko LSD album. Duk da haka, shi ya samu wani yanki a "Reasonable Woman," da kuma ƙaddamar da Labrinth's m vocals ne, well... incredible.
Da haka, ba mu iya magana game da album ba tare da "I Forgive You", wani horo na 2014 samar da artist Gims (ko Maitre Gims) da rubutu "Je te pardonne. Sia's deeper, emotional vocal delivery sends shivers through the body.
Just after you are done sobbing, comes ”Wanna Be Known," with a perfect balance of chill-step beat and melancholic tunes. Think driving on the Pacific Coast Highway, feeling the breeze in your hair and catching sun rays with your hands, wrapped in Sia's belting chorus. The samar da a nan ne mai kyau.
"One Day" ne mai ban mamaki, wani Bollywood-esque track inda Sia takes you on a trip of a lifetime, let it be Milan, Cairo, Paris, or Jamaica. You may or may not know the language, culture, or dance moves, but you are so high on happiness and filled with a sense of freedom that you simply embrace the moment.
Mai da muhimmanci shirye-shirye a kan album shi ne "Fame Won't Love You" tare da Paris Hilton da "Champion," da wani m samar da Tierra Whack, Kaliii, da Jimmy Jolliff, mai ban sha'awa da 'The Greatest.' Benny Blanco ya ƙaddamar da sha'awa a 'Go On', da kuma Rosalía aka rubuta a matsayin daya daga cikin mashawarci a "I Had a Heart."
The album closes with "Rock And Balloon," a raw and vulnerable track with lyrics navigating a journey from deep emotional turmoil to hopeful, pure, child-like metaphors: 'You are my dog to the bone / You are the place I call home'. The musical accompaniment intentionally creates an atmosphere of discomfort, enhancing the emotional depth of Sia'ya'yan sauti tare da cracking sauti da m sniffling, wanda shi ne fiye da sauki m.
Dangane, "Reasonable Woman" yana aiki a matsayin soundtrack ga waɗanda ke tafiya ta cikin m aikace-aikacen, samar da wani daidaitaccen mix na jima'i, motsa jima'i, da dancing shirye-shirye, duk da wani matasa na matasa cewa akwai wani mutum a kanka don ƙirƙirƙirar ku daga jiki.
Kama wasu songs za a iya zama ba tare da ikon status na zamani hits kamar ‘Titanium’, ‘Cheap Thrills’, ko ‘Chandelier’, album ne a solid collections, showcasing Sia's incredible vocals and impressive production. With that said, "Reasonable Woman" earns a 7.6/10 rating from PopFiltr.
