Take A Snapshot Inside Of My Soul

After releasing a slew of genius mash-ups last year and, more recently, this 'collaboration' with Deadmau5, it seems travelling circus performer-turned-popstar Neon Hitch is finally set to release some music of her own.

Two dub-infused remixes of a track called 'Am I Dreaming?' recently surfaced and now comes 'Get Over You', the first single from her debut album.

'Get Over You' is a soaring pop-ballad produced by Benny Blanco and written by Sia and, although I'm not entirely convinced that this is the song to break her into the mainstream, those credits make me optimistic for the calibre of songmaking on the album.

Stealing Hearts Was Your Past-time

A friend of mine recently described Aussie singer Sia's new single 'You've Changed' as sounding like 'Anastacia for indie kids'.

The case as this may be, I'm quite enamoured with the track and beginning to think this up-tempo, cheery Sia might be every bit as interesting as the pained, ballad-toting chanteuse I first fell for.

The video for the track is, like all Sia's videos, top notch:

She's Changed

Aussie singer-songwriter Sia Furler has been a firm favourite of mine ever since I first stumbled upon 'Destiny', a gorgeous track by English ambient pop-makers Zero 7 that featured her vocals.

She's since garnered a cult following in her own right, thanks to a clutch of beautiful, heart-wrenching ballads like 'Soon We'll Be Found' and 'Breathe Me' (which soundtracked the rather excellent final sequence of HBO's 'Six Feet Under.)

In between penning songs for Christina Aguilera's forthcoming record, she's currently recording her own fourth studio album, 'We Are Born'. She recently leaked a new track through her Twitter, entitled 'You've Changed' and, frankly, the title couldn't be more fitting.

A funky dance-number that features an almighty guitar riff and sing-along chorus, it's certainly something of a departure from her typical output:



Seemingly, the track is in fact a re-working of a track she recorded with Detroit DJ Lauren Flax over a year ago:



I can't quite decide which version of the track I prefer but I'm curious to see if this apparent radical change of musical direction carries through to the rest of her new album.
