Sia

Chandelier in 2014 marked a major expansion of Sia's recognition as a solo pop artist. She already had solo records, work with Zero 7 and successful songwriting for other singers behind her, so this was a shift in the scale and focus of attention. Her decision to keep Chandelier for herself gives the turning point a concrete creative choice. Listen alongside the earlier work for the same vocal intensity finding a different public setting, rather than a talent suddenly appearing from nowhere.
