    Known for her past collaborations with English electronica band Zero 7 and more recently with Christina Aguilera, Australian artist Sia Furler shines bright on her own on her newest release.

    There's definitely a place for We Are Born in our post-Gaga pop landscape. The album's accessible tunes might not stand up to in-depth analysis, but they stand a good chance of lighting up cheesy club nights everywhere.

    Sia's latest full-length We Are Born, is, in a word, confusing. [Summer 2010, p.85]

    I don't get some of the 'professional' reviewers? This album is in many, if not in every way, an extraordinary album. Sia's voice is like the heading & the leading thing here. She do have her very own voice and this is proven on this record. The lyrics a chunky, funny and just real! We need more of that kind. You can hear that she's having fun on this one. This is her first uptempo album, & she's doing it really great. This album is a summer cracker. I've heard it over & over again that summer 2010, and still doing it today. What can I say; It makes me feel comfortable with lots of things. This album puts a smile on my face. Still to remember, that there's songs like 'Be Good To Me' & 'I'm In Here' + her cover of Madonna's 'Oh Father' - these are the downtempos genuine songs on the album. You have to listen to this album! Highly recommended! Shortly: The voice works, the lyrics are amazing and the music is just so tripping forward the joy to remember this one. 10/10 in all. First & foremost cause' of its originality & lots of joyfulness and the confusing thing, which we all know & have been caught up in a awkward moment, and of course when it is in its best & at the right time.… Expand

    While this may not be Sia's strongest album, it is still fantastic in its own right. Instead of her chilled, hip hop beginnings, or jazz-fuelled pop of her last attempt, this is first and foremost a pop album, and should be treated as such. It is inventive (compared to most mainstream pop) but still lacks the bravery of her last three albums.… Expand
