I have been listening to We Are Born, Sia‘s latest album uncontrollably for a few weeks now. Ever since hearing “You’ve Changed” (and watching the adorable video), I’d been looking forward to hearing the album in its entirety. Her undeniably soulful voice in addition to her ability to write surprisingly dark pop songs makes for a winning combination. There is truly something in this album for everyone: highs and lows, danceable moments followed by emotional ballads. These tracks are the ones I couldn’t get out of my head, and will surely leave you hooked and wanting more. It has definitely become an integral part of my summer soundtrack.

Sia – Never Gonna Leave Me
Sia – Clap Your Hands

Two weeks ago I introduced the first issue of The Drop, and now we’re back with the second issue filled with lovely tracks that will carry you all the way until Monday. There’s something for everyone, Prince samples, intense electro, as well as some mellow folkiness. We have a lot of new music to bring you next week, and it’s sure to make your iTunes overflow. Cheers, until then.

Only Children – When Doves Get High
Boy & Bear – Mexican Mavis
Shooting Horses – Bongo Man
Sia – Clap Your Hands (Diplo Remix)
Mesita – Living/Breathing

I found out about this video via the couch sessions, and had only heard a different mix of this track prior. I’ve only had brief glimpses of Sia before (via Zero 7 and that one song she had, “Breathe Me”, which was so epic), but her voice is phenomenal and as it turns out she’s freaking adorable too. This video had me smiling the whole way through, and the song is swell to boot!
