Album of the Week: Sia – Reasonable Woman

No, this isn’t gentle singer-songwriter or edgy Indie. Sometimes you just need some quality singalong pop and this week we’re highlighting the return of a master of the form. Aussie Sia hasn’t produced a full-length original album since 2016 (focusing on one-off soundtrack contributions and her interesting Music soundtrack, all of which we enjoyed) but she’s back on form here. We can’t say it better than AllMusic: “Oversized singalong anthems and addictive dance cuts share space as she does her thing: focused, hardened, and hungry, she balances bleeding vulnerability with an intense drive to prove herself once again as one of the premier songwriters and inimitable vocalists of her generation.” Love the Kylie and Labrynth colabs!

New Zealand Net Radio plays a song from our irregularly updated #albumoftheweek every hour from 9am to 12pm. Listen in @tunein at http://tun.in/sfAtE or on the web player.

New Music Friday: 19th October 2018

Its Friday so its time for five brand new tracks to get their first spin on the hour every hour from 9am. We’ll keep playing these tracks on New Zealand Net Radio, home of streaming radio ad free 24/7 throughout New Zealand.

After a bit of a break Sia reminds us that she’s “Still Here”, great new Kiwi music from Maggie Rogers (a superb track from her promised debut album next January) as well as superb music from Ella Mai, Meg Mac and Jess Glynne ( a great all female lineup this week).
