Sia - ‘Bring It To Me’

Firstly, commiserations to C W Stoneking, whose nomination in the ‘Breakthrough Artist (Album)’ category was bumped after a calculations error. (Update: word from the man himself is that he was ineligible since his last album was already nominated for an Aria). Secondly, congratulations to Sia, who has is now a contender in said category for her album Some People Have Real Problems alongside her previously-announced nomination for ‘Best Music DVD.’

To commemorate her new nomination, I’ve been sent what is ostensibly an Australian-exclusive. ‘Bring It To Me’ is an outtake from the Some People Have Real Problems sessions, which is largely unreleased except “maybe as a b-side on one of the formats somewhere internationally.” Regardless, I’d not heard it and I’m fairly sure anyone outside of the Sia fanclub won’t have heard it either.

So is it worth hearing? It’s an odd track that mixes Sia’s twee-pop tendencies with a Spaghetti Western backdrop and a chorus that shoots for Santigold. ‘Bring It To Me’ not as good as ‘Buttons’ for sure, but I actually think they should’ve made room for this cut on the album. What do you think?

  1. Yep, it should have made the album instead of some of the more boring crap on there.

  2. Anthony says:

    Hey, that’s a pretty neat song. It would have fit in the album easily, maybe like a bridge between her softer songs and the quirky songs.

  3. James says:

    CW got bumped cause its his 2nd record, he got nominated for heaps of awards for his last album.

  4. Matt Hickey says:

    @Sophie and Anthony, yeah this song should’ve made the cut. I like it the more I hear it.

    @James, the official word I received from Sia’s people is that there was a calculation error and she was meant to be nominated all along. I’m just going on that…

  5. The Breakthrough Artist category is for an album that debuts in the top 50 from an artist who has not received an Aria nomination previously – which I did for King Hokum (best blues & roots album) in 2007. Jungle Blues still has four nominations in this year’s Arias (Best Blues & Roots, Best Independent Release, Best Male Artist, Best Cover Art).

  6. Matt Hickey says:

    @ C W, that’s cool. Was only going on the info I got from Inertia and I guess they were mistaken. Have fixed the post now. All the best at the awards buddy.
