Sia’s 2011 U.S. Tour Is Born
Sia has announced dates for her first North American tour of 2011.
The Australian pop singer/songwriter is touring in support of her fourth studio album, We Are Born.
Entertainment Weekly praised the album for mixing “cut-a-shag-rug funk, finger-snappy soul and squiggly disco … It’s party music with a heart.” We Are Born was released in 2010 as the follow-up to 2008’s Some People Have Real Problems.
