SIA
This Is Acting
Australia's alt-
sweetheart SIA
follows up the roaring
success of 2014's
1000 Forms of Fear
with her seventh
studio album
This Is Acting
. All tracks
were written by SIA for other artists,
but for one reason or another SIA
herself ended up recording them;
this is how the musician derived the
playful album title. Belters abound –
don't wait on this one.

IN THE SPOTLIGHT ON JB HI-FI NOW
Just in time
to kickstart
your new
year, David
Bowie has
released his
26th studio
album, titled
Blackstar
. It's only
seven tracks long but is full
up with the kind of ethereal,
inspirational, terrifying and
strange beauty which has
made the Englishman an
icon since the early 1960s.
Absolutely not to be missed!

spirituality and humanism,
Hymns

tinged achievement. Bloc Party
are back.
