We Are Born

We Are Born is a pop, synth-pop and R&B album that marks a significant stylistic shift from Sia's earlier, downtempo and anti-folk work. The album combines upbeat, club-ready tracks like "Clap Your Hands" and "You've Changed" with emotionally expressive moments such as her cover of Madonna's "Oh Father", showcasing Sia's versatile vocal delivery across a range of moods and genres. Its production, led by Greg Kurstin, emphasises polished, danceable arrangements with playful touches including funk-inspired rhythms, disco elements, and synth-driven textures, resulting in a bright, energetic, and accessible sound that retains traces of her earlier, introspective style. ==Singles==
