Having unveiled the soaring and powerful ‘Alive’, a composition originally written for Adele, homegrown talent Sia Furler has now unveiled another single from her eagerly anticipated new album, This Is Acting.

What’s more, the album, which is comprised entirely of songs written for other artists including Beyonce and Rihanna, now has an official release date as well as some cover art which some readers might find unsettling.

Readers can check out the cover art below. Meanwhile, the Adelaide native’s follow-up her 2014 smash, 1000 Forms Of Fear, is set to hit shelved on Friday, 29th January, with pre-orders available now.

In a recent Rolling Stone cover story, Adele remarked on working with Sia. While none of the track the two worked on made the record, the singer said, “I actually love the dynamic of us both being in there and just fucking being bossy.”

Meanwhile, the ‘Chandelier’ hit-maker told NME of her new album, “I’m calling it This Is Acting because they are songs I was writing for other people, so I didn’t go in thinking ‘This is something I would say.’ It’s more like play-acting. It’s fun.”

UK & EU you can now pre-order "This Is Acting” on Apple Music http://smarturl.it/iThisIsActing?IQid=fb and get ‘Alive’ and ‘Bird Set Free’instantly.
