Music – Songs from and Inspired by the Motion Picture is the ninth studio album[2][3] by Australian singer-songwriter Sia. It was released on 12 February 2021 by Monkey Puzzle and Atlantic, in connection with the release of the musical film Music, which was directed and co-written by Sia.
Sia wrote 10 original songs for the film's soundtrack following its transformation into a musical, half of which are included on the album. The album also includes songs inspired by the film, such as "Saved My Life", co-written by Dua Lipa. Primarily a pop album, it received mixed reviews from critics. Three singles preceded the album's release; "Together", the album's lead single, "Courage to Change", co-written with Pink (credited as Alecia Moore), and "Hey Boy". "Floating Through Space", a collaboration with David Guetta, was released as the fourth single shortly after the album came out.
Sia did not conceive Music as a musical film. She said that friends told her it would be like "[having] a blank Scrabble chip, and not using it" if she did not make the film as a musical. She stated that the film's budget increased from $4 million to $16 million with its transformation into a musical, as the studio could profit from the soundtrack.[5][6] Sia wrote 10 original songs for the film.[7] In February 2020, she stated that she had two albums "waiting to go",[8] one of which included her versions of the original soundtrack songs.[9] Along with new material inspired by the film, some of the 10 original songs are featured on Music – Songs from and Inspired by the Motion Picture.[2][10] The album has a total of 14 tracks;[11] the Japanese edition of the album features two domestic bonus tracks, "I'm Still Here", which was first released in 2018,[12] and the Initial Talk remix of "Together".[13]
"Courage to Change", which interpolates Pink's "Courage", also co-written by Sia,[30] is more downtempo and builds from a "moody" string intro into a "soaring" chorus[31] that has simple, repetitive but "uplifting" chorus lyrics; "Have I the courage to change?/ Have I the courage to change today?".[18][32] "Play Dumb", a song built around "vintage" synths and bass sounds,[27] is reminiscent of old-school hip hop and has G-funk-influenced production.[19] "Beautiful Things Can Happen" is a piano ballad[33] produced by Labrinth,[18] and filled with Sia's signature vocal cracks.[27] "Lie to Me" is an orchestralballad[34] that opens with a "delicate" intro with "string-like" orchestrations,[16] before building into a "massive",[33] atmospheric chorus.[29] "Oblivion" features guest vocals from Labrinth,[35] and is a re-recorded version of the same song included on his 2019 album, Imagination & the Misfit Kid.[36] Musically, it is built around "distorted beats"[18] and a string orchestra.[33] "Miracle" is a tropical song.[27] The album closes with an alternate version of "Hey Boy", featuring Burna Boy,[35] who lends a verse.[37]
Singles and promotion
"Together" and its accompanying music video were released as the album's lead single on 20 May 2020.[38][39] "Courage to Change" was released as the second single on 24 September 2020.[40][41] The album was made available for pre-order on 19 November 2020,[42] along with the release of "Hey Boy" as the third single.[43] Sia announced the album's tracklist on 13 January 2021.[44] An alternate version of "Hey Boy" featuring Nigerian singer Burna Boy was released alongside an animated video on 14 January 2021.[45]
"Floating Through Space" was originally released as the album's first promotional single with its music video on 4 February 2021,[46][47] and was serviced to contemporary hit radio in Italy on 19 February 2021.[1] Five[a] of the songs from the album appear on the film's soundtrack: "Together",[7] "Music",[48] "1+1",[49] "Beautiful Things Can Happen",[50] and, as the credits track, "Courage to Change".[51] Remixes of "Eye to Eye" were released on 4 June 2021.[52] Three Banx & Ranx remixes of "1+1" were then released; the first, featuring guest vocals from Israeli-French singer-songwriter Amir Haddad, was released on 13 July 2021.[53] This was followed by a solo version on 23 July,[54] and, on 6 August, a Spanish-language remix featuring Sofía Reyes and Yandel.[55][56]
At Metacritic, which assigns a normalised score out of 100 to ratings from publications, the album received an average score of 57 based on 6 critic reviews, indicating a "mixed or average" response.[58]
Mark Richardson of The Wall Street Journal described the album as "feel-good", although "generic".[16] Writing for Associated Press, Mark Kennedy called the album "very, very good" and commented that songs on the record display some of the "most restrained and mature" songwriting Sia has ever done. He stated, however, that as a lyricist Sia's "often gets stuck in repetitive choruses", which he finds to be present in Music.[17] The Evening Standard's David Smyth gave the album a rating of 3 out of 5 stars, and wrote that the songs' "melodies stick right away" and that there are "enough eccentric touches".[33]Kitty Empire of The Observer gave the same rating, writing that the "sound design" on the album is "excellent throughout", but commenting that it would be easier to appreciate the songs without the controversy surrounding the film.[62]
Hilary Hughes of Entertainment Weekly criticized the album, writing that the lyrical theme of "motivational language" flies "dangerously close to inspiration porn".[61] In RIFF Magazine, Domenic Strazzabosco wrote that Music "fails to strike a chord", commenting that Sia has compiled "a rather monotonous collection of songs" in the album.[18] Keith Harris of Rolling Stone wrote that the album "lacks a big hit" to pull together a "competent level of craft". He also opined that the album's highlights are its more upbeat songs, such as "Hey Boy", "1+1" and "Play Dumb".[20]NME's Nick Levine stated that the album offers "glimpses" of Sia's "undeniable greatness", though he also commented that the highlights are not enough to make Music "feel as vital as top-notch Sia efforts".[21]
