1000 Forms of Fear, Sia's sixth studio album, arrived on 4 July 2014 through Monkey Puzzle and RCA, with Inertia handling Australia, and it's the sound of a songwriter stepping back into a spotlight she'd been dodging. After a break from performing spent writing hits for others, she returned with an electropop record threaded with reggae and hip-hop touches, produced by Greg Kurstin, Jesse Shatkin, Chris Braide and Diplo.
The gloss hides a hard story: the songs deal with her struggle with drug addiction and a bipolar disorder diagnosis that later proved wrong. "Chandelier" is the knockout, and it became her first Hot 100 entry as a lead artist; "Big Girls Cry", "Elastic Heart" and "Fire Meet Gasoline" followed. With her face hidden under a wig and Maddie Ziegler standing in as her onstage persona, the record opened at the top of the Billboard 200 and won her three ARIA Awards that year.
