I love it when artist release live material, I love how they rework songs from their studio recording to producing there sound live. It also shows their vocal range, sometimes that can be a good thing or a bad thing for some artists. But with Sia, she shines beautifully ? her orchestrations are lush, multi-layered and she belts it out for the world to take notice. With all of her songs like the classic, Destiny and Breathe Me, she sings beautifully, heartfelt and full of emotion and strength. This is the type of collection (more e.p style than anything) that makes you to crave more and I wish there was more included in this package like a DVD, would have been fantastic.

But alas we are still treated to this gorgeous collection, and it acts like a reminder of why we love Sia.

Stellar

"Contrary to her American solo debut, there is nothing small about Sia. She is known for heavyily layered and multi-faceted music--at once soulful while being as modern and trippy as one can get. On a recorded album, Sia shines bright--her voice, a polished female dripping sweet notes off her lips and bold in her delivery. But here, on her live EP "LAdy Croissant," Sia is stellar--a true gut-buster in her vocal delivery. This woman can really SANG, and it sounds even better than the pre-recorded material--this live ish is the real deal. So, do yourself a favour and pick up "Lady Croissant"--it is brilliant...from the varied interpretations of Sia/Zero 7 classics like "Destiny" and "Breathe Me", to the new studio track "Pictures," Sia delivers a set of lively vocals that sooth your ears and pick at your brain with beautiful intensity. This is one "croissant" you'll want to savor :)"

The Music is (Not) Lost In the Translation of a Live setting

"On April 3, 2007, Sia, whose side gig is as a featured performer for the band Zero 7, released a 9-track EP of all live material (save for one new worthy studio track called "Pictures"). Curiously titled "Lady Croissant", the haunting, soulful project's live material was recorded in NYC in 2006.



Primarily comprised of songs from both Sia's catalog and Zero 7's, the set does include live versions of 2 other new trax, "Lentil" & "I Go To Sleep".



Any Sia/Zero 7 fan will appreciate this addition to their collection, especially since it contains live renditions of arguably Zero 7's most popular song "Destiny" (from their debut), and Sia's own behemoth "Breathe Me" (which was prominently featured in both 6 Feet Under's series finale & the film Freedom Writers).
