Sia has confirmed that she has finished work on a new studio album titled 'This Is Acting'.

Claiming that she only released '1000 Forms Of Fear' to get out of a record deal, Sia said: "Basically, I put this out to get out of my publishing deal.

"I was planning to be a pop song writer for other artists. But my publishing deal was as an artist so I had to put one more album out. I didn't want to get famous so I kept all the songs I wanted and had a lot of fun making it."

However, the success of the album has spurred her on to make more music. "I'm super productive. I have a full album ready to go and it's much more pop," she revealed. "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."

YAAAAAAAS the queen of pop is coming to slay us all again
