From Amazon.co.uk
Listening to Colour the Small One seems almost rude, as though you've just crept into someone's bedroom unannounced and read their diary, or even eavesdropped into a private conversation. A lot of this is down to Sia's voice; a soft, intimate, languorous affair that has the unsettling effect of being simultaneously sad and seductive. A couple of years on from her R&B-tinged debut and those classic pairings with Zero 7, the Australian vocalist has come a long way. The music here consists of basic frameworks of rhythm, enhanced by subtle percussion, folky harmonica and nothing more obtrusive than that secretive, melancholic voice. There's certainly room to breathe and Sia unfolds at her own leisurely pace. Opener "Rewrite" works the sad verse/sunny chorus formula to perfection, while "Sunday" turns "Strawberry Fields" harmonium into big orchestral trip-hop. "Sweet Potato" sours the flow, sounding contrived and too like Nelly Furtado for its own good, but "Bully", a collaboration with Beck Hansen, has a sweet melody that belies its subject matter. As cries for help go, this is up there with the best. --Paul Tierney

D. Anderson (Madison, WI)
I was up late watching Conan O'Brien show and SIA was the featured artist. The song I heard isn't on this album but none the less this album grew on me. There is one song that has been used in many films and TV shows and it's still one of my fav's. This album reminds me of Dido mixed with a little cranberries. I think the recordings are great and the mix was done very well. This album is a great ride all the way through.
Sia does it again January 8, 2008
Maureen Gildea (Tustin, CA United States)
Beautiful album. I was so happy to discover Sia since I have been a Zero 7 fan for many years. Sia has such a soulful voice that I don't tire of. A must for Zero 7 and Sia fans.

This cd is a great find. It is kind of slow at times, but the songs grab you and stay with you.
