Sia reports in a new blog entry that her collaboration With Xtina turned out some great new material. She seems really pleased and grateful for the opportunity she was given to work with her. Apparently, it was Christina who contacted the Australian singer/songwriter for help with her upcoming album, which in itself is very flattering!

she is my new best friend
02.03.09
i arrived on a sunday night and fell into bed.
monday morning i discovered it was colder than i had anticipated,and shorts and shirt dresses weren’t going to cut it.As the rain seeped into my converse chucks,i made a note to refer to them as ‘sandals’ in the future.
sam (dixon) and i spent the day discussing valentines,and trying not to buy anything at all,because ‘there is a recession,you know’.
we were officially on call.
to miss christina aguilera.
HOW FUN.
the week turned out 4 beautiful songs,four new mates,several new dog loves,fine dining,followed by super mario,apples to apples and a game of pool.
i lost unwaiveringly.
gratefully,i’m a demon at scrabble,and i’ve challenged her to a tournament.
i can never be a better singer than her,but i sure can hope to get the word ‘hexagons’ on a triple word score,you feel me?
i definitely pooped my pants when she first sang out loud in the room with us.
little prickles stood up all over me,and marched first up,then down,then up again.
when i heard ‘beautiful’ in david’s car for the first time,i remember thinking,this is the best song i can remember hearing maybe ever,who is it?
it didn’t surprise me at all when he said ‘christina aguilera’,but it does surprise me that just a few years later,i find myself collaborating with the voice that brought that song to life.
i love her.
she’s a nice person.
What a nice post! She obviously enjoyed working with her, and it will be interesting to hear what these two talented females created.
