Description
Reasonable Woman features Sia's signature powerful vocals and motivational anthems, though many critics found the album to be a mixed, if listenable, effort that struggles to live up to her previous "glory days" of 1000 Forms of Fear or This Is Acting. While some reviewers praised the album for getting Sia "back on track" with solid pop craftsmanship and notable highlights like the raw ballad "I Forgive You" and collaborations with Kylie Minogue ("Dance Alone") and Chaka Khan ("Immortal Queen"), others found the majority of the tracks to be generic, overproduced, and at times, simplistic. The songwriting often leans into repetitive, "motivational poster" platitudes, which, combined with a lack of innovation from her mid-2010s sound, results in an inconsistent album that is generally enjoyable but not particularly memorable.
