Onlysee is the debut studio album by Australian singer-songwriter Sia. This is her only studio album to be credited under her full name, Sia Furler; her later albums all use her stage Sia. It was released on 23 December 1997, in Australia, after she left the acid jazz band Crisp.[1]
Background
[edit]In the mid-1990s, Sia started a career as a singer in the local acid jazz band Crisp under her full name, Sia Furler.[2] Sia contributed vocals to their album Word and the Deal (1996) and EP Delirium (1997).[3] When Crisp disbanded in 1997, Sia signed with Flavored Records in Australia and recorded her first solo album, Onlysee, writing or co-writing six of the songs on the album. The disc was produced by Jesse Flavell, who also wrote most of the songs on the album and co-wrote all but two others.[4] The album was recorded in less than three weeks.[5]
Commercial performance
[edit]The album sold 1,200 copies, 1,000 of them in Adelaide; it did not chart.[6] Sia, unhappy with the poor sales performance of the album,[citation needed] moved to London and began providing lead vocals for English downtempo group Zero 7.[citation needed] She later signed to Long Lost Brother Records & Sony Music's Dance Pool sub-label in 2000 and began working on her second studio album, Healing Is Difficult.[citation needed] The song "Soon" was re-recorded and renamed "Sober and Unkissed" for Healing Is Difficult.[citation needed] The album is out of print and unavailable on any streaming services.[citation needed]
