Looks like Christmas came right on time.

It’s been a long time coming, but finally, Australian pop sensation, Sia (born Sia Furler), has revealed plans for her next studio album.

The 43-year-old decided to answer some fan questions over Twitter on Christmas Day. When asked about the possibility of upcoming new material, she wasn’t shy to admit there would not only be new music, but that she’s also directing a feature-length musical.

Sia is known for her erratic album releases. In a span of 21 years, she has put out eight studio albums. Her latest was a Christmas album gifted to us at the end of 2017.

While it was only a year ago, many fans refused to accept Everyday is Christmas as an official Sia album. It, unfortunately, wasn’t received very well and left supporters hungry for more material like 2016’s This is Acting.

Since then, Sia has collaborated with American record producer, Diplo, as well as English songwriter, Labrinth, on four separate singles. The singles were made into an EP entitled Mountains and released on Nov. 2. The supergroup goes under the moniker LSD.

Followers speculate Sia may be referring to new LSD music rather than her solo career.
