Sia Furler the new Liz?

I heard a couple songs by Sia on Nip/Tuck and immediately ran to Itunes and downloaded them. I downloaded "Numb" Saturday and have played it exactly 57 times since. I'll listen to it at least 4more times tonight. I downloaded some more of her tracks and a few she did with Zero 7. And then I went on youTube and watched some of her videos. And man- she reminds me a lot of Liz. Kind of not super pretty, kind of shy, but possessing of an incredible range and potent eroticism. The music is very different than the Twins (no Banshees influence) but downbeat and lush like the Twins. She has the ame playfulness and multitracks just like Liz.

So- anyone heard her and get Liz flashbacks?

    Yes, in 'Numb' I heard a trickle of liz stylin', but listening to her other songs I hear more Tori, Fiona, Carol KIng, even a little Esthero. And she's cute and all, great voice, good vibin', but not Liz. Not to this ear anyway. ;^)

    Nothing I have heard has reached the Soul level of Liz that trancends the boundaries of the mind and fly in the sky of the Heart. But I'd buy a CD.

    i know what you mean when you find a knew artist that gives you a lick of nostalgia,but doesnt quite completely nail it., but if there was an artist that gave me the same swooning chills as liz did eat it up by the spoon full! so my friend eat up!
