" Sia has said that it was a dream come true to have Nick Valensi appear on her upcoming fifth album We Are Born. The singer told Metro that she was a big fan of the The Strokes&amp;#039; guitarist, whose own band are currently recording their fourth LP. Sia said: &amp;quot;Having Nick play on my record was a dream; he&amp;#039;s like my guitar hero. Musically we just became a different kind of hot dog, with Nick&amp;#039;s special sauce.&amp;quot; Of the emotional nature of her albums, she added: &amp;quot;When I listen back to my records, I know I was channelling a lot of personal stuff into the tracks. &amp;quot;To some degree, I&amp;#039;m an empath - a person who drinks in others&amp;#039; sorrows and then splurts them out into songs. I like to sing shouty belters because it&amp;#039;s so cathartic. Your voice comes out of every cell in your body - waaaarrrgggh!&amp;quot; Sia recently suggested that she would retire from the music industry after the release of her last album on July 12.
