OnlySee (stylized onlysee) is the debut studio album by Australian singer and songwriter Sia, which was released on 23 December 1997. Unlike later albums, OnlySee was marketed under her full name, Sia Furler.
Background
Following the disbandment of Crisp in 1997, Sia signed on to Flavoured Records in Australia and started work on her first album. OnlySee was produced by Jesse Flavell, who also had been contributing to the album's songwriting. The album was recorded in under three weeks[1], and had little to no promotion.
Charts
The album also failed to chart, only selling 1,200 copies, 1,000 sold in Adelaide alone.[2]. Sia, unhappy with her album's faliure, moved to London and started providing the lead vocals for English downtempo group Zero 7. She later signed on to Sony Music's sub-label Dance Pool, and started working on her soon-to-be second studio album, Healing Is Difficult. The song "Soon" was re-recorded and renamed as "Sober and Unkissed" for Healing Is Difficult. OnlySee is currently out of print.[3]
Trivia
- Long out of print, the original OnlySee CD has become extremely rare and valuable to collectors. While it is possible to find it for sale online, most of the ones offered have turned out to be counterfeit editions.
- While Sia has released the rest of her full-length albums digitally, OnlySee is not likely to receive such treatment as Sia has stated she very much dislikes the album.
