Another string to add to her ever-growing bow
Aussie singer-songwriter heavyweight Sia has lent her talents to the soundtrack of the upcoming Annie movie remake.
The multi-faceted musician, who's currently mixing it up in the charts with her hit Chandelier, confirmed on her Twitter account today that she had composed lyrics and melodies for the soundtrack, just as the film's latest trailer was released.

For the project, Sia teamed up with musician and prominent producer Greg Kurstin, who has previously worked with likes of Pink, Kylie Minogue, Lily Allen, Ellie Goulding and Foster The People. Kurstin, who is a member of US indie pop duo The Bird And The Bee, also helped produce Sia's Chandelier and contributed heavily to her 2010 album We Are Born.

This is also not the first time Sia has contributed to a film soundtrack – her collaboration with The Weeknd and Diplo, Elastic Heart featured on The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, plus Kill And Run for Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby soundtrack and My Love for The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.
Her new album 1000 Forms Of Fear is out in July.
Annie, which stars Jamie Foxx, Cameron Diaz and Aussie actress Rose Byrne, will be released in cinemas here in December.
