Reasonable Woman is the tenth studio album by Australian singer-songwriter Sia, released by Monkey Puzzle and Atlantic Records on 3 May 2024.

It features guest appearances from Chaka Khan, Kylie Minogue, Labrinth, Tierra Whack, Kaliii, Jimmy Joliff, and Paris Hilton.

The album was preceeded by the singles "Gimme Love", "Dance Alone" (with Minogue), and "Incredible" (featuring Labrinth).

Background

In 2016, Sia released her album This Is Acting, which comprised mostly songs she had originally written for other artists. In 2018, she formed the supergroup LSD with Labrinth and Diplo; they released their debut album in April 2019. In February 2020, Sia announced that she had two new albums "waiting to go", one of which would be her version of the soundtrack to the film Music, a musical drama film which she wrote and directed. Titled Music – Songs from and Inspired by the Motion Picture, it was released in February 2021 alongside the film. In a 2020 interview with Zach Sang, Sia stated that the other album would be titled Reasonable Woman.

According to the review aggregator Metacritic, Reasonable Woman received "generally favorable reviews" based on a weighted average score of 64 out of 100 from 4 critic scores.

In his review for AllMusic, Neil Z. Yeung praised Reasonable Woman, commenting that it "gets Sia back on track" after "a period of diminishing returns via one-off soundtrack contributions and her misunderstood Music soundtrack". Katie Colombus of The Arts Desk called the album one with "soaring notes, bonkers lyrics, intensely technical yet mellifluous vocal skills, butt-shaking beats and unforgettable melodies", praising Sia's songwriting and stating that it "consolidates [her] as a chameleon who stays true to herself".
