Sia unleashes 'Problems' on North America

Australian singer/songwriter Sia Furler has mapped out another round of US headlining dates behind her forthcoming album, "Some People Have Real Problems."

The singer--who usually goes by just her first name--will kick off the month-long run Feb. 15 in Solana Beach, CA, north of San Diego. The 22-city trek will run through mid-March, featuring several Canadian venues as well as a broad canvassing of major US metro areas. Dates are below.

"Some People," which hits stores Jan. 8, is Sia's third studio album and follows last year's "Colour the Small One," which originally was released in most countries in 2004. The set features backing vocals from Beck on a pair of songs, "Academia" and "Death By Chocolate," which also features vocals from actor Giovanni Ribisi.

The video for another of the album's songs, "Buttons," can be found on Sia's website. The video garnered the artist a fair bit of public attention recently when it was linked by popular blogger Perez Hilton.

An iTunes-exclusive digital EP, featuring the aforementioned "Buttons" and another song, "Day Too Soon," was released via the Internet retailer last month.
