Music: Kate Hudson stars in first trailer for Sia's new film
Sia, the Australian singer-songwriter, has been performing since the 1990s. She only really became well known in 2014 when she made her breakthrough with the song Chandelier, and it was since this time that she covered her face. Now, Sia has turned to directing and is about to release her first movie, so Express.co.uk breaks down everything there is to know about Music.
When is Sia’s movie Music out in cinemas?
At present, it is unclear whether Music will be coming out in cinemas, or whether it will just be a digital release.
The movie will be released on digital platforms on February 15, so fans will be able to access the film online.
Given cinemas are currently closed in the UK, it may be this film does not get a cinematic release until after the lockdown is lifted, if at all.

Who is in the cast of Music?
Kate Hudson is the leading lady in this film, playing Zu, a free spirit who is estranged from her family.
As well as her, Maddie Ziegler, the young dancer seen in many of Sia’s music videos, plays Music, Zu’s younger half-sister who needs her help.
The film is a screen musical, so will likely feature some songs, though it’s unclear if it will be Kate and Maddie singing, or whether it will be Sia’s voice heard in the film.
Other stars in the film include Leslie Odom Jr and Ben Schwartz.
What is Music about?
The official synopsis reads: “Zu (Kate Hudson) is a free spirit estranged from her family who suddenly finds herself the sole guardian of her half-sister, Music (Maddie Ziegler), a teenager on the autism spectrum whose whole world order has been beautifully crafted by her late grandmother.
“With a history of addiction issues that have challenged her self-worth and reliability, Zu can barely take care of herself and she struggles with the new responsibilities her sister brings.
“But Music gets by under the watchful and loving eye of her local community, including neighbour Ebo (Leslie Odom Jr.) and Zu soon learns that life’s obstacles can be made easier with a little help and the kindness of friends.”
The film is built around Sia’s music which has been written for the film itself, and given Maddie is a dancer, it is likely she will be busting some moves as well.
Sia has written, directed and produced the movie as well as providing the music, and will release a companion album called Music – Songs From And Inspired By The Motion Picture on February 12, getting fans in the mood before the film comes out.
Is there a trailer for Music?
There is a trailer, in which Maddie’s Ziegler’s character lives with her mother until her death.
Soon, Zu is brought in to help Music as she struggles to deal with her autism, relying on those around her to help.
In between these intense, dramatic moments are surreal, colourful musical interludes full of dancing, meaning this will be unlike most musicals which have gone before it.
It is clear Sia’s creative touch is all over this movie, though ti has received some backlash for its casting, making this a controversial movie as well as an innovative one.
Music is out on digital download from February 15
