Always in search of the perfect 90 bpm flat road song- I first saw this artist on a not memorable awards show I watched with the kids. Her voice is mesmerizing and she used to be a backup vocalist for a favorite British group of mine- Jamiroquai. This shy Australian vocalist is also a song writer and video producer that prefers not to show her face…(you can do that when you're a star)!
This song is great as a recovery flat or ‘reset' between harder work efforts. It's a great motivating flat that helps everyone petal at 90 rpm's- which the experts tell us is our body's optimal pedal speed.
Enjoy Sia and “Fire Meets Gasoline”
