After releasing her single "Alive" in September, Sia has confirmed her new album This Is Acting will be released on Jan. 29.

The singer revealed the news and the album artwork Monday on Instagram.

As we previously mentioned, Sia says the set is a collection of songs she was "writing for other people, so I didn't go in thinking, 'This is something I would say.' It's more like play-acting."

According to the songstress, tracks originally intended for Beyoncé and Rihanna are included on the LP.

News of the album release precedes Sia's performance on this weekend's much-hyped episode of Saturday Night Live, hosted by Donald Trump.
