As much as I would love Kelly to record any Sia-penned song, this is why I really want her to sit down and actually work with her.

When she eventually sobered up, after her suicide attempt, Furler found that her struggles were oddly valuable in her second career. She excelled at one of a pop songwriter’s main jobs: connecting with impossibly famous, needy people. She was a natural at listening to stars talk about their own insecurities and quickly turning those feelings into catchy hits. Furler and Aguilera, a fan of Zero 7, clicked in the studio after she helped the singer write four songs, including “All I Need,” about her son, Max. “She’d sit and have a mini-therapy session with Christina,” says Sam Dixon, who co-wrote and produced the songs. “I would leave the room. That was secret ladies’ business.” Britney Spears, who worked with Furler on “Perfume,” among other songs, also felt a close connection with her. “I fell in love with the way she looks at life,” she says. “There is a bit of darkness somewhere in there, but it doesn’t come across in a frightening way.”
Last August, Lea Michele, a star of Fox’s “Glee,” requested that Furler help her record songs for her debut album. Michele wanted to write one personal song about her co-star and boyfriend, Cory Monteith, who died the previous month of a toxic combination of alcohol and heroin. During the two hours they spent together over coffee at a Los Angeles studio, she spilled out the story to Furler, who took notes, then played Michele a work-in-progress song on her iPhone. Michele began to sob on the sofa, and Furler eventually wrote “If You Say So,” based on the young star’s feelings. “Maybe it was because I have a dead boyfriend, too,” Furler said later, offhand, while recounting the moment. Then she paused, no longer cheeky. “Maybe I have some shame around it,” she said. “Maybe I’m embarrassed because I’m writing something so cheesy. Then something like that experience will happen, and I’ll realize maybe I’m not as stupid as I thought — and maybe people aren’t as stupid as I think. It occurs to me that there is value to what I do.”
