Sia

Sia Kate Isobelle Furler, born 18 December 1975, is an Australian singer-songwriter, record producer and music video director. She started her career as a singer in the local Adelaide acid jazz band "Crisp" in the mid-1990s. In 1997, when Crisp disbanded, she released her debut studio album titled "OnlySee" in Australia. She then moved to London, England, and provided lead vocals for the British duo "Zero 7". In 2000, Sia signed to Sony Music's sub-label Dance Pool and released her second studio album, "Healing Is Difficult", the following year. Displeased with the promotion of the record, she signed to "Go! Beat" and released her third studio album, "Colour the Small One", in 2004. The project struggled to connect with a mainstream audience, and so Sia relocated to New York City in 2005 and began touring across the United States. She released her fourth and fifth studio releases, "Some People Have Real Problems" and "We Are Born", in 2008 and 2010, respectively. She then took a hiatus from performing, during which she focused on songwriting for other artists. Her catalogue includes the successful collaborations "Titanium" (with David Guetta), "Diamonds" (with Rihanna) and "Wild Ones" (with Flo Rida). In 2014, Sia released her sixth studio album "1000 Forms of Fear", which debuted at No 1 in the U.S. Billboard 200 and generated the top-ten breakthrough single "Chandelier" and a trilogy of music videos starring child dancer Maddie Ziegler. In 2016, she released her seventh studio album "This Is Acting", which spawned her first Hot 100 number one single, "Cheap Thrills". The same year, Sia gave her Nostalgic for the present Tour, which incorporated performance art elements. Sia has received an array of accolades, including ARIA Awards and an MTV Video Music Award.

Titanium

"Titanium" is a song by French DJ and music producer David Guetta, featuring vocals by Australian recording artist Sia. Taken from Guetta's fifth studio album, "Nothing but the Beat", the song was written by Sia, David Guetta, Giorgio Tuinfort and Afrojack. Production was also handled by Guetta, Tuinfort and Afrojack."Titanium" is a ballad which draws from the genres of house and urban-dance. The song's lyrics are about inner strength. Sia's vocals on "Titanium" received comparisons to those by Fergie and the song was also musically compared to Coldplay's work. Critics were positive towards the song and noted it as one of the standout tracks from Nothing but the Beat. "Titanium" attained top 10 positions in several major music markets, including Australia, Austria, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United States. In the United Kingdom, it peaked at number one, becoming Guetta's fifth number-one single on the chart and Sia's first. The video focuses on a young boy, played by actor Ryan Lee, with supernatural powers. Directed by David Wilson, it was filmed in December 2011 in Sainte-Marthe-sur-le-Lac  and at Dorval-Jean XXIII High School, in the province of Quebec, Canada. The full video premiered online on December 20, 2011.Neither Guetta nor Sia appear in the video. Jason Lipshutz of Billboard magazine noted that "the supernatural scene and suburban setting" in the video recall the science fiction film Super 8 (2011), in which Lee stars. Becky Bain of Idolator wrote that, "The video is beautifully shot, and is courageous enough not to answer all its mysteries." A writer for Capital FM called it a "very cinematic video".
