“Fancy” notwithstanding the general consensus among the opinionated denizens of The Internet is that Sia’s highly addictive ode to getting your shit together, “Chandelier”, is the song of the summer, vocally flawless*** and the best denouncement of alcoholism since Kendrick Lamar’s “Swimming Pools”. It’s been a monolith. And so has its music video.
The balletically choreographed film clip helmed by “Breathe Me” director Daniel Askill and starring diminutive U.S. dance prodigy Maddie Ziegler has been viewed over 54 million times on Youtube, been recreated live for everyone from Jimmy Kimmel to Ellen and inspired a litany of imitators, the best, worst and most “AMAZING” of which the singer herself has compiled for our viewing pleasure into a delightful supercut of bewigged Sia fans dancing like no one’s watching.
But oh we are.
Sia’s new album, “1000 Forms of Fear”, is out now.
