With Xmas and New Year keeping me busy over the last couple of weeks, I failed to stick in a link to the David Guetta video for the track Titanium.
Got to say that it's an absolutely outstanding video, and probably the best track on last year's Nothing But The Beat album.
I like the way that the song and video seem to be seperate but complimentary to each other. The video is not about Guetta or vocalist Sia, but manages comes up with a totally different meaning for the song.
It features actor Ryan Lee, who starred in Speilberg's movie Super 8.
It's the kind of music video that you wish someone would make the rest of the film
An alternative vocal for the song was recorded by Mary J Blige, but for the album finally went for the version by Sia rather than Blige's take. The Blige vocal was leaked online last year, prompting a comment from Guetta: "You shouldn't even know about that ... I'd rather not speak about it. That was annoying. It wasn't supposed to be out there."
Apparently the song was also offered to Katy Perry, who turned it down.
Sia, an Australian singer who has been releasing material since 1997, might not be as high profile as Katy Perry or Mary J Blige, but there's no denying her performance here would certainly be hard for either them to beat.
