Interview April 2015
Who has ever seen Sia’s music video
‘Chandelier’ would be amazed by how talented of the choreography is, let alone the
11-year-old solo dancer, Maddie Ziegler, wows the crowds for her impromptu
modern moves. Interview April 2015 issue scores Sia’s forth interview, about
her interest on movie project and insecurities under public gazes.
Turning 39 years old in 2015, Sia projects
her blond bob style onto Maddie the dancer in short films. She would like to
“be able to make great pop music for another 20 years”, while still
contributing songs for other artists, Sia would like to save the favourites for
herself. Take ‘Chandelier’ for example, the original plan was to give it away,
but it had to come out on a major label, and RCA doesn’t want to make it as
freebie, so Sia took the song and directed the music video. ‘Chandelier’ has
been playing on social media at every corner, and several months later, Sia won
2014 MTV The Best Choreography Music Video.
Sia continues the contract with RCA under
her own deal: no promo, no touring, no appearances in any music videos. Because
she would like to try to have some control of her image, “I am just trying to
work out a way to be a singer and to create cool content. But I’m not willing
to give up my actual self” (Wiig, 137). Through Photographer Gregory Harris’
lens, the fashion campaign in Los Angeles, Sia is wearing Victor & Rolf or Junya
Watanabi floral dresses, Alexander Wang killing-high heels, and either a
reserved salad-bowl or a bird-nest blond wigs, with bare smiles. The shooting
location is at an abandon carwash with shattering glasses on the ground, or at
an old street corner with dying flower petals. From the front cover to the
fashion pages, the hue layers are from light burgundy, pale white to neo blue, with
a touch of industrial declined city view. The atmosphere of the shooting is
echoing Sia’s music videos, dusty, vague and melancholic.
This is the reason why I keep collection
Andy Warhol’s publication. Perhaps that’s also why Sia would be willing to take
interview with Interview.
