Remix: "Wild Ones Two" (Jack Back ft. David Guetta, Nicky Romero and Sia)

2012 was the year of Sia if you ask me and Flo Rida's Sia assisted single "Wild Ones" was one of the biggest songs of 2012 eventually peaking at #5 on the Billboard Hot 100.

With that said, Jack Back, David Guetta, and Nicky Romero have taken Sia's infectious hook and looped it into a new groove for "Wild Ones Two." Take a listen below to the remix of "Wild Ones" and Enjoy!

Playback: "Opportunity" (Quvenzhané Wallis)

I saw the remake of Annie last week and I must say that the film seems to of gotten a bad rap as Quvenzhané Wallis burns through the screen as Annie and the new narrative of the film is extremely powerful and relevant in my opinion.

With that said, during one of the apex's of the remake, Quvenzhané performs a stunning new song that was co-written for the 2014 remake by Sia. Entitled "Opportunity," it is a beautiful ballad that how a touching meaning and offers an emotional moment during the course of the film.

Therefore, take a playback to Quvenzhané Wallis's sublime take on "Opportunity" below and Enjoy!

Amazing Cover: "Chandelier" (Daley)

UK crooner Daley has been grinding since he released his debut album Days & Nights, touring the world as he continues to make a name for himself as well as build a fanbase and ahead of his forthcoming US dates here in November, he has released a solid new acoustic cover.

Deciding to take on Sia's smash hit "Chandelier," Daley performed his take during a live session at The Joint in London. Watch his sublime performance that features just his vocals and a grand piano below and Enjoy!

Live Clip: "Elastic Heart" (Sia)

Earlier this week, Sia appeared on ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live and performed several of her hits for the crowd gathered out in Hollywood. As always, Sia likes to remain a bit hidden during her televised performances and this performance of "Elastic Heart" was no different as she sat down with her back facing the crowd as she belted out The Hunger Games song.

With that said, take a few minutes to watch Sia's interesting and artistic performance of "Elastic Heart" below and lookout for her forthcoming album 1000 Forms of Fear when its released this coming Tuesday, July 8th.

New Video: "Chandelier" (Sia)

Yesterday, the official video for Sia's lead single "Chandelier" from her forthcoming album 1000 Forms of Fear debuted with a familiar face to some, Maddie Ziegler, the 11-year-old star of Lifetime's Dance Moms.

Directed by Sia and Daniel Askill, the official video for "Chandelier" featured Maddie in a bob similar to that of Sia's while offering  up a routine that's a bit of a departure from the party inspired hook.

With that said, watch the official video for "Chandelier" below and lookout for the release of 1000 Forms of Fear later this summer.

Live Clip: "Diamonds" (Sia)

With Sia's single "Elastic Heart" getting release last week from The Hunger Games: Catching Fire official soundtrack, I thought it would be appropriate to revisit Sia's sublime rendition of Rihanna's "Diamonds."

With that said, while Sia wrote Rihanna's latest #1 hit, last year Sia took to Twitter o share a YouTube clip of her belting it out. Watch it all go down below as Sia reclaims "Diamonds" and Enjoy!

New Joint: "Elastic Heart" (Sia ft. The Weeknd)

The biggest commercially viable film this fall is hands down The Hunger Games: Catching Fire and ahead of the blockbuster's release, Sia's The Weeknd assisted and Diplo produced joint "Elastic Heart" has hit the net from the star-studded accompanying soundtrack.

Featuring a solid verse from The Weekdnd, the clear standout for me on this joint has to be Sia's soaring vocals on top of Diplo's brilliantly produced mid-tempo track for "Elastic Heart." With that said, take a listen below to "Elastic Heart" and if you like what you hear, lookout for the soundtrack to The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, when it's release November 19th with additional contributions from The Weeknd, Christina Aguilera, Santigold, Lorde and Coldplay.

Listen to Sia, The Weeknd and Diplo's powerful collaboration of "Elastic Heart" below and Enjoy!

New Joint: "Loved Me Back To Life" (Celine Dion)

During her performance last night in Quebec City, Celine Dion premiered a new song "Loved Me Back To Life," which is lifted from her forthcoming album Loved Me Back To Life. Penned by Sia and produced by Sham & Motesart, "Loved Me Back To Life" will be the first single lifted from Celine's upcoming LP due this October. With that said, you can watch her live premiere performance of "Loved Me Back To Life" after the jump and Enjoy!

Live Clip: "Titanium" (Sia)

This past Saturday, Sia performed an acoustic rendition for the first time ever of her global smash hit "Titanium" at An Evening With Women in Los Angeles. With that said, watch her riveting and phenomenal performance of "Titanium" below and Enjoy!

New Joint: "Kill and Run" (Sia)

Another day and it seems like another joint from the forthcoming The Great Gatsby soundtrack has hit the net and this time it is in the form of Sia's "Kill and Run." Lifted from the highly anticipated official film soundtrack, "Kill and Run" is a haunting piano-led ballad and you can take a listen to it below!

Remix: "Wild Ones Two" (Jack Back featuring David Guetta, Nicky Romero and Sia)

2012 was the year of Sia if you ask me and Flo Rida's Sia assisted single "Wild Ones" was one of the biggest songs of 2012 eventually peaking at #5 on the Billboard Hot 100. With that said, Jack Back, David Guetta, and Nicky Romero have taken Sia's infectious hook and looped it into a new groove for "Wild Ones Two."

Written by Sia, the uptempo dance joint features fellow Roc Nation labelmate J. Cole, who drops two verses on the uptempo joint. Take a listen below to Alexis Jordan's new joint "Acid Rain" below and Enjoy!

Live Clip: "Diamonds" (Brandy)

Rihanna's latest #1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 has been covered by numerous artists and besides Sia's sublime interpretation of the song she co-wrote, Brandy hands down offers up the best interpretation I've heard and she does it in less than 25 seconds! With that said, watch Brandy "put it down" vocally on "Diamonds" while she was backstage getting ready for a recent show and Enjoy!

Amazing Cover: "Titanium" (Melanie Fiona)

Melanie Fiona performed a spot date at NYC's Gramercy Theater last night and during her rousing set, the Grammy-winning songstress performed a sublime cover of the David Guetta and Sia collaboration "Titanium." With that said, you can watch Melanie get down to "Titanium" below and Enjoy!

Live Video of the Day: "Diamonds" (Sia)

While Sia wrote Rihanna's latest #1 hit, I have been waiting for her to offer her own take as Sia is not just a beast on the pen but also on the microphone. With that said, Sia took to Twitter earlier tonight to share a YouTube clip of her belting it out. Watch it all go down below as Sia reclaims "Diamonds."

New Joint: "Blank Page" (Christina Aguilera)

Co-written with Sia and Chris Braide, Christina Aguilera's "Blank Page" was released earlier today and the sparse instrumentation of the powerful ballad from Aguilera proves once again why she is heralded as "The Voice" of our generation. Letting her voice take centerstage, Christina Aguilera's voice fills in all the empty space left by the simplistic and beautiful accompaniment and underscores her powerful pipes that are sometimes forgotten in a landscape where "voiceless" singers seem to be topping the charts. With that said, take a listen to the emotive and powerful "Blank Page" below and Enjoy!

Remix: "Wild Ones Two" (Jack Back featuring David Guetta, Nicky Romero and Sia)

Flo Rida's Sia assisted single "Wild Ones" has been burning up at radio and to help build momentum for the joint that has already peaked at #7 on the Billboard Hot 100, Jack Back, David Guetta, and Nicky Romero have taken Sia's infectious hook and looped it into a new groove for "Wild Ones Two."
