SIA'S "ALIVE" AND KICKING

In celebration of launching her new album, This Is Acting, into preorder, Monkey Puzzle/RCA's Sia has released a new video for "Alive."

In typical Sia fashion, the songstress appears nowhere in her cinematic and powerfully minimalist clip—directed by Daniel Askill ("Chandelier," "Elastic Heart," "Big Girls Cry"). The star instead is child actress/dancer Mahiro Takano, who entrances viewers with a pristine martial arts routine. Watch below.

In purchasing the album digitally, fans receive the single and "Bird Set Free" instantly.

To commemorate the moment, we've decided to bleach the left sides of our heads. Photos to come shortly.
