Dance Alone - Sia & Kylie

[AGinAg (37)]

It's fine.

This does absolutely nothing for me and Kylie aping Sia's delivery actually turns me off.

For some reason everyone apes Sia's vocal stylings on Sia's songs and it very rarely works. The only one I can think of that does totally work is Rihanna's "Diamonds".

Shakira too.

 

[Halli]

Chaka Khan is on it too.

Sole other duet? After Kylie and Paris.

 

[Halli]

Very underwhelmed by this, although after the first few initial listens it creeps up on you in a lazy? subtle kind of way.

This kinda reminds me of the Gloria Gaynor duet on Disco re-issue (plods along hoping its going to go somewhere further) but I expected more from this given its Sia and the potential. Also, the PHONE lyricas is very MELLY C

I also saw that Spotify figures went through the roof for this on the third day, is this making any roads towards the PROPER CHARTS?

 

[Eddie]

It is the very definition of BASIC. Is this all Sia is capable of these days?

 

[K.C.]

Hasn't Sia always been basic?

 

[BoysForSeles]

Hasn't Sia always been basic?

Absolutely not.

 

[Pipo]

Hasn't Sia always been basic?

After This is Acting she sure has!

 

[funky]

Oh the music you’re missing out on!

 

[K.C.]

Oh I'm pretty familiar with her music. I just didn't realize that Moopy saw her as an Avante-Garde juggernaut.

 

[VoR]

Charts at #60 today.

Do we think this is going to be tacked onto the inevitable Tension reissue? It all seems to have gone very quiet on that front.

 

[funky]

I think it feels like a bolt on for Kylie whereas Sia was probably hoping for it to be the launch of her new album - I can’t have gone how she hoped. I hope for her sake the rest of the new album is better

 

[Eddie]

I’m surprised this has charted. The downloads couldn’t have contributed much and it only spent one day in the Spotify top 200, no?

It seems unlikely that we are getting a video either so I can’t see this having much longevity.

 

[Halli]

STILL another top #75 for our Kylie. After Disco that would have been a little win in intself.

 

[Eddie]

 

[AlgoAlex]

Why bother ?

 

[Eddie]

Why bother ?

IKR. Bless Kylie for making the effort to appear though. She didn't have to - particularly since Sia couldn't be arsed.

 

[lolly]

 

[Eddie]

Video is out:

 

[Eddie]

Much better than I was expecting actually and might improve the song for me a tad.

 

[Eddie]

In fact that's the best directed video she has been in for years!

(No Sophie Muller quelle surprise)

 

[straightorbroken]

It's a good Kylie cushion, visually and perfunctory-bop wise. Never a bad thing to have Sia in her phone book to see if she has any material to consider for an album, etc.
