Sia has released a music video for “Alive”.
True to form, Sia does not appear in the clip, instead it features a young actor in a half blond half black wig as her stand in. This time around elaborate dance moves are traded for some serious martial arts chops.

The video’s star is nine year old child actress/dancer Mahiro Takano who was filmed in Chiba, Japan. The video was directed by Sia and Daniel Askill, the same creative team behind the videos for “Chandelier,” “Elastic Heart” and “Big Girls Cry.”
“Alive” is the lead single from Sia’s forthcoming album This Is Acting which will be released on January 29th. The track was written with Adele, and was originally intended to appear on her forthcoming album 25.
This Is Acting is the follow up to 2014’s 1000 Forms Of Fear which featured the singer’s breakthrough single “Chandelier”.
