When it comes to dance vocalists, most people would only associate Sia to David Guetta because they have worked on so many different projects in the last decade, but Sia has contributed much to the dance and electronic music industry, especially her many early downtempo features with Zero 7. She definitely has come a long way since Taken For Granted was a UK Top 10 single in June 2000! In recent times she formed a supergroup with Diplo & Labrinth to form LSD. She has also written music for many big stars over the years too including Rihanna, Celine Dion, Eminem, Kylie Minogue and Shakira to name a few! These are her main contributions to dance & electronic music to date;

Destiny (with Zero 7)


Distractions (with Zero 7)


Drink To Get Drunk (with Different Gear)


Somersault (with Zero 7)


Throw It All Away (with Zero 7)


You’re My Flame (with Zero 7)


Never So Big (with David Byrne & Fatboy Slim)


Titanium (with David Guetta)


Wild One Two (with David Guetta & Nicky Romero)


She Wolf (Falling To Pieces) (with David Guetta)


Dim The Lights (with Creep)


Déjà Vu (with Giorgio Moroder)


Bang My Head (with David Guetta & Fetty Wap)


Waterfall (with Stargate & P!nk)


Flames (with David Guetta)


Helium (with David Guetta & Afrojack)


Genius (with Diplo & Labrinth)


Audio (with Diplo & Labrinth)


Thunderclouds (with Diplo & Labrinth)



Which of her current dance features is your favourite?

Which dance producers would you like to see her feature with in the future?

I have always loved Destiny as one of my all time favourite chillout songs since the day I discovered it on the compilation Now That’s What I Call Music! 49 in 2001. It rates higher than all her collars with David Guetta in this poll. Whilst she recorded much more music with Zero 7 I’ve only included the main singles in this poll, she has also done another recording with David Guetta which I left out too. Here is how I’ve rated the songs in this list;

1. Destiny (with Zero 7)
2. Titanium (with David Guetta)
3. She Wolf (Falling To Pieces) (with David Guetta)
4. Genius (with Diplo & Labrinth)
5. Distractions (with Zero 7)
6. Thunderclouds (with Diplo & Labrinth)
7. Waterfall (with Stargate & P!nk)
8. Somersault (with Zero 7)
9. Flames (with David Guetta)
10. Déjà Vu (with Giorgio Moroder)
11. Audio (with Diplo & Labrinth)
12. Bang My Head (with David Guetta & Fetty Wap)
13. Wild One Two (with David Guetta & Nicky Romero)
14. Drink To Get Drunk (with Different Gear)
15. You’re My Flame (with Zero 7)
16. Helium (with David Guetta & Afrojack)
17. Throw It All Away (with Zero 7)
18. Never So Big (with David Byrne & Fatboy Slim)
19. Dim The Lights (with Creep)

It would be rather predictable to suggest she would make another song with David Guetta in the future, and if so I am sure it would be welcomed, but for some fresh names for her to record vocals with, I would suggest that perhaps Purple Disco Machine or Zac Samuel would be contenders. I am sure there is another song somewhere that has been recorded and just waiting to get released in the near future!

Same here, 'Titanium' and 'Destiny' close second!

I love Sia's sultry vocals on the latter, you don't really hear those anymore.

She Wolf (Falling To Pieces)

Sia is a very strong vocalist so I think she does the best with strong-sounding and expressive EDM. Hence, I will go for Titanium and She Wolf (Falling To Pieces).

Titanium.

Entered the thread expecting to vote Titanium, leaving it having voted for Destiny which is easily my favourite

Drink To Get Drunk, it was such a massive hit here in Portugal back in 2001
