By Stephen Pate – While still on her international Nostalgic For The Present tour Sia dropped a new song and video called The Greatest (feat. Kendrick Lamar) in a collaboration with Kendrick Lamar.
The video features dozens of child dancers led by the irrepressible Maddie Ziegler in a dystopian world.
The song is definitely a pop heavy tune and may be a quick hit follow-up to “Cheap Thrills.” “Don’t give up, I wont’t give up” is the song’s positive refrain.
Lamar’s verse is not included in the released video, accident or paving the way for 2nd version? The iTunes song has the Kendrick Lamar verse.
Aye, I am the truth
Aye, I am the wisdom of the fallen; I’m the youth
Aye, I am the greatest, hey, this is the proof
Aye, I work hard, pray hard, pay dues, aye
I transform with pressure, I’m hands-on with effort
I fell twice before, my bounce back was special
Letdowns will get you, and the critics will test you
But the strongest surviv, another scar may bless you, ah
The bigger question is should fans expect a new album?
Get The Greatest on iTunes now – The Greatest (feat. Kendrick Lamar) – Single – Sia and Amazon.com.
