Remember Maddie Ziegler from the music video of Sia's smash hit, Chandelier? Well, the young performer is back and dancing to the unique singer-songwriter's latest music video; entitled 'Elastic Heart'. You can check out our review of the track itself, right here. The track featured on not only 1000 Forms of Fear but also on The Hunger Games: Catching Fire soundtrack, the latter of which originally featured The Weeknd singing the second verse. On this second (album version) however, only Diplo features. But whilst Ziegler returns dramatically to the centre stage for the new music video, she is accompanied by actor Shia LaBeouf, who performs a intriguing routine with Ziegler.
The two take part in a tussle (or type of wrestle) and appear to be struggling with each other throughout the video, ending with Ziegler's character trying to free LaBeouf's but the latter can't seem to fully escape his cagey prison. There are many metaphors this could stand for and no doubt multiple interpretations but it is certainly an interesting spectacle to watch - and a though-provoking one at that.
Sia's videos always do contain a certain element of creativity and 'Elastic Heart' is no exception, with a unique visual take that reflects the sentiment of the song, and compelling performances by LaBeouf and Ziegler, 'Elastic Heart' is definitely one to watch. Will it become the next Chandelier and see Sia rise again to the most watched ranks of video content?
