‘Titanium’ David Guetta (feat. Sia) ‘Titanium’ | David Guetta (feat. Sia) ‘Titanium’ was a number one hit for French DJ and music producer David Guetta, featuring vocals from Australian singer Sia. Initially released digitally as one of four promotional singles for the album Nothing but the Beat in August 2011, the hit was o!cially released as the fourth single from the album in December of that same year. ‘Titanium’ was well received in many of the top music markets worldwide, achieving number 1s in four countries and top 10s in an incredible twenty "ve countries across the globe. #e single was met with positive reviews, with many claiming it to be the show stopper of the album thanks to Sia’s collaboration on lyrics and phenomenal vocal performance. Described as “epic and energising”, ‘Titanium’ was musically likened to the works of Coldplay and Sia’s vocal was compared to that of Fergie. Many reviewers raved about Sia’s delivery of the song’s hook, stating that ‘Titanium’ was by far the “most intriguing hook-up” of Guetta’s "$h studio album. #e single was certi"ed 3 x Platinum in the UK with sales just short of two million copies, and 2 x Platinum in the US with four million records sold. Guetta’s album Nothing But !e Beat topped the album charts in the DJ’s home nation of France, as well as Australia, Belgium, Germany, Spain and Switzerland. While some reviewers felt it was lacking somewhat in comparison to his earlier works, the album was well-received by many with tracks ‘Night of Your Life’ and ‘Titanium’ being highlighted as the strongest on the release. Selling just under one million copies in the UK, Guetta achieved 3 x Platinum status and with 500,000 copies sold he was awarded Diamond status in his home country of France. Sia is an Australian singer-songwriter who launched her career with acid-jazz band Crisp in the mid-1990s. 1997 saw Crisp disband and so Sia moved to London in hope of furthering her music career, getting her "rst big break performing as a backing vocalist for global superstars Jamiroquai. In 2000 the singer signed a solo contract with Sony Music’s sub-label, Dance Pool, and released her debut solo single ‘Taken for Granted’. Over the next decade Sia found fame increasingly di!cult, and longing for a private life she decided to focus on songwriting for a time. Having originally intended her song ‘Titanium’ to feature vocals by Alicia Keys, on hearing her demo Guetta decided the track should be released featuring k u Sia’s original demo vocals on Nothing But !e Beat, which Sia was not happy about. o c . r a t #e success of ‘Titanium’ saw Sia’s career relaunched in many ways. Finding her way with being famous, she also i u g worked on "lm collaborations and the singer-songwriter felt much more comfortable in the public eye. With nine s e t album releases including several collaborations, Sia has made her place in the music industry as a well-respected e p vocalist and songwriter. @ e t e p / h t i m S e t e P Song Info / 1 Song Title: Titanium / 7 Album: Nothing but the Beat 6 0 5 Released: 2011 6 0 5 Label: Virgin/Capitol US 6 5 Genre: House/Urban-Dance 4 2 7 - Written By: Sia/David Guetta/Giorgio Tuinfort/Nick van de Wall L S Produced by: David Guetta/Giorgio Tuinfort/Afrojack R UK Chart Peak: 1 Acoustic Guitar Grade 1 Grade Guitar Acoustic 15 Titanium Session Style David Guetta (feat.
