Giorgio Moroder - Deja Vu (Megamix)

Via Stereogum:

Next month, the Italo-disco genius Giorgio Moroder will release Déjà Vu, his first album in many years, and he’s found an innovative way to tell us how the album will sound. In a new five-minute video, we hear short clips of every track on the album, set to an effects-heavy video of a couple dancing. It’s not an earthshaking music video or anything, but it’s enough to keep your attention while you absorb the music. And that music sounds good, like top-shelf cheesed-out dance-pop.

Giorgio Moroder & Sia - Deja Vu

Last week we got the audio, here's the production clip. This is the title track from Giorgio Moroder's first album in 30 years, due on June 16th.

Giorgio Moroder Featuring Sia - Deja Vu

Stereogum raves:

Italo-disco god Giorgio Moroder is coming back later this year with Déjà Vu, his first new album in forever. It’ll feature things like the Kylie Minogue-collab single “Right Here, Right Now” and Britney Spears covering Suzanne Vega’s “Tom’s Diner.” The album’s title track hit the internet today, and it’s got Sia tapping into some inner disco queen that I didn’t even know was there. It’s a big, bold, surging song with some truly sweet strings and handclaps on the chorus. Moroder hasn’t changed his late-’70s sound at all, but the rest of the world has come around to it, and that’s a beautiful thing.

Sia - Big Girls Cry

Via Billboard:

The third part of Sia’s video trilogy with “Dance Moms” star Maddie Ziegler has landed and - just like her controversial promo for “Elastic Heart,” which also featured actor Shia LaBeouf and drew criticism for its provocative content– it’s a powerful and visually striking piece of film. The difference this time around is that 12-year-old Maddie Ziegler performs alone, straight to camera with only her face and shoulders in view for the majority of the clip, which is filmed in front of a stark black backdrop. At one point, the pre-teen dancer’s body is hoisted into the air by another pair of hands and the video takes on a disturbing air as we watch her legs frantically struggle to break free. Thankfully, Ziegler – wearing her now trademark skin-colored body suit and blonde bob wig - breaks free and falls to the ground where she resumes her distinctively animalistic and frenzied routine.
