Sia Performs A Stunning Cover Of Rihanna’s “Diamonds,” A Song Written By Sia
We’ve long fantasized about hearing Sia‘s original demo of “Diamonds,” the #1 single from Rihanna’s #1 album Unapologetic that the Australian singer-songwriter penned — and now we’ve got the next best thing: Sia took the stage several weeks ago to perform her rendition of the song at the Norwegian-American Achievement Awards ceremony, although video is just surfacing now.
As expected, Sia injects a whole new energy into the song, stripping back the production to reveal how haunting and evocative “Diamonds” is in its DNA. She may not be as #UNAPOLOGETIC as Riri, but Sia’s powerful vocals transform the track into a soaring torch anthem. Watch up top.
