I'm sharing this video for Sia's Elastic Heart featuring Maddie Ziegler for no other reason than it's been a long time since a music video has stopped me in my tracks and made me actually watch it. So often, music videos are little more than sexist wallpaper, but this is a very different beast. Predictably, this video has attracted outrage and bluster in terms of its apparent paedophilic vibe (read Barbara Ellen's article here for a much more sensible response). For me, I was astounded by how raw and confrontational this video is; how laid bare, and discomforting - and mesmeric.
