A new Sia song will be on the soundtrack to a forthcoming documentary

  • January 21, 2016
  • Brad O'Mance

Sia

Wig con­nois­seur and seemingly unstop­pable song machine Sia has a new song — ie it's not from 'This Is Acting' — called 'Angel By The Wings' on the soundtrack of a forth­com­ing doc­u­ment­ary, The Eagle Huntress.

According to a 'rep' who spoke to someone at Billboard, it's an "uplifting pop song" that “showcases Sia’s mes­mer­iz­ing vocals, inspiring listeners to look up to the sky, before unleash­ing a powerful refrain of ‘You can do anything.’"

(The same as all Sia songs then.)

The song — co-written with Greg Kurstin — appar­ently has an “indom­it­able spirit and positive message of female empowerment.”

(Ditto.)

That's all very well of course, but what does The Eagle Huntress' director Otto Bell think about it all?

“I'm incred­ibly grateful that Sia took the time to write and record this very special song,” he mused. “It's a wonderful vote of con­fid­ence for our doc­u­ment­ary. I could not have imagined a more fitting, timeless piece of music for the film — it's such a beautiful girl power anthem!”

Just as an 'FYI', The Eagle Huntress is about Aisholpan, a 13-year-old Mongolian girl striving to become the first female eagle hunter in 2,000 years of male dominated history.
