Tony and Grammy Award-winning performer Leslie Odom Jr. recently collaborated with Australian indie-pop star Sia, and he cannot stop gushing about her.
Sia, known for delivering hits like “Cheap thrills” and “Titanium”, joined him on the new version of his song “Cold”, which had originally featured in his 2019 album, “Mr.”
“I got a message from my friend who happens to be an international pop sensation. Sia said she loved the song. I asked her in a joking way if she would consider making the song a duet and recording a version with me,” Leslie told IANS.
He thought she would politely decline but maybe she would consider writing with him and recording something else in the future.
“Sia always over-delivers. She lives to surprise and delight. I love the new version of the song so much. Jesse Shatkin produced it. He produced ‘Chandelier’ with Sia and many others. It was a real honour to have his help reimagining the track too,” said Leslie, best known for his breakout role as Aaron Burr in the Broadway project “Hamilton”.
He also stars in Sia’s forthcoming film and her directorial debut, “Music”, alongside Kate Hudson and Maddie Ziegler.
“I learned so much making her movie ‘Music’ with her,” he said. (IANS)
