Sia Song “Angel By The Wings” To Appear In ‘The Eagle Huntress’ Documentary
In what is interestingly almost a mirror of the rollout for Lady Gaga‘s Academy Award-nominated song “‘Til It Happens to You,” Sia has recorded a soundtrack contribution for the documentary The Eagle Huntress, which is set to premiere at this year’s Sundance Film Festival on Sunday, January 24. The Hollywood Reporter says the doc follows the story of Aisholpan, a 13-year old Mongolian girl striving to become the first female eagle hunter in 2,000 years of male dominated history.
Sia’s track, “Angel By The Wings,” is described as an “uplifting pop song” which “showcases Sia’s mesmerizing vocals, inspiring listeners to look up to the sky, before unleashing a powerful refrain of ‘You can do anything.’ These lyrics, apparently capture the lead character’s own “indomitable spirit and positive message of female empowerment.”
“Angel By The Wings” will not appear on Sia’s upcoming seventh studio album, This Is Acting (out January 29).
Last year, Lady Gaga’s Diane Warren collaboration “Til It Happens To You” was first heard in the documentary The Hunting Ground, which also premiered at Sundance. The film was released to theaters in February 2015, and “Til It Happens To You” was made available for download and streaming in September.
“Til It Happens To You” ultimately landed Lady Gaga an Oscar nod.
