Sia, 'Clap Your Hands' -- New Song

Sia Clap Your Hands Sia's second single 'Clap Your Hands,' featured on her upcoming fourth studio effort 'We Are Born,' features deliriously uptempo beats that will lure you on the dance floor.

Although Sia's typically known for her ambient, dulcet vocals -- especially when she collaborated with Zero 7 -- the songstress can in fact tackle pop, more specifically synth pop -- justifiably on Christina Aguilera's upcoming album 'Bionic' as well as Sia's forthcoming release 'We Are Born.'

Pulling inspiration from Blondie and Talking Heads to The Cure and The Pretenders, the album (out June 7) was produced by Greg Kurstin -- who has previously worked with Lily Allen, Britney Spears and Kylie Minogue. "I flip between calling it a shallow pop album and easy listening," Sia tells the Vancouver Sun. "It just reminds me of my happiest times as a 10-year-old."

There are also three remixed versions of 'Clap Your Hands,' thanks to Biff & Ash, Fred Falke and Diplo -- all drawing similarities to early-Millennium dance-pop beats by Kylie Minogue and Sophie Ellis-Bexter.

'We Are Born' follows 2008's 'Some People Have Real Problems.' Tune into AOL Radio's Top Dance station to hear the Biff & Ash remix, which features melodic keyboard synths and jumpy backbeats.
