Alive

"Alive" is the lead single from Sia's seventh studio album This Is Acting, released in 2016. The track was co-written by Sia, Adele, and Tobias Jesso Jr., and was originally intended for Adele's album 25 before Sia recorded it herself. As a midtempo pop and synth-pop song, it offers electric guitarists a chance to explore atmospheric chord work and melodic phrasing that complements its powerful, emotive vocal-driven structure.

  • The song was co-written by Adele, making it one of the few Sia tracks with such a high-profile outside collaborator.
  • Originally written for Adele's album 25, the song changed hands before becoming a Sia lead single.
  • Produced by Jesse Shatkin, the track blends midtempo pop and synth-pop elements that translate well to clean electric guitar tones.

Fender Telecaster

Sia's studio sessions favor the Telecaster for its bright single-coil pickups that cut through dense synth and drum arrangements with clarity. The guitar's articulation helps every note punch through without muddying the midrange in her intricate productions.

The Jazzmaster's single-coil brightness and unique tonal character provide the articulation Sia needs in layered arrangements where definition matters. Its warm yet cutting tone complements her minimalist effects approach while maintaining presence in busy mixes.

Sia's live and session work uses the Twin Reverb's lush onboard reverb and clean headroom to capture natural amp warmth without saturation. The amp's vintage character delivers the spacious, reverb-drenched textures central to her production aesthetic.

The Deluxe Reverb provides Sia's session players with warmth and natural breakup in a more compact package than the Twin Reverb. Its built-in plate reverb emulation and responsive tube dynamics support her signature sparse, reverb-heavy effect chain.
