The Australian singer-songwriter who needs no introduction, Sia, released music video for her new song, “Santa’s Coming For Us.” The album from which this single came has a name that posits something that can never be true. Sia released Christmas Is Everyday only days before releasing a video for its opener. The album includes ten songs that all have a different take on end-of-year musical traditions.

“Santa’s Coming For Us” turns a popular song title on its head. What had been a jovial disincentive for bad behavior—‘Santa’s coming to town—becomes a lock-you-door warning. The video depicts an exaggeratedly ideal suburban Christmas dinner that looks like a scene from Jordan Peele’s Get Out. Led by actress Kristen Bell, a family goes about its business preparing for guests. A father fiddles with Christmas lights; children sing backup for their mother as she puts finishing touches on the house. The glitz of this family invites viewers to foresee a sinister ending. It is a relief to see J.B. Smoove poke his head out of a chimney as guests start to arrive. A whole cast of cameos proceed into the house, including Dax Shepherd, Henry Winkler, Susan Lucci and Caleb McLaughlin.

Conrad Brittenham: My name is Conrad. I am one year out of college and pursuing a career in writing and journalism. I studied literature at Bard College, in the Hudson Valley. My thesis focuses on the literal and figurative uses of disease in Herman Melville’s most famous works, including Moby-Dick, Benito Cereno, and Billy Budd. My literary research on the topic of disease carried over to more historical findings about how humans tend to deal with and think about the problem of virus and infectivity. I’ve worked at a newspaper and an ad agency, as well as for the past year at an after school program, called The Brooklyn Robot Foundry. All of these positions have influenced the way I approach my work, my writing, and the way I interact with others in a professional setting. I’ve lived in London and New York, and have always had a unique perspective on international cultural matters. I am an avid drawer and a guitarist, but I would like to eventually work for a major news publication as an investigative journalist.
