In a bold departure from his usual repertoire, Cormac has unveiled a heartfelt rendition of Sia’s iconic track, “Titanium.” This reimagination takes on a more ballad-like form, focusing on the lyrics and vocals to convey the song’s emotional depth in a fresh and captivating way. Recognizing the futility of trying to replicate Sia’s powerhouse vocals, Cormac embraces the opportunity to infuse the song with his unique artistry before his voice undergoes its natural transformation.

To further enhance the message of resilience conveyed by the song, Cormac teamed up with talented Irish filmmaker Sean Treacy. The accompanying music video portrays a young dancer named Hannah, who grapples with performance anxiety and mental health struggles. Ultimately, she triumphs over adversity, delivering a powerful message of resilience and hope. Cormac’s personal connection to the song resonates deeply, as it was the very tune he was scheduled to perform in the semi-finals of BGT (Britain’s Got Talent), only to have the opportunity abruptly withdrawn.
With his rendition of “Titanium,” Cormac showcases his artistic evolution and unwavering commitment to delivering poignant and relatable music. Stay tuned for more captivating releases as Cormac continues to captivate audiences with his emotive vocals and introspective song choices.
