Elly Ball’s Control begins with a funky, layered approach that acts as a nice counterpoint for single’s poppy vocals.There’s a nice chiaroscuro exhibited during this composition with Ball’s soft and sly vocals interacting with the bassy synths. These two elements combine to make for an engrossing sound. The slowdown that occurs at around the 2:40 to 2:45 mark allows Ball to move into a vocal approach that draws from traditional vocal music. Fans of Portishead and Tori Amos will love Control; the song itself can easily crossover from the alt to pop charts with nary a sweat broken.
