Take Control is an energetic track that will immediately provide listeners with Hannah Dorman’s inimitable style. There are hints of 90s rock, alternative, and an 80s tradition. With equal hints Stevie Nicks and Joan Osbourne, this is an effort that is intense, dense, and fulfilling from beginning to end.
Of particular note during Take Control has to be the instrumental dynamic that is created between the guitars, drums, and Dorman’s narrative-heavy vocals. What results is a single that will resound loudly with listeners long after the track has ceased; the bit of edge that Take Control has provides a proper highlighting for Dorman’s voice, making this into a track that will work admirably on a number of radio stations.
Rating: 8.7/10
