“Control Freak” by Shannon Darcy is a powerful pop tune that has a plethora of hooks for people to sing along but also a nice original edge to it. It’s extremely well produced and arranged. There’s quite a few bits of sonic candy sprinkled all over it – thanks to producer Jim Hustwit, who’s done a fantastic job with the track.
While most pop tunes follow the exact same pattern – they use the same chords, same lyrical ideas and same hooks – Darcy’s delivered a song that is as far from a cookie-cutter pop tune as possible. It’s gritty and energetic … the lyrics kick ass and bite … and the melody leaves you wanting more. It’s clear she’s a very capable songwriter. But as good as her writing is, the true star of the song is her strong and nuanced vocal performance. What can I say? It’s sublime.
