It’s hard to believe I’ve been writing about Eliott since 2019, but we still haven’t heard her debut album. But you know what they say about good things coming to those who wait. That album isn’t too far away, but she’s just dropped a fabulous new single to tide us over. If you’ve ever directed your affection toward someone who didn’t share your feelings, “Control” will resonate with you.
“Control is about unreciprocated love,” Eliott confirmed. “It is about feeling isolated and vulnerable and coming to terms with the fact that you can’t force someone’s affection when you have already given them everything”
Charles Buxton-Leslie directed the music video, which features 18-year-old Mexican-born Eora/Sydney dancer Diego Garcia Rendon.
“The song has such incredible build and release moments which we followed with the music video,” Charles explained. “We wanted to explore a story of emotional release and helping each other through shared experiences.”
Hold on just a little bit longer Eliott fans. Her debut album will be here before you know it.
