Ruby Gill - 'Some Kind Of Control'

Joburg-born, Naarm/Melbourne-based pianist, guitarist & singer-songwriter Ruby Gill magicks her melancholic lyrical wizardry with new single + video 'Some Kind Of Control'.
An arrestingly minimalist introspection on what it feels like to simultaneously feel utterly in, and out, of control - “the most perfect way to start sharing a new chapter of music.” 'Some Kind Of Control' is Gill’s first official release since her acclaimed debut album I'm gonna die with this frown on my face (2022) and is out everywhere now.
Earmarking a new chapter of self-acceptance and musical rawness for the acclaimed artist, 'Some Kind Of Control' reflects an assuredness and an unflinching honesty that can only come with time, and a dedication to going to the end of every feeling. It was inspired by the all new freedom and day-to-day power Ruby Gill suddenly had during Naarm/Melbourne’s extensive lockdown while simultaneously, like so many others, wrestling with an absolute lack of control over the circumstances - a duality she hadn’t experienced before. Ruby Gill shares, "I had been grappling with what it meant to have all and no control over my time and body - all at once. In a big way, the world was in charge, but also in a day-to-day way, I had all the power: I could move freely through my kitchen and clothes and kindness however I wished - it was a new experience for me after feeling quite trapped in some difficult spaces and systems for a long time - “always babysitting other people’s arguments instead of my own” as the lyrics say. I feel like this song encompasses so much of what I've learnt and reclaimed in the past few years, and feels very reflective musically of my true, silly, powerful self and community."
One of rock’s great songwriters, Paul Weller is rightly celebrated for his punchy, poetic brand of punk. Yet look closer at his work with The Jam, venture beyond to his time with The Style Council, and dive into his decades-long solo career, and you’ll find another genre which has influenced practically everything he’s ever made: soul music.
