Although the original idea was written by Richie Flo in 2015 for a riddim by London-based producer, Dj Kamar, the project halted. Yet as they say, everything happens for a reason. Richie Flo felt that the piano in the riddim was nice, but in his words, “I had to do something sexy for the ladies”.

Connecting with Toronto-based producer, Izaak Wapachee of Contrahype Productions, the production was revamped in 2016. After crossing paths with Ms Paige at a Toronto industry event the collaboration was seemingly, written in the stars. With a release date of July 1, 2016, “CONTROL ME” is bound to raise the temperature for the summer. Look out for this and more from Ms Paige.
