Lee Ann Roberts is entering a new phase of her career with the launch of ‘TAKE CONTROL’, a project positioned as the clearest representation yet of her evolving sound and artistic identity.
Rather than presenting a simple stylistic shift, the forthcoming body of work arrives as a more complete statement. Built around themes of control, pressure, emotional intensity and transformation, the project draws together the different elements that have shaped Lee Ann’s rise across international electronic music.
The first glimpse arrives through opening single ‘IN THE SHADOWS’, out now.
The track immediately establishes the tone for what follows. Blending driving techno energy with psytrance influence, ‘IN THE SHADOWS’ balances punchy rhythm work with a stronger melodic core. A distinctive vocal presence cuts through the arrangement while tension gradually builds around it, creating a sound that feels equally suited to peak-time moments and larger festival settings.
That tension continues throughout the wider project. Tracks including ‘IN YOUR MIND’ move into darker and more haunting territory through acid-driven textures and hypnotic movement, while ‘THE NIGHT GOES ON’ places vocal identity and relentless forward momentum at the centre of its energy. Elsewhere, the title track ‘TAKE CONTROL’ introduces a more spacious atmosphere without sacrificing intensity.
Closing moments across the release also shift direction. ‘OUT OF THE DARK’ pushes towards direct dancefloor energy through rolling percussion and heavier low-end movement, while ‘BACK TO THE RHYTHM’ offers a more restrained and reflective conclusion, reconnecting with Lee Ann’s earlier roots through mood and subtle emotional depth.
The project itself mirrors Lee Ann Roberts' wider journey. Born in South Africa and shaped by constant reinvention, her career has steadily grown through uncompromising performances and an increasingly recognisable sound that now sits between psytrance tension, hard techno pressure and emotionally driven electronic production.
With ‘TAKE CONTROL’, Lee Ann Roberts appears less interested in reinvention for its own sake and more focused on sharpening what already exists. If ‘IN THE SHADOWS’ is the opening signal, the direction ahead feels very clear.
