Knoxville, Tennessee synth pop/cinematic pop/ new wave artist The New Romantics (aka multi-instrumentalist Brandon Biondo) has premiered his new single “Control“.
The song is out today, July 30 and follows on from his double single “One Kiss / Don’t Hear You Laughing Now”, released in April. Grab it here.
Biondo’s work combines a strong melodic sensibility with a careful attention to sonic detail, and the stylistic diversity of The New Romantics underlines the sheer variety of music that he has played throughout his career. As a member of projects like Coolrunnings, Walsh, and Royal Bangs, Biondo is a long-time lynchpin of the Knoxville, Tennessee music scene, and his work combines a strong melodic sensibility with a careful attention to sonic detail.

The New Romantics “Control” Lyrics:
One thing that I won’t do
Be the fool so in love with you
You can say anything
I’m always right where I wanted to be
You tell the lie, You’re acting tough
But I’ll decide when you’ve had enough
I’ve seen everything
I can be who you want me to be
[1]
Infatuate me
Take control
You fascinate me
You can have it all
Do you want to be
The one who wants to take control?
You can’t decide who you want to be
But baby I’m so in love with me
You can say anything
I’m always right where I wanted to be
You can lie, you’ve been acting tough
But I’ll decide when I’ve had enough
I’ve seen everything
I can be who you want me to be
Repeat [1] (x2)
Control
