    Funana then HAS to be that track that was playing in that insta video where she asked Mercy what she thought of the music. It has to be, and it sounded awesome in that clip with an accordion. đŸ˜đŸ‘đŸ»

    How many singles do you think this album will have? Some at infinity are talking about a 5 single stragety? Could that be? I mean no radio plays her songs

    It's not a conventional song by any means, but it KICKS ASS! Only M could make a catchy, disco, dance track which is basically a cry for gun reform and gun control! It's a political statement wrapped in Disco beats, violins and clapping sounds! I can NOT wait to see the video for this one, this is going to be epic, and DAMN controversial. I could see why Eurovision would not want this to be performed on their stage, but if it had been she would have had the world crawling at her feet!

    It sounds awesome. I am wondering why she is holding off releasing the much talked about video

    Okay, beware of spoilers, detailed review of God Control:

    The track opens with a continuation of the ending of Dark Ballet, you hear M huffing and puffing and breathing, then a solemn piano with M's vocals (she sounds like she has grills in her mouth, but for some reason it fits the tone of the lyrics, as her voice starts to get more and more aggrivated and aggresive as she continues). Talking about the state of the nation and how we need to wake up "When they talk reforms, it makes me laugh. They pretend to help, it makes me laugh." She finishes with "They say that we need love, but we need more then this", piano drops away for a bit, then the choir comes in full blast, repeating the line "We lost God Control". Then the track stops, and these disco tinged violins come in, you hear a few gun shots and bullet shells falling to the floor, a stewardess like vocal comes in saying "This is your wake-up call. I'm like your nightmare. I'm here to start your day!" Full on Disco instrumentation kicks in as M starts to sing "This is your wake-up call". Very catchy melody, with violins warbling, clapping, a fun beat, then comes the wordy rappinghood inspired rap section followed by a whispering M "everybody knows the damn truth, wake up" which goes into frantically warbling violins with a repeated and heavily vocodered Wake Up. Then later the violins drop out as the disco beat continues and she sings a new melody line "It's a weird kind of energy", then back into the vocodered wake-up, back to the wordy rappinghood rap. Then the track starts to build to a crescendo with the violins rising and falling, vocodered warbling "wake up, wake up, wake up" again. Instrumental bit with Mirwais' best take on disco. Then the track drops in energy as she screams in a processed voice "A NEW DEMOCRACY", as the music is low in energy she starts whispering the opening monologue again as the music starts to swell, this time with the Choir in the background, heavy chords slammed on the piano as the track grows and grows, untill only the choir remains repeating "We lost god control" untill they drop out as well and M repeats in a whispered voice "wake up wake up wake up" until it fades out!

    Is it too odd for a single? It sound really exciting. I only hreard parts here and there. I am looking forward to the video

    From the sound of those clips Killers is sonically so intruiging, it features the music that we could also hear in the Welcome To The World of Madame X Teaser video! Sooooooo cinematic and moody and twisted and dark!

    I agree, very dark, euphoric and perfect production but no way is Killers the drag queen video â˜ș
