Music News - Estère's reveals new single 'Control Freak'
22 September 2017 - 0 Comments
Opening with an army of propulsive rhythmic
strikes before the attention is stolen by an exuberant synth solo, Control Freak is Estère's
latest track - born out of her love of percussion and an innate desire to
explore the many different sides of 'control'.
Today, the Wellingtonian producer and performing artist shares the new track
with the world. Written, recorded and produced by Estère, and mixed
by Simon Gooding,
the new song sets out to explore how control can be given and taken away.
If someone has something you want, what are you willing to do in order to get

the MPC is back.
About My Design / On
Others' Lives:
“I’ve always been
fascinated by other people. But there was a period in my life where I went a
little crazy. I was coping with a variety of stresses and there was a traumatic
incident that left me feeling disconnected and literally out of my body for a
couple of months. I was really terrified I was going to stay feeling like that
forever. But during that period of detachment from myself it was like I became
more connected to other things. I read a list of autobiographies and philosophy
books, I experienced the world differently and after coming out of that
state - I became terminally interested in the live’s of other’s.” - Estère
Breaking conventional barriers is a pivotal element in Estère’s two-part, sophomore album My Design, On Other’s Lives. She didn't want anyone else to record or produce it and she didn’t want to write songs about love (except to her Grandmother).
Recorded at her home studio in a suburban 40’s Wellington villa,
Estère’s production paints a canvas of unique juxtaposition. Citing the meaty
side of electronic music with succulent bass and weighty drums then contrasting
it with warm acoustic textures paired with the ethereal side of pop/jazz
melodies, it’s clear why Estère stands apart in her own genre, Electric Blue
Witch-Hop.
With her obsessive interest in collecting and recording samples, a plethora of
original sonic sprinklings can be found on every song off the album. The
backdrop to Vietnam is the hiss and sway of Bamboo trees Estère recorded in Tam
Coc (Vietnam), whilst the sound of her Mum’s vintage telephone punches the
chorus in Rent.
