about

"Fly" included in The Controversy's second album "Don't Count On Me". The Los Angeles electronic art-pop duo invites you on a journey through intricate electronic beats, psychedelic ambiance and unusual pop melodies. With U&I Magazine naming their single "Queen of Chinatown" as #1 Single of 2014, FourCulture Magazine proclaiming the band as one of the Best Artist of 2014 and recent features and premieres on Buzzbands LA, Free Bike Valet Magazine, The Deli Magazine, Polari UK, Impose Magazine, there's expectation being build around the duo's second album "Don't Count On Me", to be released on February 2015.

Originally from Spain and Denmark, The Controversy's sound is influenced by artists like St Vincent, Beck, Air, Miike Snow, Portishead, Bjork and Massive Attack and has been described as a "seamless mash up of electronica with psychedelic rock". The Controversy has released two singles ("Queen of Chinatown" and "Two Voices") from their upcoming second album and will release a third one, “You Know” on January 12th.

lyrics

Fly, fly

I wanna run,
Holding my hands high,
Shake it all away.

Scream like the devils' sent
As I'm a castaway.

And like there's no tomorrow,
Nor yesterday,
Just today.

I wanna jump,
I wanna play it all the way.

And fly
Fly

I wanna sing
Top of my lungs
You wanna sing with me?

Dance like a mad man
As you've always seen me do

Roll on the floor
Asking for more
Don't matter where I go

And laugh the loudest,
Let them stare,
They just don't dare.

And fly
Fly

Don't break me now
Don't break me now
Don't break me

Don't break me now
Don't break me now
Don't break me
I wanna go
A thousand places
Like never before

I wanna live this life,
Ride it all the way

Never look back
Keep running fast
No need to catch my breath

I'm gonna sing
Top of my lungs
Come sing with me.

And fly
Fly
