Review: Tori Lattore - "Take Control"

Staff Review -

You know, I've been sitting with Tori Lattore's new track *"Take Control"* for a minute, and there's something really special happening here.

It's part of this *Island Wave Riddim* project from ZJ Sparks and Loud City, and honestly, it's hitting different. Lattore's always had these flashes of brilliance in her singles, but this time? She's really found her pocket.

It's pretty cool seeing how this came together. You've got ZJ Sparks, who's basically dancehall royalty at this point, linking up with Dan and MG out in Seattle. They're doing this really interesting thing where they're keeping that authentic island foundation but weaving in these subtle electronic touches.

The whole thing just feels... thoughtful, you know?

Like they really took their time with it instead of just rushing something out..

The way Lattore rides this beat is something else. Her voice has this way of just... floating over everything while still keeping this quiet strength to it. The hook gets stuck in your head, but not in that annoying way – more like it just feels right at home there.

What really gets me thinking is how this track kind of pushes back against what's becoming normal in the scene. These days, you hear so many riddims that sound like they came off an assembly line, but this? This feels crafted. It's like ZJ Sparks and Loud City are quietly showing everyone that you don't have to follow the formula to make something that hits.

When you step back and look at the bigger picture, *"Take Control"* feels like one of those moments where everything just clicks. Lattore's showing us what she's really capable of, and this production team is proving they know exactly what they're doing in pushing dancehall forward. It's pretty exciting to see where this might lead.
