Following the electrifying success of the fifth anniversary VIP remix of his global smash hit Breaking Me, German-Croatian DJ and producer, Topic returns with a brand-new single, Control Of Me, in collaboration with Zimbabwean internationally touring singer and songwriter Daecolm.
The track is now out on all streaming platforms having been released on January 24. It marks Topic’s first release of the year, and his second project with Daecolm following their unforgettable summer-defining anthem I Adore You.
According to a statement released earlier this week, Control Of Me is an exhilarating Afro-House production laced with intoxicating love-struck lyrics. Capturing the spellbinding moment when eyes lock across the dance floor, the refrain, “your eyes take control of me,” echoes throughout the track. Kicking off with Daecolm’s hypnotic vocals over a smooth Afro-inspired rhythm, the song immediately pulls listeners into its euphoric soundscape and gradually builds to a satisfying crescendo.
"Working with Daecolm again was incredible; his hypnotic voice and unique energy brought the vision to life in a way that feels raw and electrifying," read the statement. After the amazing journey we had with I Adore You, I knew we had to create something that pushed boundaries even further. This song is a celebration of those unforgettable moments when music and emotion take over. I couldn’t be more excited to kick off 2025 with this release and share it with the world," Topic revealed in a statement shared with Standard Style.
The single marks Topic’s first release of 2025 following a stellar year, including the huge success of I Adore You, his summer 2024 collaboration with Daecolm, which has amassed over 150 million streams to date.
Control Of Me shares the same DNA as I Adore You, but with attention to the evolution of the Afrohouse genre. Topic’s signature production and my unique ID as an artist is what the people really look forward to the most with this song," Daecolm added.
Topic has firmly established himself as one of the leading figures in electronic dance music. His breakout hit, Breaking Me with A7S (Swedish singer/DJ), has surpassed 6 billion streams, catapulting him to global stardom. With chart-topping tracks like Home featuring Nico Santos (German singer-songwriter), Your Love (9PM) with German singer-songwriter ATB and A7S, as well as Forget You with FAST BOY, a German electronic music and house duo.
Now entering a new chapter with the launch of his WILD KID label and party series, Topic continues to push boundaries and inspire. His ability to seamlessly blend global influences like Afro-House into his signature style is a testament to his artistry and versatility.
After 25 years abroad and creating hits for stars such as Chris Brown and Ty Dolla $ign, Daecolm is now carving his own path as a solo artist. With over 150 million streams on tracks like I Adore You, the Zimbabwean musician continues to redefine boundaries in Afro-House and electronic music.
