Donate to support families affected by the crisis in Ukraine ➔ Mandi Crimmins Releases New Song “LOSE CONTROL”
Los Angeles-based alt-rock singer-songwriter Mandi Crimmins released the first single of 2024 called “LOSE CONTROL” on February 2, 2024.
The song is the follow-up to “SELF-DESTRUCT”, which was released last September.
It was written by Amanda Crimmins, and Andre Tempfer who also produced the track.
The accompanying music video was directed by Shelby Lee Parks.
The track stems from a very dark and painful trauma that Crimmins experienced when she was in college.
Mandi Crimmins said of the song, “I was groomed and trafficked by someone older who I thought was my friend. It took me nearly 7 years and a lot of therapy to accept that it happened. Because accepting it happened meant accepting that I was never in control and that I was a pawn. I wanted to tell my story publicly without shame, in hopes that it might bring peace, validation, and community to someone who might be struggling with the same thing.”- The track features powerful rock sound with a bass-heavy. She said, “It made the whole piece come together and really drove home the emotion fueling it.”
Her music is crafted with her storytelling lyrics and vulnerability.
She said of her music, “My music heals me and is for my community first and foremost. I feel that if I have to have had these experiences, I want something good to come from them. And giving others like me a sense of community, love and a safe space to heal is paramount to all purposes.” -
