A personal, quirky anthem, ‘Control My Pride’ sees Jacob Chacko embracing a highly authentic, honest and self-critical ethos, empowering listeners to live their lives free of pride and egotistical thoughts. It’s not an easy path to go down, and the American songwriter knows it well, tenderly and gently inviting us all into his nuanced artistic universe. Built on a generally uplifting and hypnotic instrumental, ‘Control My Pride’ provides the perfect aural background for Chacko’s potent, playful vocals. The song never feels too serious or self-reliant, instead aiding a sunny, carefree, and helpful listening experience.
Delving deeper into the topic, Chacko explains: “The message is simple: the idea of controlling one’s pride is to ground oneself in humility and reality. One needs to self-reflect on the mindset, more importantly, seek feedback and guidance, with the hope of becoming a better person.” Such a radical statement is then delivered in musical form by a stream of groovy and vibrant pop-lenient goodness. Jacob’s malleable, fierce vocals are the perfect match for such a relevant and meaningful tune.
Alongside Jacob Chacko, ‘Control My Pride’ features co-vocal producer Thomas Monaco, sound engineer Les Lovell, drummer Mike Dawson, and backing singer Talya Gelfand. The piece is taken from the upcoming EP ‘Give Me The Good Stuff’. Stay tuned!
