Consumer Guide Reviews:

Ctrl [RCA, 2017]
Self-starting, insecure eroticist negotiates the tricky web of pathways between love and sexual autonomy--tries to, anyway ("Weekend," "Doves in the Wind," "20 Something") ***

Stardom has definitely toned up a sex life that was pretty accomplished even when the guys had way more leverage than they deserved ("F2F," "Nobody Gets Me," "Special") ***
