Self Control

Laura Branigan released *Self Control* in 1984, just as she was beginning to make a name for herself in the music world. The album came out in April, and it was clear from the start that it had something special. The songs featured a blend of soft ballads and upbeat rhythms that gave them a modern feel, yet always retained the sensitivity that defined her style.

About the album

Self Control, according to DoReSol

In the first year, several singles were released. "Self Control" was one of the standout tracks and became a hit. It climbed to number four on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart and also performed well in Canada and several European countries. Another song, "The Lucky One," reached number twenty on the same chart. And her cover of Umberto Tozzi’s "Ti Amo" peaked at number two in Australia and number five in Canada.

Later, in 2013, an updated edition of the album was released. It included some remixes, such as those of “The Lucky One” and “Satisfaction,” and a longer version of “Self Control.” It was a way to bring the album back into the spotlight for those who knew it and those who had never heard it.
