Los Angeles, CA (July, 2018) -- Control Vol. 1 by pop artist Joel Vaughn, is out now on DREAM Records.  The five-song EP album is a beautiful representation of Joel's evolution as an artist.  He co-produced songs on the album with Patrick Mayberry, Justin Morgan and Carter Frodge and co-wrote with Ross King, Benji Cowart, Justin Morgan, Paul Duncan, Patrick Mayberry, Daniel Doss, Carter Frodge, and Rebekah White.

Control Vol. 1 is the follow up to his two past projects on DREAM titled, Kinetic and Surrender as well as his single offering to the God's Not Dead: A Light In Darkness soundtrack where he also made a cameo in the film.  His first single "Pray It Up" recently debuted on the Billboard Christian National Audience Chart and is currently at #45.  The song has also garnered over 800,000 streams across all retail accounts.

Reviews have been coming in on Control Vol. 1.  Check out what everybody's saying about the album:
