Ryan Shepherd & Mougleta Drop New Anthem “Losing All Control”

In their new collaboration “Losing All Control,” Canadian producer Ryan Shepherd and vocalist Mougleta deliver a polished, high-tempo entry into the vocal house genre—a style increasingly saturated but still open to careful innovation. The track, distributed through major streaming services and likely to find placement on global EDM playlists, illustrates both artists’ strategic progression within a competitive and rapidly evolving scene. While the track itself does not radically disrupt genre conventions, it serves a purpose: expanding their respective reach and sustaining momentum built through years of gradual, deliberate development.

Ryan Shepherd, based in Toronto, has spent the last decade constructing a steady reputation within electronic music circles. His early recognition came through the Tiësto-backed Fill Me In with Loud Luxury, which earned widespread club play and introduced him to global listeners. Since then, Shepherd has built a catalogue marked by steady collaborations and releases through labels like Spinnin’, Armada, and AFTR:HRS—a trajectory common among producers aiming to sustain relevance while refining their sonic identity. What Shepherd brings to “Losing All Control” is consistent with his style: tempo-driven builds, clean transitions, and a tendency to foreground vocals without overwhelming the rhythm section.

Those vocals come from Mougleta, a Dubai-born, Canadian-raised singer whose career arc has moved in parallel with the increasing globalization of pop-inflected dance music. With sync placements in ABC, Netflix, and the Formula 1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Mougleta’s music has circulated in settings where visibility matters—TV, sports, and online advertising. Her voice in “Losing All Control” is less about personal narrative and more about mood: slightly detached, rhythmically clipped, and tailored for a track that relies on functionality in club environments. She is not aiming for lyrical intimacy, and that’s arguably the point.

The song itself follows a familiar architecture: atmospheric intro, vocal-led verses, a synth-led build, and a drop calibrated for live performance. There is no major departure from Ryan Shepherd’s prior releases, but the inclusion of Mougleta allows for broader accessibility, particularly among listeners who respond to vocal-driven electronic music that slots easily into playlists and live sets. There is clarity in its intention: the track is not trying to be a breakout single; it is trying to be effective.

For Mougleta, this collaboration marks another step in what appears to be a measured ascent. Artists like Daya, GRACEY, and RAYE have used dance features as entry points into solo pop careers, often pivoting toward more narrative-driven material once they’ve built enough audience recognition. Whether Mougleta follows that arc remains to be seen, but her work here is consistent with that blueprint.
