Tove Lo Sings New ALOK & Ilkay Sencan Song, “Don’t Say Goodbye”
We don’t know about you, but we love it when international artists get together to make sweet music. Today, we’re loving the new single, “Don’t Say Goodbye,” composed by Brazilian DJ ALOK, Turkish DJ Ilkay Sencan, and Swedish pop star Tove Lo.
“Don’t Say Goodbye” builds an electronic dance beat, adding in dynamic instruments and sounds to make a richer sound. Tove sings the whole song, painting a picture of unrequited love. She’s craving someone special, but, sadly, they keep her waiting. Even so, it’s an infectious song, especially on the chorus. When Tove switches out her staccato singing for a more legato sound, it’s magic.
The accompanying lyric video is pretty lo-fi. Against backdrop of a starry night sky, the glowing neon lyrics fly by like we’re watching Star Wars. Tove spends the whole time dancing in front of it, switching between two different outfits but always exuding the same confidence.
