"Don't Go Breaking My Heart" is a song recorded by Swedish band Sonic Dream Collective, released in 1995 by Remixed Records and Epic as the second single from the band's debut album, Gravity (1995). Becoming a hit in clubs, the song reached number five on the US Billboard Hot Dance Breakouts Club Play Top 5 list in 1997.[1] It is sung by lead vocalist Linn Engström, who also co-wrote the lyrics with Gibril Jobe.[2] The accompanying music video for "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" features the band performing in a club.

Critical reception

[edit]

Larry Flick from Billboard wrote that the song "chugs with a synth-happy, reggae-spiced beat and a bit of throat-ravaging toasting by Gibril "Mr. Gee" Jobe." He added that "the focal point of the track, however, is singer Linn Engstrom, who has a reedy voice and an icy-cool delivery."[3]

Polish version

[edit]

Shortly after the release of the song "Don't Go Breaking My Heart", the Polish version of the song "Nie jestem zła" was created, performed by Magdalena Sokołowska, who used her name as a stage pseudonym in the 1990s. This singer created songs on the borderline of Eurodance and Polish dance music known as disco polo.[4][5]
