"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, it also 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, and produced by Anders Wågberg and Stefan Warnberg.[2] The accompanying music video features the band performing in a club.
Larry Flick from Billboard magazine 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] Pan-European magazine Music & Media wrote about the album, "Here and there a heavy synth hookline refers to its Euro roots most prominently on the title track of SDC's debut album Gravity. It sneaks into the background on the current European single 'Don't Go Breaking My Heart', the Swedish single 'I Wonder Why' or the track 'I'm Alive'. These tracks feature the pop reggae element which typifies the Ace of Base sound."[4]
