"'Don't Go Breaking My Heart'" is a 1995 song recorded by Swedish band Sonic Dream Collective, released as the second single from their debut album, 'Gravity' (1995). A big club hit, it reached number five on the US 'Billboard' Hot Dance Breakouts Club Play Top 5 list in 1997. It is sung by lead vocalist Linn Engstrm, who also co-wrote the lyrics with Gibril Jobe. A music video was also produced to promote the single, featuring the band performing in a club.
Critical reception
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."
Polish version
Shortly after the release of the song "Don't Go Breaking My Heart", the Polish version of the song "Nie jestem za" was created, performed by Magdalena Sokoowska, 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.
