A moody, soulful effort aesthetically reminiscent of Toro y Moi, “Don’t” is a recent track from Richard Berger. Noting that “Don’t” is “a song about calling out the lack of real communication in a relationship,” Berger shows an emotive, atmospheric sound with engrossing retrospection. Spacey synths and a funk-infused bass line build to the professional chorus, punctuated beautifully in the final minute by additional, lovely synth adornments. “I’m not so sure,” Berger sings, effectively conveying a feeling of sitting at the crossroads. “Don’t” succeeds with relatable lyrical emotion and gratifying atmospheric production.
The track comes via Berger’s new album, Where Did It Go.
