Sabrina Nejmah – “Don’t You Worry”

A brass-touched, soulful pop charmer from Sabrina Nejmah, “Don’t You Worry” achieves a breezily melodic allure amidst relatable lyrics — encouraging trust and confidence when a relationship appears poised for uncertain times. The Hamburg, Germany-based artist harnesses the setting of a space ship — “cruising through an empty space, just you and me” — and the daily routine that comes with it, while also focusing on a couple presently wondering about the next step. “You say ‘don’t you worry, we will see,'” Nejmah’s magnetic vocals conclude the track, providing a warming reassurance from one partner to another, even as they traverse the unknowns of space.

A riveting production shines throughout “Don’t You Worry,” which represents Nejmah’s second single. Blaring brass and light organs stir initially, as lush guitar pulses combine with Nejmah’s smooth vocals thereafter — making for an aesthetic that’s lovably reminiscent of the band Camera Obscura in its lush vocal work and head-nodding pop/rock cohesion. “I report my observations,” the lead vocals let out, bolstered by reflective harmonies. The jangling guitars, comforting brass, and seamless vocal alternations — between the lusher verses and more fervently contemplative ascent — lead a fantastic, replay-inducing journey through the unknowns of space and a relationship. “Don’t You Worry” marks a thorough success from Sabrina Nejmah.

This and other tracks featured this month can be streamed on the updating Obscure Sound’s ‘Emerging Singles’ Spotify playlist.
