GABRIEL MUNOZ - Don't Want Me
Los Angeles, United States
Gabriel Munoz is back with a bang! 'Don't Want Me' is a moody club track detailing the aftermath of rejection incorporated into a dance track that will definitely get you moving. It's fun in structure but somber in lyrics. Gabriel let us know that he "wrote this after a guy told me he didn't like me back, and it was therapeutic and empowering as hell. Hope you relate (and dance)!" and you know what? We felt it in both its pain and through dance. We love artists who incorporate their pain into art and this track has definitely done so.
