Brazilian superstar DJ Alok has joined forces with Turkish producer Ilkay Sencan and pop-sensation Tove Lo on a new single ‘Don’t Say Goodbye’. Released on September 25th through Sony Music/B1, the track marks the first collaboration between the three artists.
Leading the single with Tove Lo’s euphoric vocals, she lends her ethereal melodies over Alok and Ilkay Sencan’s textured beats to create a truly-intoxicating track. Limitless in its ability to transport the listener straight to the dance floor, ‘Don’t Say Goodbye’ has all the necessary ingredients to become a global sensation. No strangers to producing record-breaking singles, Alok and Tove Lo have each garnered over 2 billion streams respectively across streaming platforms whilst Ilkay has impacted the global market, boasting over 200 million Youtube views.
Tove Lo remarks ‘Don’t Say Goodbye’ is “such a hypnotic banger of a track. I’m so happy that Alok and Ilkay wanted me to be a part of this cause I think we did some real dance magic here. One of the most productive things I did in lockdown too, we recorded it remotely across LA, São Paulo, and Istanbul in the spring. Can’t wait to be able to play it for all of you, and be able to dance together again to it… soon please.”
Alok writes about the collaboration, “I have always loved Tove Lo’s versatility as an artist and how she’s so hands-on with her own production. When I heard she wanted to be involved in the production of this track, I was excited to see how she would put her own spin on the single. Tove, Ilkay and I put a lot of hard work and dedication into Don’t Say Goodbye and I hope it becomes part of people’s normal listening routine as it has for us. “
Ilkay adds, “It’s been a great experience working with Alok and Swedish songstress Tove Lo on the song, and even though we have been working from different continents, I believe the end result is the reason why it sounds so cool and unique. I hope that people will feel the same good vibe as we do.”
