Taking listeners on an emotional auditory journey, Josh Rubin, Highlnd, and nøll have reunited for their brand-new single, “Don’t Want To Feel”. The track opens with a beautiful guitar melody that leads into an uplifting but extremely chill bassline. Layered on top of both of these elements are passion-fueled lyrics from Josh, that provoke its audience to take a deeper look into themselves. Followed by a mesmerizing build and stand-alone ethereal vocals, “Don’t Want To Feel” pivots with an electrifying drop that fuses melodic dubstep and future bass soundscapes.
Sharing his inspiration behind the message and theme of “Don’t Want To Feel”, Josh says, “this song is basically me trying to explain to someone why I’ve become so emotionally
crippled. I’m very aware of some of the mistakes I often make in a relationship, but sometimes I feel like I’m conditioned to think and act that way based on past heartbreak that it’s almost impossible to break free of it. It sometimes seems easier to just be alone. At some point, I became so jaded to the idea of love and romance that I almost felt numb to an extent.” This sentimental analysis from Josh perfectly reflects the heart-wrenching melodies and other components of the anthem.
Creating a sense of balance between all three artists, “Don’t Want To Feel” embraces each of their unique styles and musical identities. Additionally, the collab showcases Josh, Highlnd, and nøll’s dedication to their craft and unrivaled talent. This incredible tune is just a preview of the thrilling future ahead for this innovative trio.
