"Don't Go Breaking My Heart" is a 1995 song recorded by Swedish band Sonic Dream Collective. It was their breakthrough single and a big hit in clubs. "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" reached number 5 on Billboards Hot Dance Breakouts Club Play top 5 list in 1997.[1] The single is taken from the debut album, Gravity and is sung by lead vocalist Linn Engström, who also wrote the lyrics with Gibril Jobe.[2]

Critical reception

Larry Flick from Billboard wrote that the song "chugs with a synth-happy, reggae-spiced beat and a bit of throat-ravaging toasting by Gibril "Mr. Gee" Jobe." He noted that "the focal point of the track, however, is singer Linn Engstrom, who has a reedy voice and an icy-cool delivery."[3]
