“I just need something that’s real,” sings Leigh-Anne (of Little Mix fame). The beat comes on thick, leaving the emotions to bubble up to the surface. With “Don’t Say Love,” the singer hits the dance floor for a groovy little ode to love and her longing for the kind of connection that’s far deeper and richer. “I feel like I just can’t be myself,” she sings. “Can you be strong / I don’t wanna be with someone else.” But, she urges, “Don’t say love if that’s not what you’re chasing.” Her words decorate around a glossy, club-ready production that sticks right to the brain.
