‘Don’t Tell Me No’ is a classy new collaboration between talented jazz singer Eva Scolaro and producer Steen Thottrup, who created the song together directly after a chance meeting in Bali – nice! Lead by a lush, sultry vocal performance from Eva which is underpinned by Steen’s downtempo house undercurrents, ‘Don’t Tell Me No’ is teased with a bubbling bass hook and heavenly piano licks. The package also sports a set of remixes – Denmark’s Anders Ponsaing flexes his balearic grooves to the full, Laut & Leise deliver a magical chill out version and Freisig & Comaro create an uptempo and dub mix, both oozing with energetic retro progressive sensibilities.
