“After many years of experiencing abuse and violence in my life, I had a moment of revelation and liberation; I understood that I could take back my personal power and decided I wouldn’t be a victim anymore. I had the courage and strength to just walk away and take 100% responsibility for my happiness and well-being. I wrote this song 10 years ago, and from that moment on, I completely changed my life. Today I’m a strong and independent woman, committed to shine and inspire others to do the same.”
The single lasts around three minutes and sits at 95bpm. A fourteen second introductory section sets the tone and paves the way for the main vocal line. The layered vocal harmonies showcase Arimatea’s impressive musicality. The stylistic vocal color flows seamlessly with the instrumental accompaniment and sits prominently in the mix. The melodic brass combines with the rhythmic percussion, memorable guitar and foundational bass to provide the perfect platform for the vocal line.
The use of backing-vocals for the main hook delivers just the right amount of dynamic diversity to keep the single captivating from beginning to end. Arimatea’s impressive freestyle-esque lead vocal melody kicks in from around 2:27 to 2:50 and acts as the climax to the track, preparing the way for the outro. By the time ‘I Don't Need You’ draws to a close, you’ll find yourself humming along with the catchy hook and in need of hitting that repeat button for another listen.
From the well balanced mix and dynamic instrumentation, to the authentic vocal performance, fans of Arimatea, as well as those who appreciate new music, will definitely want to hear this single.
