Simple keys and plenty of space, a colourful, minimalist introduction, to an alt-pop single both hopeful and uniquely recognisable. Bee-Pet and Becky Gaber join forces, for the optimistic energy and powerful reminder that is Don’t Forget.
Quirky by nature and based around a meandering piano-part and equally freestyle-seeming voice, Don’t Forget draws focus to the little things in life that can light up our day. The progression is joyful, the tone in keeping with that aura, and breaking up each rhythmic vocal outpouring is a brief interlude from the likes of strings or other voices.
The vocal rhythm is a huge part of the song’s sense of playful character, the melody almost theatrical in its regimented and near spoken delivery – mildly robotic and clearly contrasting the inherent sense of liberty that is the song’s core. The track also features a brief moment of choir-backed fullness and celebration towards its final fifth – another creative choice that feels both purposeful and uplifting in reinforcing the central themes and rise and fall melody of the song.
From smiling, laughing, and connecting with nature, to embracing the simple pleasures of food and daily life, Don’t Forget is a creatively distinct ode to all that makes life wonderful, and it speaks volumes on behalf of the creative intentions of producer and songwriter Bee-Pet.
Positive vibes and healing frequencies are the lifeblood of Bee-Pet’s approach to production. The creative is forever inspired by life and the beauty of the natural world, and as such carves out an organic, unconfined style, which proves unique to his own sense of freedom as an artist.
