French-Israeli indie duo Charlotte & Magon just released the second single from their upcoming album Lyrical Miracle. The inspiration for the track is drawn from Magon’s military experience in the Israeli army. It’s a storming anti-conscription rock opera protest song invoking a sense of sympathy with Magon’s cries of “I don’t wanna go” echoing the soaring vocals of Charlotte narrating his perspective.
The somewhat eerie content of the music is juxtaposed by dreamy instrumentation and upbeat rhythms throughout. I don’t Wanna Go is accompanied by a music video directed by New York based David Lombroso, depicting the effects of Magon’s forced service contrasting colour splattered scenes with coffin-bearing faceless soldiers.
