Expression in its truest form, “Why Don’t You Love Me” is a high energy, pop-infused, house anthem, which is perfectly accompanied by the soaring and eloquent vocals of Daudia. As an eclectic artist with an extensively diverse music taste, Sam Allan perfects the main-stream dance sound on “Why Don’t You Love Me,” which embodies elements of emotional electronic, and house, intertwined with a hypnotizing topline from Daudia.
