The Oceanator remix of talker’s “Don’t Want You To Love Me” adds a layer of disorienting sound on top of its already luxuriant and bright melodies. The songwriter already turned a song about insecurity and desperation and the anxiety and ambivalence that can come from strong emotions. Especially when you’re not sure that’s what you really feel. The song is a both a reaching out and an acknowledgment of being kind of a mess that you might not want to inflict on someone else and often times not on yourself except that you have to live with the familiarity of your own drives, passions and as yet un-processed dysfunctional ways. But talker, particularly in this remix, makes it seem so exuberant like she’s owning her flaws in the song and encouraging others to do so and daring to have those feelings in spite of the voices in your own head that undermine your efforts.
