MN Moder – Just Forget It (2023)

Facing more obstacles and challenges than most, MN Moder is no stranger to adversity. In an interview with Voyage Minnesota, MN Moder shared that he has been “homeless and lost everything multiple times to start over…” Yet, while being dealt these harsh blows, the US-based musician continues to help others to overcome their obstacles and “be the person you were meant to be rather than who other people or society want you to be…” Performing under the moniker MN Moder, Zachary Moder has reached individuals on an international scale turning heads with his message of empowerment.

From his debut album Modervation to the most recent single ‘Just Forget It’, MN Moder aims to create something new each time. Recorded at Pinnacle Pointe Studios with Jason Szklarek, the new single combines elements of RnB, hip-hop and soul in a melodic single. Interestingly enough, while the tune has a distorted sound with various beats contributing to a chaotic creativity, it is also smooth and mellifluous.

Unlike his previous single ‘Shooting Star’, ‘Just Forget It’ is far edgier with a bite to its tone. Elegantly playing with various genres, MN Moder traipses across soulful RnB with feisty dance beats in ‘Just Forget It’. Moder shares that he has “been enjoying exploring more into the RnB territory over the last year since I released my RnB EP Sweet Dreams”.

While the melody can hold its own as a soul-stirring song, it is the lyricism that showcases Moder’s depth as an artist. Personal and intimate, ‘Just Forget It’ is a combination of past relationships and situations where Moder “told past lovers to just forget it”. Tapping into feelings of frustration and exasperation there is a bitterness to the annoying position; however, just as the electric beats gnaw at your side, the soulful RnB vibe brings things to a harmonic unity.
