Rhett Repko has never been one to sit still musically, and his latest single, “Don’t Delay,” is proof of just how effortlessly he can reinvent himself. Best known for his guitar-charged indie-rock anthems, Repko takes a sharp left turn here, diving headfirst into disco-laced alt-pop with a track that feels built for late-night dance floors and carefree summer drives. It’s a bold pivot, but one that works seamlessly—crossing synth-heavy textures with his unmistakable knack for sticky hooks and earworm choruses.
“Don’t Delay” is a song about chasing romance, but it’s delivered with a breezy playfulness that makes it less about yearning and more about seizing the moment. Prince-inspired shouty verses crash into buoyant choruses, while a bouncy groove keeps the whole track in motion. Repko explains that he wanted something fun and unpredictable—a song that thrives in a live setting—and you can hear that spontaneity in every shouted line and Stratocaster strum.
The accompanying video leans into a darker, trippy visual palette, trading beaches and pastel tones for neon-soaked studio shots and cruising sequences, keeping the performance-driven energy front and center. It’s simple but effective—an invitation to watch the band revel in the song’s pulse while giving fans something to move along to.
With more than six million streams, five Top 100 college radio hits, and credits alongside heavyweights like Mark Needham, James Sanger, and Chris Gehringer, Repko has already carved out an enviable resume. But “Don’t Delay” feels like a new chapter—one where his restless creativity fully embraces pop sensibilities without losing the edge that’s carried him this far.
Rhett Repko flips the script with ‘Don’t Delay,’ delivering a disco-laced alt-pop gem that’s impossible not to move to.
