Indie rock and classical music education usually seem far apart. But one person brings them together: Rebecca McDonnell. She takes on the entire process of creating her singles herself. It is a demanding task, which is why new recordings appeared on Spotify fairly rarely. But in 2026, the instrumentalist and singer returned with a string of releases. The newest of them is Won’t Regret It A Bit.

The main message of Won’t Regret It A Bit is believing in yourself, embracing your individuality and refusing to follow other people’s opinions. The sound takes us into the ’80s, a time some might call genuinely free. The single is packed with electric guitar, carrying the spirit of freedom and biker fun. In the second half, Rebecca McDonnell adds simple dance beats, taking us to a pub in a small provincial American town.

Another key element is the vocal, which greets the listener and sees them out. Her voice arrives within the first few seconds. It is a fairly powerful vocal with a defiant edge, there to strengthen the mood the song needs. The ending brings a major-key vocalise and laughter, carrying a sense of joy and the freedom to be yourself. Here, the vocalist comes across as a storyteller from that very pub, telling us the story of the protagonist, from rebellion to finding harmony with oneself.
