Thomas Paradise – Shake coke: the meaning of the song
Shake coke tells of one of those relationships that arise suddenly and seem to occupy every thought in the space of a few hours. In the press release accompanying the release, the song is described as the story of a “excited and unpredictable summer love”, destined however to consume quickly.
Very concrete details emerge in the text: the Champions League nights, the sponsorships on social media, the photographs kept on the phone and that feeling of adrenaline that accompanies the most intense mistakes and infatuations. Elements that place the song in a contemporary imagination without giving up the melancholic component that characterizes much of the writing of Thomas Paradise.
Simonetta's production accompanies the story with an immediate pop imprint, built to support a narrative made up of quick images and fragments of everyday life.
