Coma_Cose inaugurate the summer singles season

The season has officially begun singles that wink at summer and are candidates to be potential hits. Of course, not everyone is the same: there are those who package pieces of plastic to throw into the ocean of ratings and those who work hard, with more precious and refined materials. Coma_Cose fall into the second category with an unexpected song in terms of sound, but with a content that is anything but banal, which moves the camera and gets to tell other people's stories. Spoilers for the new piece: the first listen, for a long-time fan of the group, can be unsettling. And perhaps, also for this reason, it will be interesting to understand whether people will like it or not, how it will be received and which audience it will win over.

One year after their last publication, Coma_Cose, in fact, are back with “Malavita”a single with which, again under the umbrella of Asian Fake, they begin a new recording journey with a major label. Produced by Merk & Kremont, the piece has a new sound for the bandwhich however over the years has increasingly broadened its pop boundaries: “Malavita” is a mix that blends mandolins and echoes of flamenco with the urban. The piece is not in the first person, but the prose story of a slice of life. The protagonist of the song she is a woman with a stormy past who decides to change her life by leaving an oppressive context who holds her prisoner. In the text of “Malavita” real images, but with a cinematic flavour, are combined with a language that draws from songwriting.

“It is a song that talks about redemption and tells the story of a woman who managed to escape from something that held her prisoner, it tastes of the Mediterranean and how the sea is both sun and storm – they explained Fausto and California on social media – it was a nice winter, we took our time to fix up the house, which is always a metaphor for something else, we made a lot of music but the words never flew, we simply understood that we had nothing new, 'ours', that we hadn't already said. You need to live to describe it in music… and then an epiphany, a bit like certain distant singer-songwriters did, came over us the desire to also tell the stories of others which are always a means to talk a little about oneself. You know us and you know how boring we are to repeat ourselves, so a new journey begins which we hope will allow us to find ourselves together with you this summer to sing at the top of our lungs: underworld, underworld, underworld…”.
