MILAN, JUNE 2020.
TECHNICOLOR IS THE LATEST SONG BY TROPEA, A DANCE-POP TUNE WITH POST-PUNK VIBES, ABOUT DREAMING BIG AND BURNING OUT FAST.
TROPEA SELF PRODUCED THE TRACK IN THEIR BEDROOMS DURING THE COVID19 LOCKDOWN, WHILE THE FOUR MEMBERS LIVED AT A DISTANCE AND SHARED IDEAS TO EACH OTHER OVER THE INTERNET. TECHNICOLOR HAS BEEN COMPOSED ALONG WITH OTHER SONGS, THAT ARE GOING TO BE RELEASED IN AN EP CALLED “MIGHT DELETE LATER”, OUT ON JUNE 11TH.
THE FAMOUS SEATTLE RADIO KEXP, THAT IS A POINT OF REFERENCE FOR THE GLOBAL ALTERNATIVE MUSIC SCENE, HOSTED A WORLDWIDE PREVIEW OF Technicolor on june 3th, as ”song of the day”.
TECHNICOLOR IS LOUD AND FUN TO PLAY AND WHEN TROPEA PERFORM IT DURING LIVE SHOWS PEOPLE GO INSANE, DANCING 80S OR 2010S STYLE OR WHATEVER THEY LIKE.
BY RECORDING THE TRACK, THE BAND WANTED TO CAPTURE THE SAME ENERGY AS THE LIVE VERSION, BUT ALSO TO GIVE IT A NEW MEANING, SINCE WE ARE FACING TOUGH TIMES. TECHNICOLOR IT’S A SONG TO DREAM, DANCE OR JUST EXERCISE, TO FIND ONESELF BUT ALSO TO BURN OF LOVE AND TAKE CARE OF EACH OTHERS, DESPITE THE DIFFICULTIES OF THIS ABSURD WORLD. IT’S A TRIBUTE TO THOSE WHO HELP OTHERS SEE THE MAGIC, despite THE ILLUSIONS AND THE LIES WE TELL OURSELVES.
As it's often the case with Tropea's songs, the lyrics to “Might Delete Later”ep contain a vein of melancholy, intertwined to a sound that might just be the perfect soundtrack to a happy hangover. The music is played with intense energy, but the voices are sweet and tender with an ASMR vibe.
“IN TECHNICOLOR IS CONCENTRATED AND “SYNTHETIZED” OUR PASSION FOR LIVE MUSIC. IN FACT, IN OUR GIGS THIS SONG IS THE ONE THAT LINK US MOST TO THE AUDIENCE: WE ARE A SINGLE FLOW, WE SWAY THE HIPS ALL TOGETHER WITH “THE SPECIAL MOVE” WE INVENTED. IT’S IN THE NATURE OF TECHNICOLOR TO BE A SONG OF SHARING AND FOR THIS REASON IT WAS SPONTANEOUS TO PUBLISH IT RIGHT NOW. IT'S OUR FIRST HYBRID PIECE, WRITTEN IN A LANGUAGE WE CREATE, MADE OF ITALIAN, ENGLISH AND CRINGE-LIFE CONDIMENTS”
