We’re still about two months out from Eurovision, the European song contest, and already the clear favorite amongst coffee folks has emerged: Estonia’s Tommy Cash with his silly, infectious Espresso Macchiato. (That some Italians weren’t super stoked about.) The song came out last month, but Cash is keeping it top of mind with an all new—and pretty insane actually—official music video.
Now, you may be saying to yourself, “doesn’t Espresso Macchiato already have a music video?” To which I would answer your question with another question: but what if there was a video with two Tommy Cashes AND a dancing to-go cup? And let’s be honest, the original video lacked the wango pizzazz of the source material. It’s just Cash sitting there dead-eyed drinking a coffee.
This latest video feels a little more apropos. It’s got not one but two Cash-like figures, one dark-haired and in the same suit from the previous video and the other a blond in a brown suit, both of whom are wearing a, let’s say, presidentially long red neck tie. The two share a coffee—from straws, which is weird—which combines them into a single entity. A Cash chimera. And that’s just the halfway point of the song. The rest involves and condiments, security guards, some other fella whom I don’t know but maybe I would if I was cooler, all of whom are dancing of course. Oh and there are coffee bean balloons. This is the energy Cash needs heading into Eurovision.
Currently Espresso Macchiato has been played over 15 million times across YouTube and Spotify. It’s become a global sensation and certainly positions Cash as one of the favorites to win the singing contest. But until then, please binge the new video for Tommy Cash’s Espresso Macchiato, and if you have any idea what the hell is going on, please let us know.
