Espresso Macchiato (Eurovision Estonia) - Tommy Cash - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Released in December 2024, "Espresso Macchiato" is a dance-pop single by Estonian rapper and conceptual artist Tommy Cash. Co-written with Finnish producer Johannes Naukkarinen—known for his work on Finland's 2023 Eurovision entry "Cha Cha Cha"—the track blends electro-swing elements with a macaronic mix of English and Italian lyrics, delivering a satirical take on Italian cultural stereotypes. The song's lyrics humorously reference Italian clichés, including coffee culture, luxury lifestyles, and mafia tropes. Phrases like "sweating like a mafioso" and "life is like spaghetti" sparked controversy in Italy, leading to formal complaints, including non-profit consumer organization Codacons, who argued the song perpetuated offensive stereotypes. Despite the backlash from "Espresso Macchiato," Tommy Cash emphasized his admiration for Italian culture and clarified that no offense was intended.
