Shimmy: Dance with the charming bear in neon light
With "Shimmy", Turbo Knight & Edictum have created an energetic synth pop track that delves deep into the sonic world of the 80s. The very beginning of the song with bells and handclaps immediately transports you to the neon-soaked era of synthesisers. But "Shimmy" manages to remain independent despite the familiar sounds.
The eccentric and humorous lyrics, sung by Rota, tell the story of a dancing bear who immerses himself in the glittering nightlife of the disco era. Lines like "Celebrate this moment of confidence. We were not made to bore" give the track a self-confident yet charming flavour. The lyrical mix of whimsical imagery and danceable rhythms makes "Shimmy" special and entertaining.
Musically, the song moves skilfully between synth pop and new wave, creating an exciting dynamic. The production is flawless and captures the essence of the genre perfectly. Turbo Knight & Edictum demonstrate a keen sense for melodies and arrangements that are immediately catchy.
One small point of criticism could be that the sonic proximity to classic 80s tracks sometimes seems a little too familiar. Nevertheless, "Shimmy" is a successful track that impresses with its catchy melody and original storyline. This song is part of our Spotify playlist ‘New Synth Pop Songs 2024‘.

Lyrics of "Turbo Knight & Edictum – Shimmy (Feat. Rota)"
This week is mine, throw my Ursidae life in the air
What will I catch?
Little things annoy me, putting it to the test
highly demolished, don't have no time for rubbish,
gain my winter blubber, enjoy all the udder.
I break everything open – get out.
Time stands still. I have a glass to fill. I have a drink to spill.
Celebrate this moment of confidence. We were not made to bore
Tomorrow my skull will buzz for sure
my freedom lasts forever
shimmy this night together
In the cave it is damp, the walls bare, the floor is cold
put a smile on the horizon, see you round my zoo.
come my darling, now let's dance, make this cave shine brightly
we spiral forward until we are dangling from the ceiling
with fur shreds on the floor
Time stands still. I have a glass to fill. I have a drink to spill.
Celebrate this moment of confidence. We were not made to bore,
Tomorrow my skull will buzz for sure
my freedom lasts forever
shimmy this night together
tried to convince you,
to keep you from getting close to me,
react eject a mistake has been made
but one that could be fun
not symbiotic, we are dimorphic.
Time stands still. I have a glass to fill. I have a drink to spill.
Celebrate this moment of confidence. We were not made to bore
Tomorrow my skull will buzz for sure
my freedom lasts forever
shimmy this night together
You don't have to be afraid of animals,
especially not of puffy bears prancing around
especially not of puffy bears prancing around
especially not of puffy bears prancing around
