Patoranking is an artist who seamlessly blends sounds across the African diaspora. Hailing from Lagos, Nigeria, Patoranking infused his sound with dancehall and afrobeats reminiscent of the early 2010s. He returns with the single “Shake That” featuring Ruger, a tune ready to get people to dance throughout the summer.
The dancehall fusion track starts off reeling the listener in with jazzy undertones. It creates an uplifting overtone that makes the listener feel more radiant. The song is accompanied by a music video that showcases a vibrant, high-energy party. The colorful outfits of the dancers match the optimistic and upbeat sentiment emitted by the track.
The track has very affirming lyrics, such as “When you’re around, girl, you brighten up my day,” that can’t help but make you feel very sanguine. The narrator is letting them know that they’re a subject for their adoration and is very direct with where they want things to go next. It makes you want to get on the dance floor with your crush and let them know you confess your affection. The direct lyrics make it a way to ease tension for things to go further. This is a great track to bring in good energy for the summer time!
