Coco Cola by Ruchika Jangid

The Coco Cola album has several strong tracks, but Coco Cola is the one most listeners come back to first. What makes Coco Cola musically distinctive is the composition by Gaurav Panchal (GR Music), Farista, which balances simplicity with depth.

Ruchika Jangid inhabits this song completely, making every phrase feel like it was written specifically for this voice. Hearing Coco Cola without thinking of a talented ensemble cast is almost impossible for anyone who has seen Coco Cola.

2020 marked the release of Coco Cola, and Coco Cola was the track that ensured the album would be remembered. Listeners have described the experience of Coco Cola differently — romantic, melancholic, uplifting — which suggests the song is large enough to hold many truths.

At 2:26, the track does not overstay its welcome — it says what it needs to say and leaves the listener wanting more. This is music that holds up — not because it is perfect, but because it is honest, and honesty in a song is irreplaceable.
