A qui la faute
by Nu-Look · 2014 · kompa, kompa-gouyad · 6:44 · Haitian Creole, French
“À qui la faute” asks the question Nu-Look repeatedly explores: when a relationship breaks, who carries responsibility? The 2014 track takes more than six and a half minutes, between kompa and gouyad, for Arly Larivière to place accusation, doubt, and pride along one melodic line. The Topic version brings the French title forward while Haitian Creole and French vocals remain inside the band’s intimate sound. Bass moves bodies gently, but the question does not disappear into the dance; it waits for listeners again after the party ends.
