C'est compliqué

Nu-Look lets “C’est compliqué” unfold for more than eight minutes, giving the relationship suggested by its title a broad kompa setting. This 2016 recording moves between kompa and gouyad, with Haitian Creole and French vocals resting on a cadence made for bodies to follow. The Arly Larivière Nu-Look channel published the version. Its length matters: instead of reducing complication to a quick refrain, the band has time to stay with the idea and let the rhythm carry its tension.
