L'âme sœurrly Larivière
by Nu-Look · 2015 · kompa, kompa-gouyad · 5:49 · Haitian Creole, French
The source gives the correct title as “L'âme sœur” and includes Arly Larivière in the credit, although the catalog title runs his name into the song. This 2015 track lasts nearly six minutes and enters Nu-Look’s romantic kompa directly. Its French title names the person seemingly made to share a life, while Arly’s voice and keyboards give the idea patience and gravity. Gouyad keeps the relationship in the body, but the arrangement never rushes. It is a typical Nu-Look balance of intimacy, diaspora language, and cadence made for two people dancing close.
