The darkly entrancing “Decomplicated” is a stylish pop success from Malou Madi, the project of Marie Davy. Pulsing synths and sporadic percussion complement creeping vocals to start, building to the catching title-referencing hook. Prickly keyboard sputters prior to the three-minute mark add nicely to the soundscape and backing wordless vocal touch, evolving into the swooning, captivating outro. “Decomplicated” succeeds with its darkly entrancing pop aesthetic and consuming vocal work.
