Some songs have the power to pull you instantly into their universe—ANLIL’s “Complicated” is one of them.
Born in the Middle East, raised in Canada, and now based in Los Angeles, the alt-pop artist is unveiling her upcoming debut album Celestial, one song at a time.
Her latest release, “Complicated,” is a darkwave electro-pop banger that fuses toxic love–laced lyrics with electronic textures both dark and raw. Inspired by the cinematic tension of Euphoria, “Complicated” sits at only two minutes and 25 seconds but manages to build an entire world.
From the breathy repetitions of ANLIL singing “It’s complicated” as her vocals drift over a floaty, shadowy atmosphere, ANLIL immediately drops you into her headspace.
By the 30-second mark, the track begins to swell—“You think you know better” pans across the mix, half-screamed, as fluttering sonic textures swirl around it, mirroring the mental spin and overthinking that come with tangled states of love and desire.
It’s an impressive track that not only adds to ANLIL’s growing discography but also showcases her ability to craft immersive soundscapes with striking emotional depth.
As ANLIL continues unveiling Celestial track by track, “Complicated” serves as a glimpse into the bold and vulnerable artistry that’s shaping her debut.
