Federico Nessi, the Paris-based creative behind Be My Wife, invites listeners into a world of surrealism and shadow with his latest single, Complicate Me. Raised in Miami and Buenos Aires, Nessi combines his diverse influences with goth sensibilities and a performative stream of consciousness, creating music that feels as much an art installation as a song.
Complicate Me is the second single from Be My Wife’s forthcoming album, set to release in Summer 2025. Described as “songs for fog machines and strobe lights,” this track epitomizes Nessi’s ethos: immersive, subliminal, and boldly experimental. Built on themes of wet dreams and inverted sexual roles, the song flips traditional narratives, empowering the receiver in a provocative, lyrical ode inspired by Nine Inch Nails. The chorus reimagines the lyrics of one of their iconic tracks, casting new light on their dark energy while honoring their legacy.
The single’s accompanying video, crafted in collaboration with AI artist Alexandre Leonard-Dalissier, extends the song’s surreal and absurd darkness into the visual realm. With its vivid, dreamlike imagery and unsettling edge, the video complements the immersive depth of Complicate Me, enhancing its status as a sensory experience rather than just a track.
Pop songs made for closed eyes and open minds, Be My Wife’s music exists at the intersection of introspection and performance. With Complicate Me, Federico Nessi solidifies his place as an avant-garde force in contemporary music, promising a full album that will challenge and enthrall in equal measure.
