Gang Of Four Reclaims the Word “COMPLICIT”

0

Gang Of Four released new EP Complicit ahead of a new studio album due out summer 2018. Complicit follows a period during which the band have been sampled by everyone from St. Vincent to Frank Ocean and Pharrell Williams. The EP includes previous singles “Lucky” and “Ivanka (Thing You Can’t Have)”, with artwork that captures the President’s daughter alongside the Russian word for ‘Complicit’ – which can be viewed below.

Talking about the track – which weaves into its lyrics quotes from Ivanka and her father – Gill says;It would’ve been easy to be extremely damning about Donald Trump and of course, like everyone else, I could have called him all kinds of names. What drew me to this subject at all was the running commentary from Ivanka in the earlier stages of this administration – it was fascinating to get a kind of explanation or justification from the daughter who had already been given an official position within the White House.
