Da Cruz – Tudo bem mais complicado
Da Cruz drops “Tudo bem mais complicado”, a melancholic baile funk track that serves as the fourth single from her upcoming album “Som Sistema”, due January 23, 2026 via Boom Jah Records/Believe.
Afro-Brazilian singer Mariana Da Cruz built this album by tracing her African and Brazilian roots through contemporary sounds rather than traditional forms. She pulls from South African gqom, Brazilian baile funk, Caribbean shatta, Angolan kuduro, and Brazilian trap, creating something current and distinctly her own.
“Tudo bem mais complicado” reflects on youth, broken dreams, and reality’s harsh edges. It’s about a generation whose hopes didn’t survive the crash into adulthood. The video matches this theme with Da Cruz and an AI-generated version of herself set in a digitally created abandoned amusement park.
The production leans into baile funk’s signature rhythms while carrying weight that genre tracks don’t always attempt. Da Cruz isn’t chasing nostalgia or rehashing old styles. She’s working with the latest developments in modern Black music, building contemporary Brazilian music with clear messages and song structure.
