Nedelle Torrisi’s sublime intonation lays bare what we all know to be true in “Complicated,” a heartstricken ballad about cyber-induced isolation and “how we give more love to our phones than each other.” This soulful number is the third single from her new album, “Only For You,” out May 18 on Frenchkiss Records. Co-produced by herself and Babes’ Billy Uomo, these 11 new songs navigate the pages of love in the digital age with moonstruck synthesized R&B. It’s so pretty and sorrowful when she opens up her voice on the line “My heart is heavy …” and while the notion is funny — to endure such torment around a machine that fits in the palm of your hand — everyone can relate. Everyone.
