Shape Of Water – “Naked”

Shape of Water dropped their single “Naked” last year and it’s an absolute gem. The Manchester-based electronic art rock duo, known for blending moody rock with synthy atmospheres, has outdone themselves here. If you’re into music that grabs you by the feels and doesn’t let go, this is your jam.

“Naked” is all sultry beats and haunting melodies, like a midnight drive through a neon-lit city. Rox Capriotti’s vocals drip with raw emotion, weaving lyrics about intimacy and vulnerability that hit hard. The pulsating rhythm section and Luca De Falco’s brooding guitar work create this hypnotic tension, it’s intense, passionate, and kinda makes you want to replay it immediately. I’m obsessed with how the chorus swells into this massive, cathartic moment. It’s the kind of song that demands headphones and a dark room.

For fans of Muse’s drama or Depeche Mode’s dark grooves, “Naked” feels like a natural fit. After killer releases like “Amor Fati” and “Great Illusions“, “Naked” proves they’re not slowing down. Follow Shape of Water on socials, and you’ll wanna stay tuned for their 2025 album. Trust me, these guys are the real deal.
