With their latest single ‘Naked’, Shape Of Water once again demonstrate why they’re one of the most exciting genre-bending bands in the UK’s alternative scene. Hailing from Manchester, the trio blends electronic art rock with cinematic textures to craft a sultry, immersive experience that lingers long after the final note.
‘Naked’ is an evocative exploration of intimacy, vulnerability, and raw emotion. The track opens with an eerie melodic tension, slowly building toward a chorus that feels both expansive and confessional. Lead vocalist Rossano Capriotti delivers a stunning performance his voice teetering between seductive and tormented, underscored by Luca De Falco’s lush guitar work and Tom Moks’ tight, dynamic drumming.
What makes ‘Naked’ so compelling is its balance: haunting synths and pulsating beats swirl around lyrics that are bold and poetic, evoking a late-night reverie of passion and release. It’s sensual without being overindulgent, intense without losing control.
This single not only sets the tone for Shape Of Water’s upcoming third album, but it also solidifies their place as a band unafraid to expose their artistic truth, even when it’s raw and unfiltered.
