Sometimes, with all due respect, we don’t need to know everything about an artist. We just need that song — to get us through the night, to get us to a better place, to get us through the haze and static and into some clarity, however it need be defined. That’s not to say a backstory and context isn’t important; it’s just to say that sometimes art transcends, and finds its lane of necessity on its own drive and merit.
That’s the case here with “Naked,” a seductive nocturnal beat of inspired discovery and passion from Los Angeles duo They Kiss. It feels like the soundtrack en route to a better place, a composition heard by the mind as much as the ears, one entrenched within us as we seek out something more; the type of song that plays on repeat without notice, care, or interruption, the body’s battery charged by moonlight as we roll from dusk to dawn.
“’Naked’ follows two lovers on a sonic journey in an endless search for the perfect electronic vibe; dancing, kissing, loving,” the duo states. “Just living life on the dance floor and in their hearts.”
But, the details because every journey needs a destination: They Kiss is Anna Makovchik and Francesco Civetta (a.k.a. Cash), and “Naked” will be featured on the pair’s upcoming album Feeling With You, out August 26 via Civetta’s CASH NYC Records.
Take it with you, as you need to.
