Naked comes with an impressive cover that lets you understand the feeling of this new work right away.

This is how vocalist Masha explains the idea behind this special title: “I decided to call this CD Naked because this time our fans will listen to something that will bring them to the real essence of my voice and our music and I want to show that I’m free from any prejudice or cliche - I do what I like to do no matter what, but I was happily surprised to discover that I could be even more aggressive with my voice when I sing with an acoustic guitar. I just wanna let my people feel my passion for what I do, that’s all, I decided to get musically Naked, that means still with my clothes on but no special effects, no lies, just fire and passion straight in your face!

“Many of our fans were asking to get recordings of our unplugged shows, and we liked e the idea to prepare a special gift for all of them that supported us along the way, reinventing the concept of unplugged and making this absolutely aggressive, heavy and full of energy, otherwise I wouldn’t have done it!”

This limited edition CD includes unplugged versions of their top hits like 'Stop Playing God', 'Coincidence', 'Starseed', etc. but it's not only acoustic, in fact you will find the brand new fully produced song 'No Tears For You', plus some unedited bonus video material!

'No Tears For You', the next Exilia single included in Naked is produced and mixed at White Studios in Berlin by Clemens Matznick and the the video was shot in San Marcos, Texas.
