The melancholy bite of a summer that ends, having to leave behind what was experienced fleetingly, in the hot and lively August nights; the sea breeze that becomes more subtle and pungent, the sun warms; another summer has passed, leaving a bittersweet smile on our face from the memory of what we experienced: "Something (you don't need) NAKED" seems to be a perfect transposition into music of all these sensations.

To greet the summer, SOLO decides to release an acoustic version of his song "Something (you don't need)", much more in keeping with the melancholy of early September.

«I always thought that "Something (you don't need)" also worked great as an acoustic pop track. If the original version of the song, made up of electronics and continuous drum, was more directed towards some club sounds, which made it somehow danceable, summery, this new acoustic guise restores the melancholy of the intertwining lines to the song. vowels: a “naked” version, to greet the summer».

The NAKED version of "Something (you don't need)", stripping away from the electronics and the continuous bass drum, focuses attention on acoustic guitars and, in particular, on the voices of SOLO and Nobody, which play between dialogues and harmonizations.

«The song, from the very beginning, was conceived to be sung with two voices, one male and one female. What I was looking for was a subtle voice, sometimes childish, but at the same time adult, sensual: Nobody interpreted the piece perfectly, as I had already imagined it from the moment I performed it alone».

"Something (you don't need)" stands as a harsh criticism of the society of appearing, which pushes us to always have to be aesthetically "perfect", according to pre-established canons, which involves a gradual loss of individuality, of one's personality and uniqueness, in favor of an "aesthetic conformity" that makes us a copy of the other, a concept also taken up in the cover art of the single.

«In the cover art, the mannequin head symbolizes the loss of personality derived from a conformist act, while the parts of the face, hair, eyes, mouth, glued on the impersonal and empty face, represent the unsuccessful attempt to find one's own personality using parts of the body of others, by external influence and not by one's own choice, in an attempt to emulate characters erected as a model by society, a society that makes us perceive them as unattainable, just to remind us where our place is; on the background, or on the bottom».

Recorded entirely by SOLO at The Bordello Rock 'n' Roll Studio and mixed and mastered by Edoardo Di Vietri at the Hexagonlab Recording Studio, "Something (you don't need)" is the second single, after "Don't shoot the piano player (it's all in your head)", from the album "The importance of words (songs of love, anti-capitalism and mental illness)", forthcoming.

«As an omnivorous listener, I have always appreciated albums where multiple genres coexist with each other; I think of the Beatles' "White album", for example. "The importance of words (songs of love, anti-capitalism and mental illness)" will be a very varied album, with songs ranging from psychedelia to art rock through punk, dream pop, shoegaze, grunge, dance».
