"Nude" is the fourth studio album by the British synth-pop band Dead or Alive, released in 1988. Dead or Alive, led by the flamboyant frontman Pete Burns, gained popularity in the 1980s with their energetic and danceable synth-pop sound.
The "Nude" album continued Dead or Alive's exploration of high-energy dance-pop and Hi-NRG (high energy) styles that characterized their earlier work. The album features a mix of catchy hooks, electronic beats, and Pete Burns' distinctive vocals. Notable tracks on "Nude" include the singles "Turn Around and Count 2 Ten" and "Come Home with Me Baby."
While "Nude" did not achieve the same commercial success as some of Dead or Alive's previous releases, it has been recognized for its infectious and danceable tracks. Pete Burns' androgynous image and the band's unabashed embrace of glamour and theatrics were also notable aspects of their identity during this period.
Despite facing challenges in the mainstream music industry, Dead or Alive maintained a dedicated fan base, and "Nude" remains a part of the band's discography, reflecting their contribution to the vibrant pop and dance scene of the 1980s.
