The Naked And Famous - Recover (2020)

The Naked and Famous launched their album Recover, by releasing their new track Come As You Are - an ode to the importance of inclusivity. Lyrically, it has grown to represent the importance of having unconditional love and acceptance for people from all walks of life - so easy to love, so come as you are, theres no limit to the ways that I adore, just as you are. One half of the duo, Alisa Xayalith , said it started out as a song about how everyone comes into a new relationship with history and baggage, and how you shouldnt let that stop you from making a connection, but ultimately, its about accepting people for who they really are and recognizing that everyone deserves love. Bandmate Thom Powers adds, We want our fans to know how important inclusivity is to us, Whether youre in the LGBTQ community or an immigrant or in any other marginalized group, this is a safe space for you..

The song joins previous album cuts Sunseeker which was inspired by a Xayaliths dog and Bury Us which NYLON described as a perfect dancefloor track that'll instantly transport you to infectious pop bliss, all the while telling the story of embracing unexpected love.

Recover is largely an autobiographical record rooted in a powerful sentiment of survival, and of the very human process of self-preservation - of saving, choosing and celebrating oneself in a world constantly trying to put us down. Each song is carefully crafted with an important messages ranging from the sentiment of survival (Death), touching on topics of self-identity (Well-Rehearsed), resilience (Recover), mortality ((An)Aesthetic) written by Thom about his near-death experience with blood poisoning) and the things that affect our lives in ways we never anticipated (Sunseeker).
