Featuring a remarkable list of collaborators, but more so homies, Nick brings these talents together to deliver his strongest body of work to date, one that oozes intimacy with every note. David Marston's magic on guitar contributes to an undeniable weight to the sound of the album, and good friend Roland Harper once again lends his sultry vocals to Nick on the imaginative "Roily Polly." Rounding out the talented roster of collaborators is Richard Kennedy of Hercules & Love Affair acclaim on the RnB ballad "For Some Reason." Nick Monaco is not afraid to fail or make mistakes, and this fearlessness allows him to get the most out of his instrumentation, and he certainly accomplishes something musically unique on Half Naked. It all feels very natural, and you can hear the greater confidence Nick Monaco has attained through touring and his relentless drive to produce in the studio. So, sit back, open your ears, maybe take your clothes off and listen as Nick Monaco starts to almost bare it all.
