"Naked In The Rain" is a hit song performed by dance music
group Blue Pearl
and released as their debut single in 1990.
It is different from most dance songs, as it features a heavier, rawer sound, mostly due to live drumming (not a drum machine) and the hard-hitting synthesizer
riffs not too dissimilar to the sound of 808 State
and Graham Massey
from 808 State was the track's co-producer/remixer.
The song was first a hit in the UK, reaching #4 on the UK Singles Chart
in July 1990 and later becoming a hit dance song in the U.S., hitting the top five on the Hot Dance Club Play
chart.
A music video accompanied the song on its release, featuring the group performing in an almost industrial-like atmosphere and visualizes the overall atmosphere of the song.
