Baustelle – Undress me The new single arrives today at 6pm and presents itself as a manifesto of change and maturity. Two years after the last album, the band led by Francesco Bianconi, Rachele Bastreghi and Claudio Brasini proves that he is still capable of surprising, with a song that combines a sunny and electric sound with deep and provocative lyrics.
An invitation to take off your masks
The voice of Bianconi, surprisingly rejuvenated, it guides a serene but at the same time explosive mood, almost as if it were the sign of a new stage in the band's career. Undress me invites us to abandon the masks and superstructures that hide us, accepting our nature made of contradictions and complexities. It is a song that speaks of liberation, of breaking with the past and of rebirth, concepts that Bianconi describes it like this:
It is a song that talks about the desire to be other than what you are or have become. […] I too feel this sense of disgust, of desire for dispossession, at this moment, renewed and reinvigorated by the critical historical moment we are going through.
A sound that looks back to 60s California
Written by Francesco Bianconi, Diego Palazzo and Federico Nardelli, and produced by the latter together with Bianconi, Undress me It is inspired by California in the 1960s. The song is sunny, electric and tense, evoking images of purification and rebellion. It is an invitation to break the chains that bind us to the toxins of contemporary society, from social filters to daily cynicism.

Baustelle – Undress me Text
It's no longer time to shoot at the sky
And mask the emptiness you have
With algorithms and poses
The roses bloom happily
And all this love
What do we sing it for?
Strip me of all certainties and anesthetics
I don't feel anything now
So undress me
Of tricks, of cynicism, of cosmetics
The picture is depressing
There's no point in ranting anymore
To use aftershave and irony
Of confusing ethics and hormones
However
Nuclear is better
About poorly written autofiction
Strip me of all certainties and raincoats
The picture is worrying
So undress me
Of filters, of cynicism, of cosmetics
I don't give a damn
And in California
Of falling in love
Happy greets Donald Trump
Love, undress me
Of all our toxic feelings
They are no longer of any use
Undress me
Of the desire to stay young
And assholes among the people
Smart boy
Now listen to me
My new song is perhaps the last one
And it's not funny.
