Famous Nigerian R&B singer, Darey Art Alade who dropped his fifth studio album ‘unclad’ on October 13, 2015 has opened up on why he posed unclad in a promo picture of the album.

In an exclusive new interview, Darey explained why he posed unclad, and the concept behind it.

You see the picture is a visual representation of the real story behind the ‘unclad’ album. The idea is to be vulnerable and to be vulnerable I also needed to do something that I have never done before. Something I could probably swear I would never do but also it’s not because I am trying to make some kind of social media frenzy statement or whatever” Darey said.
Darey also said the picture was not done in a distasteful manner and it was about him making an artistic statement.

It’s really about representing what I am trying to say. If I said ‘unclad’ what comes to your mind? Maybe, somebody without clothes on? But again the photograph is done tastefully so it is artistic, not showing private parts. I am not trying to take your mind to where unclad sounds like” said Darey.

It’s art and there is a clear difference between trying to be obscene and vulgar and trying to be artistic. This is me trying to be artistic” he further said.
