Naked to the World is the eighth album by Teena Marie, released in 1988. It is a return to her soul/funk roots following the experimentation of her previous album Emerald City, which had been a critical and commercial disappointment. The tracks "Call Me (I Got Yo Number)" and "The Once and Future Dream" are duets with Rick James.
Naked to the World peaked at #15 on the Black Albums chart and #65 on the Billboard Albums chart. The lead single, "Ooo La La La", topped the US Black Singles chart, Marie's only single to achieve this.
This album has been reissued in May 2012 by SoulMusic Records, with 4 bonus tracks.
All songs written by Teena Marie, except where noted.
