Italian rock band The R’s has released its first single from its U.S. debut record, De Flora Et Fauna. The song, “Mr. Hide,” is a likable bombastic ode to baring all to the one you love.
“I wrote that song to ask the girl I was with to accept my dark side,” says bassist and singer Pietro Paletti. “That’s the Mr. Hyde I’m trying to hide from people. I wrote that song because I felt like I was kind of divided in two, and you get to a point where you have to let people accept your dark side.”
The band strove to keep the imagery in the video spare, so as to focus attention on the music. “We were playing with mirrors in the video, so we tried to announce the duality of the reflection — yourself and the other self reflected into the mirror,” Paletti says.
So did the girl manage to see all that was reflected in Paletti’s soul and accept the darkness present within? “Well, she left me,” he says, laughing. “But not because of the song.”
