Latest song heard in the raw state? (6)

I believe the answer is:

nudity

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'state?' is the definition.
(nudity is a kind of state)

I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for nudity that I've seen before include "element of naturism" , "Bareness" , "Unclothed state" , "State of being without clothes" , "Going without garments" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
