Francisco turns heartbreak chaos into catharsis on “Passing Fix”
Spanish singer-songwriter Francisco, now based in the UK, returns with his latest release “Passing Fix”, a raw, fast-moving standout from his new album Open Letters.
If heartbreak had a soundtrack while it’s still actively happening (and not yet processed), this would be it.
Blending alternative rock, folk, and indie-experimental production, Open Letters explores emotional dependency, longing, and the messy space between connection and collapse. But “Passing Fix” is where things get especially unfiltered; a spiralling mix of humour, bitterness, vulnerability, and brutal self-awareness.
It’s the sound of overthinking in real time.
The song started with a single, very honest chorus line:
“If I’m still single by 28 I’ll drown myself in liquor, be a spinster…”
From there, Francisco built a track that feels like emotional overload in motion: part diary entry, part breakdown, part ironic commentary on his own thoughts.
Wanting it to feel like the emotional aftermath of his earlier track “21/7”, Francisco leans fully into obsession, self-sabotage, and the way we sometimes blame ourselves just to make sense of hurt.
“Passing Fix” doesn’t just describe heartbreak; it lives inside it, spirals through it, and somehow turns it into something strangely cathartic.

Graceful Reflection Defines Harry Hudson Taylor’s Latest Release ‘What Do You Take Me For?’
With What Do You Take Me For, Harry Hudson Taylor demonstrates that meaningful songwriting often flourishes within simplicity. The single unfolds with quiet assurance, offering an intimate meditation on relationships and self awareness that feels both deeply personal and universally accessible.
The production reflects Harry’s increasingly assured artistic identity. Recorded independently and shaped with remarkable sensitivity, the arrangement never competes with the song’s emotional core. Instead, it provides an elegant framework where each lyric and melodic phrase is given room to resonate.
A notable feature is the presence of Seraphina Taylor, whose harmonies lend the recording an understated richness. Her contribution enhances the song’s emotional texture, creating moments of remarkable warmth while reinforcing the collaborative spirit behind Harry’s evolving solo work.
What distinguishes the single is its refusal to rely on spectacle. Harry’s measured vocal performance, combined with carefully crafted instrumentation, creates an atmosphere that feels contemplative rather than theatrical. It is a reminder that sincerity remains one of music’s most enduring qualities.
As anticipation builds for Hiding From Nature, What Do You Take Me For stands as a sophisticated and beautifully realised release. It further establishes Harry Hudson Taylor as an artist committed to craftsmanship, authenticity and songs that reveal more with every listen.
Speaking about his creative process, Harry says: “This song is about how manipulated modern life can feel, the algorithms, the tribalism, the sense that everyone’s being sorted into a side. I wrote it while trying every coping mechanism I had, addictions, fasting, meditating, medicating, just to stay standing in the middle of it. ‘What Do You Take Me For’ is the question I kept asking the system, and myself. “
