Harry Hudson Taylor Shines His Quiet Power In “Dear You, It’s Me”
Irish singer-songwriter Harry Hudson Taylor has released a rare and deeply personal spoken-word piece titled “Dear You, It’s Me”, marking a thoughtful departure from his usual melodic songwriting. The former Hudson Taylor frontman delivers a letter to the self — part confessional, part meditation — layered over ambient textures and understated beats. The result is quietly cinematic, offering a gentle space for reflection in a fast-moving world.
The track, self-produced and mixed entirely by Harry, began as a private journal entry during a shift at a Berlin café. That spontaneity remains intact in the final piece, which feels like something overheard in a moment of need. With poetic honesty and emotional clarity, Harry leans into vulnerability — not with drama, but with grace and compassion.
Accompanying the track is a short film that follows Harry through Berlin’s streets, culminating in a silent embrace with an older man. The wordless exchange speaks volumes, symbolizing guidance, tenderness, and connection across time. It’s a visual extension of the track’s emotional weight — subtle, meaningful, and open to interpretation.
Also available is an instrumental version of the track, designed as a canvas for meditation, journaling, or personal creativity. It reflects Harry’s intention to make space — not just artistically, but emotionally — for others to find themselves within the piece. It’s a generous offering from an artist whose work has always been rooted in human connection.
While “Dear You, It’s Me” may be a one-off in terms of format, it signals a rich new chapter in Harry’s solo journey. With future material set to return to melodic song, this track stands as a quiet monument to introspection, honesty, and the quiet bravery of speaking to oneself with kindness.
Songwriters often draw from personal experience, but what makes Just a Daydream stand out is the way AMBER reshapes those experiences through imagination. Instead of presenting events exactly as they happened, she builds scenes that feel colourful, expressive and full of possibility, giving the songs a distinctive identity from the very beginning.
That approach reflects the idea behind the EP’s title. What begins as a passing thought or a hopeful fantasy gradually develops into something more tangible, carrying listeners through romance, longing, disappointment and, ultimately, self-acceptance. The songs remain connected by that thread, making the EP feel like one continuous conversation rather than a collection of separate ideas.
Musically, AMBER blends soul, jazz, funk and pop touches without allowing any one influence to dominate. The lively pulse of “Say What” explores the confusion that can grow from crossed wires, while “Aromatherapy” offers a gentler close, bringing the emotional journey to a place of calm reflection.
Working with producer Kipper Eldridge, AMBER has created a debut that places storytelling at its heart. Every musical choice supports the atmosphere of the songs, allowing the lyrics and performances to take centre stage. Out now through Now Listen, Just a Daydream is more than a collection of well-made tracks. It is an invitation into a creative world where imagination gives everyday emotions a fresh perspective and where even the smallest moments have a story worth telling.
