Irish singer-songwriter Harry Hudson Taylor steps away from conventional song structure to deliver a powerful, spoken-word letter set to ambient hip-hop textures. Self-produced and deeply personal, the ‘Dear You, It’s Me’ originated as a private journal entry, a quiet moment of introspection written during a café break, and evolved into a poetic offering of self-compassion. Harry’s voice is steady and sincere, guiding the listener through themes of vulnerability, growth, and reflection, as though speaking directly to a future or past self.

This one-off departure from his more melodic, harmony-rich style reveals an artist unafraid to experiment with form and emotion. The accompanying short film, shot in Berlin, adds a cinematic weight, culminating in a poignant embrace with an older man. It’s a symbolic gesture of inner healing and wisdom. While Harry’s upcoming work will return to sung, melodic storytelling, ‘Dear You, It’s Me’ stands as a gentle but profound interlude. This is an ambient, emotionally rich reminder to pause, listen inward, and extend compassion, both to ourselves and to others.

“I wrote this as a diary entry during a break at the café where I was working. I was writing along to the instrumental hip-hop beats my boss always had playing. It started as something I needed to hear — a quiet conversation with myself. I figured, if I needed it, maybe someone else might too. That’s why I’ve included the instrumental version as well — something grounding and spacious. I like the idea that it can hold people without words, just as it did for me.”
