An emotionally tender, romantically charged title track that captures Fernando Honorato’s evolution in sound and spirit. Fernando Honorato, best known as the frontman of Swedish post-punk band Principe Valiente, has stepped into a bold new chapter with his solo project Fernando’s Eyes. Under this moniker, he’s preparing to release his debut solo album “Center of Your World” on June 13th via Aenaos Records (Germany) and Icy Cold Records (France). Ahead of the album, the second single—and title track—dropped on May 2nd, and it’s a stunning glimpse into Honorato’s more personal and emotionally stripped-down direction.
At its heart, “Center Of Your World” is a romantic plea, drenched in longing. There’s a lullaby-like softness to it that makes the track instantly intimate, and yet, it pulses with quiet intensity. Honorato’s voice, as always, carries a deep emotional weight, but here it feels warmer—more fragile. Gone are the heavy layers of his post-punk roots; in their place are cinematic textures and subtle instrumentation that allow the song’s emotional core to shine.
Lyrically, the song explores the aching desire to be truly seen and accepted by someone else—to find a place in their universe. But it’s not just about longing. There’s also a sense of hope threaded through the melody. Even though the song acknowledges the struggle of not quite breaking through, it never slips into despair. Instead, Honorato offers something more optimistic—a belief in the quiet beauty of connection, even when it feels just out of reach.
Musically, “Center Of Your World” shows a more organic side of the upcoming album. It contrasts nicely with the first single, “A Million Times”, which leaned into more delicate, electronic production. Together, the two singles give a promising glimpse of the full record’s range—from ambient introspection to soul-baring warmth.
What’s most impressive is how personal this track feels. You can tell that this solo project is deeply meaningful to Honorato. In his own words, he’s “very excited about this new chapter” and eager to explore new ways of writing. That exploration is already paying off. With Fernando’s Eyes, he’s stepping into a space where vulnerability is strength, and where romantic emotion is rendered with a poetic, cinematic touch.
As the full album “Center Of Your World” approaches its release, this title track sets the tone beautifully. It’s not just a song; it’s a statement of intent. Honorato is opening up—and inviting listeners to do the same.
Highly recommended for fans of: cinematic dark pop, post-punk with heart, and emotionally honest songwriting. With Fernando’s Eyes, Fernando Honorato reminds us that there’s power in being emotionally bare—and “Center Of Your World” is the perfect introduction to this beautifully reflective new era.
