Fernando Honorato aka Fernando’s Eyes is back with his new single ‘Center of Your World’, a song that arrives as a quiet, persistent heartbeat that doesn’t rush to prove anything.
This latest offering from the Gothenburg-based artist leans into a timeless vulnerability, the ache of wanting to belong more fully in someone else’s life. Honorato walks the line between fragility and strength with a kind of songwriter’s poise that feels tenderly vulnerable.
There’s a lullaby softness in the way the song moves, with live drums lending just enough weight to keep it from floating away. The arrangement breathes with organic texture: every note feels hand-placed, from the subtle piano phrases to the rich basslines that cradle the vocal without ever overpowering it.
Honorato’s voice carries a beautifully worn quality. There’s yearning here, but no bitterness. Instead, the song settles into a space of acceptance; of loving from the edges, of hoping without demanding.
If ‘A Million Times’ introduced us to his more electronic and glimmering side, ‘Center of Your World’ draws from a deeper, earthier palette. It feels rooted in classic songwriting traditions, but there’s nothing dated about it. This is music that speaks in low tones, letting emotion rise to the surface without ever forcing it.
Also worth noting is the inclusion of a beautifully reimagined remix of ‘A Million Times’ reworked by White Birches, with added vocals by Jenny Gabrielsson Mare. It offers a completely different perspective, giving the release an elegant contrast between grounded warmth and spectral shimmer.
With his debut solo album just around the corner, ‘Center of Your World’ feels like a key piece in Honorato’s growing body of work; a moment of stillness, of honesty, of trying to be seen. In a world that moves too fast, there’s something quietly powerful about a song that just sits with you for a while.
