Sydney artist Harry Fitzgerald has made his return with a brand new release titled 'Talk It Out'; a song that details the experience of "choosing silence over communication to avoid conflict" in relationships while being sonically charismatic and incredibly danceable. On the new single, Harry expands;
"'Talk It Out' is a song that really taps into some of my more avoidant tendencies, both in relationships and in dealing with my own emotions. It's about how, sometimes, I'd rather just keep quiet and keep the peace instead of risking a confrontation that might stir things up. There's a kind of fear that comes with the idea of speaking up, especially when it feels like what you say might cause a rift, or when you start believing that the other person's feelings are more important than your own discomfort." HARRY FITZGERALD
As a gorgeously unguarded and honest track delving into some pretty charged topics, 'Talk It Out' utilises a sense of glittering charm and ease, while still well and truly managing to hit home thematically. The track blends indie pop and electro-pop sensibilities, the result being a stunning, funky, bass and synth-driven gem, evoking a vibe similar to beloved acts like Ruel, Wallows and Troye Sivan.
Releasing his first ever tracks ('Better Thoughts' and 'Head in Knots') in 2020 at the age of 17, Harry Fitzgerald has been writing music since he was just 15 years old. Following these debut releases, Harry saw support from a range of spaces across the industry; 'Head in Knots' was featured by Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1, while 'Better Thoughts' was featured on the Vogue Paris playlist. Both tracks were also featured by Channel 7 on beloved Australian drama program, Home & Away. Meanwhile, Harry was picked as a triple j Unearthed High finalist for 2020. Having been signed to a recording deal with Ivy League Records (Mushroom) but since having ended his contract with the label in order to pursue an independent artist path, 'Talk It Out' arrives as Harry's first release since his 2020 duo of singles, and as the first step into an exciting new era for the young indie artist.
