Francis Tural is a brand new and exciting and energetic singer-songwriter, now based in London but originally from Florence. He has spent a lot of time perfecting his craft and has been relentless in terms of his dedication to songwriting and also production. The first instalment of this offering is ‘Hold Back Your Tears’, which is certainly a mover, packed full of energy from the off.
The electronic synth lines are bright and colourful throughout, alongside Francis’ unique, powerful and emotive vocals. You can still hear instances of his native Italian tongue, which really brings a cutting edge to the whole performance. ‘Hold Back Your Tears’ is an instant classic, which brings you back to those 1980s hits, with a defined and modern touch.
Speaking more on the upcoming release, Francis explains:
“I wanted to develop a song that was a real anthem of energy, with high bpm and fast drum and bass sequencing in order to make people move. The whole writing process has been a quick flow of consciousness (it took me more or less 2 days to create the song from start to finish).
The theme behind it’s pretty simple and has two main articulations; a darker envelope of the theme in the verses and a brighter one in the choruses, in order to create that juxtaposition that leads to an explosion of energy in the choruses.”
