Fernando’s Eyes – “Center Of Your World”

“Center Of Your World”, the debut album from Fernando’s Eyes, lands like a quiet, unexpected conversation that somehow lingers in your head for days. If you’re familiar with Fernando Honorato’s work in Principe Valiente, you’ll hear echoes of that post-punk DNA here, but it’s softer around the edges, more vulnerable. This isn’t a record trying to make a scene, it’s one that wants to sit with you a while.

“A Million Times” leans into that electronic stillness, while the title track feels warmer, almost like it’s exhaling something it’s held in for too long, and to be honest, it’s my favorite track of the album. “Lady In Black” and “The Fire Of The Night” have this kind of cinematic sadness that isn’t trying to impress you, it’s just honest. There’s a really organic feel to how the album flows. Nothing feels rushed or overly polished, and that’s a good thing. It sounds like it was made by someone who knew exactly what they wanted to say, even if they had to whisper it.

There’s also a beautiful touch in how the album closes with “Live To Tell.” Covering a Madonna classic isn’t a small move, but Fernando pulls it off with surprising tenderness. It’s not flashy. It’s just really, really sincere.

If this is your first time hearing Fernando’s Eyes, go in with open ears and take your time. This album doesn’t beg for attention. It earns it. Make sure to follow Fernando’s Eyes on social media to keep up with new music through the rest of 2025.
