Music Crowns is proud to premiere “What Do You Take Me For”, the latest single from acclaimed Irish singer-songwriter Harry Hudson Taylor, offering listeners an exclusive first look at the next chapter in his compelling solo journey.
Following the critical success of his debut solo EP More Than Enough, Harry Hudson Taylor returns with a deeply personal release that continues to showcase his evolution as one of Ireland’s most thoughtful independent artists. Best known as one half of Hudson Taylor, Harry spent over a decade building an international audience, earning a Number One album in Ireland, amassing more than 30 million Spotify streams and sharing stages with legendary artists including The Rolling Stones and Hozier. Now, as a solo musician, he is embracing complete creative independence with music that feels more intimate, reflective and artistically fearless than ever before.
Serving as the latest preview of his forthcoming EP Hiding From Nature, due later this year, What Do You Take Me For perfectly encapsulates Harry’s refined approach to songwriting. Blending indie folk, alternative rock and understated pop influences, the track is built around honest lyricism and elegant melodies that linger long after the final note. Rather than relying on grand production, the song allows emotion to lead, inviting listeners into a world shaped by vulnerability, self reflection and quiet resilience.
Entirely self-produced in his home studio, the single reflects Harry’s increasingly hands-on creative process. After developing the song independently, he enlisted drummer Shay Sweeney before entrusting the final mix to Paul Carr. Co-written with Seraphina Taylor, whose beautifully understated backing vocals have become an essential part of Harry’s evolving sound, the track captures the warmth and intimacy that define this exciting new era of his career.
Harry’s solo catalogue has steadily earned praise from publications including RTÉ Entertainment, Hot Press, Atwood Magazine, EARMILK, CULTR, Pure M Magazine, Jammerzine and The Other Side Reviews, with critics consistently highlighting his timeless songwriting and understated musicianship. Listeners who appreciate artists such as Villagers, Bright Eyes, Wilco, Beck and George Harrison will find much to admire in Harry’s ability to balance emotional honesty with carefully crafted melodies.
With Hiding From Nature on the horizon and an intimate Irish headline tour scheduled for October 2026 alongside Seraphina Taylor, Harry Hudson Taylor continues to establish himself as one of Ireland’s most compelling contemporary singer-songwriters. What Do You Take Me For is not only another beautifully realised release, but also a confident statement from an artist fully embracing his own creative voice. Music Crowns is delighted to premiere a song that quietly reminds us that the most powerful music often speaks in its own time.
Speaking about his creative process, Harry says: “This song is about how manipulated modern life can feel, the algorithms, the tribalism, the sense that everyone’s being sorted into a side. I wrote it while trying every coping mechanism I had, addictions, fasting, meditating, medicating, just to stay standing in the middle of it. ‘What Do You Take Me For’ is the question I kept asking the system, and myself.”
