With the weekend a mere few hours away, many are looking towards a few days spent partying with friends. If this is you, Francis Tural’s “Hold Back Your Tears” is the only song you should be listening to. Layered with twinkling retro synth and the artist’s commanding vocals, the song is a party-ready and dance-inducing cut that is sure to have you in a good mood. And, with the artist’s masterful penmanship at the helm of lyrics, the track becomes all the more infectious.

“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,” explains Francis. “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.”

With his latest release setting the explosive tone of his year, expect big things from Francis Tural very soon.
