William Fitzsimmons - Let You Break

Review by Read Write. Blews Earthling

Let You Break, the latest album by William Fitzsimmons, is an emotional journey through heartbreak and healing. The album is a departure from Fitzsimmons' earlier work, which was characterized by stripped-down acoustic arrangements and introspective lyrics. On Let You Break, Fitzsimmons experiments with a fuller sound, incorporating electronic beats and atmospheric textures.

The album opens with "Lovely," a haunting track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. Fitzsimmons' delicate vocals are complemented by sparse piano chords and ethereal synths. "Distant Lovers" is a standout track, with its pulsing beat and soaring chorus. Fitzsimmons' lyrics are raw and honest, exploring the pain of a long-distance relationship.

The album's title track, "Let You Break," is a poignant ballad that showcases Fitzsimmons' gift for storytelling. The song is a reflection on the end of a relationship, with Fitzsimmons admitting that he let his partner break his heart. The chorus is heartbreaking in its simplicity: "I let you break me, I let you break me down."

Let You Break is not without its missteps. "Leave Her" feels somewhat out of place on the album, with its upbeat tempo and optimistic lyrics. The song feels like a departure from the album's overall mood of melancholy introspection.

Let You Break is a strong addition to Fitzsimmons' discography. The album is a testament to his growth as an artist, with its bold experimentation and willingness to take risks. Fans of Fitzsimmons' earlier work may be surprised by the album's fuller sound, but Let You Break is a welcome evolution of his signature sound.
