Gentle 80s synth pop in the Glass Spells singer's first solo outing
With "The Flame," Glass Spells singer Tania Cassette releases her first song as a solo artist. The sound leans heavily towards soft, 80s-infused dark pop. To me, it's more reminiscent of the softer, synthesizer-heavy pop songs of the 80s, like those by C.C. Catch and Sandra. The sound is, of course, quite modern.
While the lyrics describe an almost painful surrender ("You break me down, then throw me back in the fire"), the track remains consistently danceable. "The Flame" also sounds a bit like typical Glass Spells to me. But that's probably due to her ethereal vocals. I'm curious to see how diverse Tania Cassette's solo songs will be.

Lyrics of "Tania Cassette – The Flame"
Devotion
Engraved
The way you cursed my name
Forbidden
Embrace
The silence that remains
The moonlit passion bitter pain
Falling through the flame
Calling out your name
You break me down
Then throw me back in the fire
Echoing your name
Eternal
Disgrace
The you walked away
A void that
Remains
The way you left me forever
The twilight passion bitter pain
Falling through the flame
Calling out your name
You break me down
Then throw me back in the fire
Echoing your name
In the dead night I will call
Your name
In the dead of night I will fall
For pain
Will you reach for me as I plead in vain
In the dead of night I will fall
For pain
Falling through flame
Echoing your name
Falling through flame
Calling out your name
You break me down
Then throw me back in the fire
Echoing your name
Echoing your name
