The latest song “Flames” by Myah is a perfect pop-ballad that seems to lay bare the bitter pain of a waning relationship. This track demonstrates Myah as a solo artiste, where she combines deep lyrics with instrumentals to come up with a compelling music experience.
It touches on the emotions that occur when one is in a relationship with a partner who has avoidant attachment issues. Myah gives a detailed description of a partner who thinks they do not deserve love and can never escape her mind. This can be seen from the lyrics of the song in the fact that; they are immediately a raw plea to try and save the relationship; after pin pointing the fact that the man has emotionally disconnected himself.
“Flames” is built around the mechanical, sci-fi / synth beat, which adds to the ethereal sound of Myah’s voice. The song is slow and laid back, which is complemented by deep bass notes and twinkly synthesizers in the sky, which definitely suit the mood of this composition to the core. The rich sound of guitars and harmonic vocals completes the composition and gives the track a perfect, almost substantial, depth.
The chorus is very powerful; Myah sings about the fire of a relationship being out of control, attempting to put out the fire, and save her man from the bleeding that symbolize destructive thoughts.
In “Flames,” Myah’s production, mix, and master are well captured – this reflects not only Myah’s carriage but essentially, her musicianship to express intricate feelings in song – this song is a perfect remedy for those suffering from lost relationship, it enables one to reflect on the burning fire that has reduced to ashes.
