It&#8217;s a dark, eerie song with hypnotic beats that makes you wanna dance all night along. <strong>Temporary Lover<\/strong> goes straight into post-punk, with a less melancholic and more cheerful song.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dream Girl<\/strong> has a synthpop tune, marked by a monotonous beat, a lot of synthesizers, as song from the 1980s with ethereal vocals. <strong>Mortal Flaw<\/strong> embraces synthpop, with its tribal beat uprising along the song. It has a dark sensuality cutting through the beats that disputes our attention.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Unchained<\/strong> fuses the beginning and the second half of the album, blending synthpop, ethereal, shoegaze, and darkwave. It&#8217;s more experimental, with elements that needs our attention. <strong>Dark Age<\/strong> finishes with an epic theme, lifeful, giving a contrasting color to the dark tunes of this recording. It is a conflict to all the melancholy and despair in the rest of this album.<\/p>\n<p>The album is excellent. Tara has already shown a lot of creative ability with the cover of Patti Smith&#8217;s Dancing Barefoot and now presents herself to the world in a mature, consistent manner. Congratulations on the work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tara Jane, under the solo project Caress, released her debut album, &#8220;Night Call,&#8221; inspired by 4AD bands and contemporary artists.
