Flame (Original Single)
Thomas Bernard Howard has carved a singular artistic path with his debut album, delivered like chapters of a book. The album’s second single, “Flame,” shines a brilliant light on his vast imagination and beautifully crafted sound into an experience touching the soul.
Born from meticulous craftsmanship and emotional rawness, “Flame” cradles the listener in gorgeously overwhelming sonic beauty. Howard, as both a writer and producer of his own music, skillfully blends electronic and acoustic instruments, giving his compositions a hypnotic yet elegant style that transports the listener to another place.
The song begins with a mesmerizing key line — simple yet dazzling in its magic. Layer by layer, the arrangement builds into an expansive soundscape of symphonic synths, gently brushed percussion and shimmering strings. The restrained and delicate production allows each element to come through clearly, like fireflies blinking in the dark.
The sonorous melody unfurls like a vivid dream, avoiding even the briefest pause in its progression. Not a single tone of sound is squandered as the tune develops. Every instrument contributes conjuring notes that evoke images, and every vocal pitch imbues each lyric with emotion that heightens the splendid whole. The ears partake of euphony, while the mind envisions scenes glimpsed only through a lens of artistic wonder.
Though only the second chapter of his album, “Flame” already showcases Thomas Bernard Howard as an artist to watch. Whatever sonic territory he explores next, one thing is sure — his breathtaking grasp of melody, atmosphere, and arrangement will continue to cast an enchanting glow on all those fortunate enough to cross his musical path. With “Flame,” Howard has ignited a beacon to guide lost souls — at least until we meet again, across the ocean of time and space, carried on the wings of touch.
