They have created something enchanting with this new tune. They pull off electro pop, where a lot of other bands fail. The chorus “there’s something magical in the air” is catchy and uplifting, and gives a nod to their previous remix work.
Depeche Mode always took a backseat to my love for The Cure, but after this great new single I’m going to go back and re-listen to my old DM albums. Fragile Tension is a song that grasps the perfect amount of 80’s disco pop and dark electro grunge that is needed to make a great revival track and an even greater comeback.
