I’m breathing but its lust
Make me yours
Don’t leave me dry
Forgiver don’t you need the lies
Glass Spells’ sultry music video for Venom bites hard and lingers like perfume in a fever dream. It’s a track that belongs to that strange hour between night and morning, when pleasure and ruin hold hands. Synths glint and glide with a lacquered precision, while Tania Costello’s silken voice slices through the haze like a confession whispered too close to the ear. There’s hunger in her phrasing, but also resignation: each breath steeped in the ache of wanting to be wanted.
Anthony Ramirez builds the framework; his synths sway and smolder as the rhythm pumps with decadent restraint, a pulse that feels mechanical yet human…too human. Every note moves like a polished threat, beckoning you toward the glint of danger you secretly crave. This is pop music seen through a cracked mirror: beautiful, distorted, and merciless.
Venom carries that peculiar Glass Spells balance: retro glamour fused with modern unease. The production feels steeped in smoke and static, a ghost signal from a lost dance floor. Yet beneath the gloss lies something raw. When Costello repeats her plea, “Make me yours,” it’s a spell, a curse, a contract written in want. The tension between love and annihilation hums throughout, as if the song itself might collapse under the weight of its own desire.
Venom is about surrender, the willingness to be poisoned for a taste of connection. It’s disco for the damned, synth-pop for the sleepless, a slow descent lit by strobes and longing. Every beat drips with tension, every chorus begs for the next. And when it ends, you find yourself pressing replay—not for clarity, but for another sip of the poison.
The accompanying video, directed by Oz Riveros, heightens the decadence. We see the band framed in fractured glass and glowing candlelit tones: part performance, part fevered hallucination. Costello, dripping in jewels, channels both vampire and saint; Ramirez looms like a conjurer of rhythm. The camera lingers on red hues and reflective surfaces, creating an atmosphere of temptation that feels both cinematic and claustrophobic.
