Anastasia Solay has done it again, proving that genre boxes are for amateurs with her latest single ‘Shattered Glass’. This soul-infused ballad hits like a heartfelt whisper before exploding into a full-bodied cry of emotional release. Think Amy Winehouse meets Lana Del Rey at an after-hours jam session in a smoky London club—intimate, intoxicating, and utterly unforgettable.
The song opens with a mesmerizing electric guitar that feels like a conversation you can’t stop listening to. Solay’s voice enters softly, brimming with tenderness, before soaring into a raw, powerful crescendo. The addition of strings—cello and violin—adds a cinematic richness that’ll make you want to close your eyes and just feel.
Lyrically, Solay delves deep into themes of vulnerability and selflessness, delivering lines with the kind of honesty that makes you question if she’s been reading your diary. The track’s minimal production lets the emotions shine without ever feeling bare—a perfect showcase for a song that’s both delicate and commanding.
The accompanying music video is a gem in itself, capturing Anastasia and her guitarist in a gorgeously nostalgic, lo-fi aesthetic. It’s like a love letter to 2000s pop, yet somehow it feels undeniably modern. If ‘Shattered Glass’ is any indication of what Solay has in store for us, 2025 is about to be her year.
