Fueled by the momentous inauguration of the first female Vice President in 2021, Patti Spadaro has released a powerful anthem of unity and female empowerment in “Glass Shatters.”
The song opens with intricate electric guitar riffs and bends over strumming guitars before the beats and the cymbals start to spark. Spadaro’s rich, soulful and powerful vocals emerge as she sings of having “joyful tears” after witnessing a long-awaited change. The lyrics, “Glass shatters, clear the way,” perfectly capture the sense of breaking down barriers and forging a new path.
The soaring vocals of Spadaro and her backing singers, Cherylann Hawk, Jill Simmons, and Alison McTavish empower us with their voices coming together to represent the unity of people. The catchy chorus, with its sing-along melody and uplifting rhyming lyrics, makes “Glass Shatters” even more memorable and powerful.
The bridge takes a moment of respite, with gentle piano chords symbolizing renewal and rising with the image of a “lotus rising up from the mud.” The song then explodes into its powerful crescendo, Spadaro’s voice soaring with exhilarating vibrato as the lyrics declare, “Gonna shatter this ceiling to a million pieces.”
The music video perfectly complements the song’s message. Scenes of Spadaro recording the track in the studio interweave with shots of her walking around the city with other women, their voices harmonizing in celebration. It’s a powerful visual representation of the collective strength and unity that “Glass Shatters” embodies.
