New York based electronic-meets-whimsical-dream-pop artist Glassio has just unveiled his latest single “Breakaway.” The irresistibly catchy song is the latest single off of his upcoming album See You Shine, out May 18th.
In “Breakaway,” Glassio explores having the desire and courage to leave somewhere that doesn’t fulfill you. With lyrics like, “but I’ll take time over God I gotta run so far away/ I’ll take life, over dark/ I gotta leave my home/leave my soul and break away,” Glassio details that in order for one to truly understand themselves and feel free one must leave a home that is filled with conflict and unhappiness. With bouncy and colorful synths, soaring melodies and driving electronic-drenched beats, “Breakaway” is an uplifting musical exploration of having the realization to prioritize one’s own life goals and ultimate happiness.
Glassio’s upcoming album See You Shine is a fourteen track full length that was written during the pandemic and explores themes such as grief, loss, and resilience. His latest music is dedicated to his beloved father whom he lost due to complications from COVID. With an eclectic mix of synth pop and electronic soul, Glassio succeeds in crafting an engaging genre-defining sound full of depth. Take a listen to “Breakaway” now and remember to decide to put yourself first.
