Rock/Review My Glass World - Words

British duo My Glass World deliver an eclectic meld of rock, pop, jazz, and classical as they take listeners on their personal musical journey. My Glass World in its current incarnation has two members: Jamie Telford and Sean Read.

My Glass World's debut single, "Words," off their upcoming album “Stranded Assets,” is a incisive, provocative song that analyzes the importance and power of words in contemporary society. The overpowering magnitude of the words that permeate our everyday lives and influence our ideas, deeds, and occasionally even who we are is captured in the song.

Sonically, “Words” features the distinctively deep lyrics and lavish orchestration that My Glass World is renowned for. Every phrase in the song hits hard thanks to the clear, purposeful vocal delivery, which compels the listener to take in its meaning. The production strikes a balance between an undercurrent of urgency and a melodic, reflective atmosphere, making it feel both intimate and expansive.

The song's lyrics blend in perfectly with “Stranded Assets'“ overall themes, which are meant to be a moving meditation on the social and political changes of our day. With allusions to societal control, digital influence, and economic instability, the song depicts a society overflowing with words but frequently devoid of real comprehension or transformation.

The mood of “Stranded Assets” is established by the captivating and topical track "Words." It pushes listeners to become more conscious of the language they encounter and how it subtly—or significantly—influences their environment. An impressive album from a group that consistently combines engaging musicianship with perceptive lyrics.
