Patti Spadaro's "Glass Shatters" Entertains While Empowering Women



Patti Spadaro's latest single, "Glass Shatters," is an empowering anthem that celebrates women’s resilience and progress, drawing inspiration from Vice President Kamala Harris's historic election. Released in June 2024, the track is not just a tribute to Harris but also a rallying cry for women to continue pushing boundaries, breaking glass ceilings, and rising to new heights. Featuring a stellar lineup of female musicians and vocalists from the Pittsburgh, PA area, the single combines powerful lyrics, infectious blues-rock instrumentation, and a sense of community that shines through both the song and its accompanying video.

"Glass Shatters" opens with fluid, bluesy guitar riffs, a hallmark of Spadaro’s style, immediately setting a laid-back but confident tone. The lyrics “Glass shatters, clear the way/ declare today a holiday” call back to the momentous occasion when Harris became the first female Vice President of the United States. With this opening line, the song invites listeners to join in celebrating a long-overdue milestone in women's representation. The chorus, “Women, this is our nation/ keep rising up/ never giving up/ hear us roar,” echoes the sentiments of empowerment and solidarity, creating an uplifting anthem for all women.

Vocally, Spadaro is supported by some of Pittsburgh's finest. Anne Celedonia, Cherylann Hawk, Jill Simmons, and Alison McTavish all contribute harmonies that blend effortlessly, enhancing the song's collective spirit. Their combined voices reinforce the message that progress is made not in isolation but through collaboration and mutual support. Each singer brings her own unique style to the table, adding depth and dimension to the track. Hawk’s harmonies stand out in particular, providing a soulful touch that complements Spadaro’s bluesy lead vocals.

Lyrically, the song weaves metaphors of growth and strength. One of the most poignant lines, “Lotus rising, up from the mud, grow through resistance, bloom from a bud,” references Kamala Harris's name, which means lotus. This metaphorical imagery reflects Harris’s ability to rise and thrive in male-dominated fields, symbolizing the broader struggle of women throughout history. The recurring theme of shattering the glass ceiling is emphasized as the song builds toward the bridge, where Spadaro sings, “Gonna shatter this ceiling to a million pieces,” embodying hope, determination, and triumph.

Musically, Spadaro's signature guitar work, backed by drummer Eric Kurtzrock and bassist Ryan Black, gives the song a smooth, groove-oriented foundation. Kurtzrock’s drumming keeps the energy light yet assertive, while Black’s bass lines provide a steady undercurrent that complements the message of unity and persistence. Together, the band creates a sound that is simultaneously celebratory and determined.

The "Glass Shatters" music video, filmed in Pittsburgh and directed by David Heath, amplifies the song’s message of empowerment. It captures iconic city landmarks as Spadaro and Hawk lead a group of friends in a jubilant parade around Point State Park. The video won "Best Music Video" at the Golden Lion International Film Festival, further solidifying the song’s impact.

In summary, Patti Spadaro's "Glass Shatters" is an inspiring, celebratory single that honors women’s progress and encourages continued resilience. With a rich blend of blues-rock instrumentation and meaningful lyrics, the track is a tribute not only to Kamala Harris but to all women who continue to rise against the odds. Available on most streaming platforms, the song has already garnered international attention, making it a powerful addition to Spadaro’s discography.
