San Francisco-born and Geneva-raised, Anastasia Solay is an artist who thrives in the spaces between genres. With her feet planted firmly in jazz, trip-hop, and soul, her music feels like a bridge between cinematic storytelling and intimate confessionals. Now based in London, Anastasia has grown from a young poet with a guitar into a genre-defying powerhouse, crafting songs that linger long after the final note.
Her latest single, Shattered Glass, strips away the grandeur to reveal raw emotion. Following her debut album, Heart of a Star, Anastasia closes 2024 with a track that feels both vulnerable and empowering. It’s an ode to love’s quiet complexities, delivered with the grace of a seasoned artist and the honesty of a close friend.
The song begins in a place of simplicity—an electric guitar hums softly, framing Anastasia’s voice as the heart of the story. But as Shattered Glass unfolds, it blossoms. Strings emerge—rich, sweeping cello and violin lines that elevate the melody without overshadowing its delicate core. This thoughtful arrangement speaks to Anastasia’s ability to craft songs that feel timeless, nodding to the past while embracing the now.
Vocally, Anastasia is magnetic. Shades of Amy Winehouse and Etta James come through in her delivery, but her sound is unmistakably her own. She moves between soft vulnerability and unrestrained power with ease, her voice carrying the weight of the song’s themes: love, selflessness, and the resilience required to truly open oneself to another.
The accompanying music video, shot with a minimalist touch, mirrors the track’s understated elegance. Featuring Anastasia alongside her guitarist Junior, it feels as intimate as a live performance—inviting viewers into the world she’s created with the song.
As Anastasia Solay enters 2025, her artistry only continues to deepen. With Shattered Glass, she reaffirms her ability to create music that resonates across boundaries—geographic, stylistic, and emotional. Keep her on your radar; Anastasia is just getting started.
