Earlier this year, we introduced you to Abby Nissenbaum‘s EP via the single ‘Shelly Johnson’. Now, with the official release of the Unreliable Narrator EP all underway, the singer-songwriter gives us another scintillating treat through a music video for a track from the record, ‘Glass Half Full’.
As you’ll discover, the track showcases Nissenbaum‘s artistic range, combining electronic beats, swelling bass, intertwining guitar lines, and glitches. Blending lo-fi electronics with indie-rock sensibilities and pop accessibility, ‘Glass Half Full’ creates a shimmering cross-genre experience. The song builds up with explosive guitar lines and grand synths in the high-octane chorus, accompanied by the artist’s emotive lead vocals, resulting in a heartfelt, exhilarating, and cinematic journey.
Abby Nissenbaum shares that ‘Glass Half Full’ serves as a LGBTQ+ heartbreak anthem:
“’Glass Half Full’ is a lesbian/queer heartbreak anthem capturing the anguish of betrayal in a relationship. The music video plays out like a short film, with director Morgan Jergens masterfully capturing the intense beauty of a Sapphic relationship alongside the pain at each fracture as it falls apart. I chose a Pride Month release for this music video to highlight the power and realness of LGBTQ+ relationships, even as the world continues to question our legitimacy.”
By releasing the video during Pride Month, Abby Nissenbaum aims to showcase the power and authenticity of LGBTQ+ relationships.
You can also listen to ‘Glass Half Full’ in our Indie Rockers and Shades of Pop playlists.
