HERO (Just for Today) - GlassJack (Pop) GlassJack is holding out for a hero on latest record “HERO (Just for Today)”. A retro pop track, the beats call to 80s/90s dance floors and feels primed for summertime outdoor tea dances. It’s a sizzling mix with great instrument separation as the thudding kick drives us relentlessly forward while synths, a pounding piano and wailing guitar create the sonic soundscape. All of this supports GlassJack’s strong belt that never gets overpowered by the full instrumentation. Aside from the title, we have to believe that the Bonnie Tyler track provided some inspiration for this one, as we can hear it right alongside that classic along with “It’s Raining Men”, “Total Eclipse of the Heart” and “Flashdance What A Feeling”.
Best Lyric: “The monster in the mirror is looking back at me every day.”
