Unstoppable, magnetic, and razor-sharp—Glass Rumours strike gold with their most thrilling track yet.

We’ve been fans of Glass Rumours for a while now, but with this latest track, they’ve done more than raise the bar. They’ve blown the roof off. There’s a sense of ignition in every second of their sound, but “Ray Gun” is the kind of release that doesn’t just evolve their sound. It launches it into an entirely new atmosphere.

“Ray Gun” explodes straight out of the gate like a controlled detonation. The drums hit like thunderbolts, each fill sharp and urgent, as if they’re clawing their way out of the speakers. They don’t just drive the track. They chase it, and the guitars, delivered by Paul Mead, are right there beside them, snarling and flashing like a wildfire catching wind. The sonic friction between the two is pure adrenaline. It’s intense, almost relentless, until everything suddenly collapses downward, like a speeding car cresting a hill before tumbling into chaos. And it’s in that moment, just as things seem like they can’t get any more unhinged, that Gemma’s voice enters, and the whole thing detonates again with a fresh surge of energy.

Her vocals hit like nitro to a flame. It’s perfectly timed, both in placement and intensity, adding a layer of ferocity that’s electrifying. What follows is a rollercoaster of high-octane performance and sharp, deliberate production choices that amplify the already white-hot energy of the track. The clarity and direction in every decision elevate this from a great song to an unforgettable one.

Gemma’s performance, in particular, is nothing short of staggering. She’s found a commanding new space in her vocal identity, a synthesis of raw, unfiltered rock attitude and a technically powerful delivery that brings to mind the kind of precision and poise usually reserved for vocalists of Adele’s caliber. Her control is tighter, her power more focused, and the tonal shifts between grit and grace feel instinctive. Her voice launches into the stratosphere yet remains locked in with pinpoint clarity. There’s range here, but more impressively, there’s discipline. Every note serves the song.

The instrumentation throughout “Ray Gun” is built to move, to elevate, and to overwhelm in the best possible way. Paul Mead's guitar solos tear across the track like sparks across pavement, unpredictable and fiery. The drum work is breathless, almost competitive with itself, racing toward an unseen finish line. Beneath all of it, the bass rolls forward like a steam engine, thick, heavy, and unstoppable. The entire arrangement is tied together with a kind of seamless force that feels both massive and intricately considered. And tying that wall of sound to a set of magnetic, emotionally charged lyrics is what cements this as a serious win.

Glass Rumours didn’t just write and perform this track. They produced it too. And they nailed it. The sound is sharp and polished, but the intensity still crackles underneath. The mix is tight. Every element cuts through, from the soaring vocals to the searing guitar lines, without ever feeling disconnected. It’s unified. It’s alive. Loud, raw, and real. That balance is hard to hit, but they make it sound effortless.

We were absolutely floored by what Glass Rumours delivered here with “Ray Gun”. The depth of talent, the precision in the execution, and the sheer unpredictability of the journey left us hyped and hungry for more. Every new turn in the track hit us with a fresh jolt of excitement. This band isn’t just going somewhere - they’ve already arrived.

With work like this, there’s no doubt they’re going to dominate wherever they go next.
