“Shatter,” the latest single from New York duo RYAL, arrives as both a quiet breath and a sudden punch to the chest. With this “Shatter,” the band, led by vocalist Jacque Ryal and producer Aaron Nevezie, celebrates their 60th single, making it clear that they still have much to say and to shout in the synth-pop scene.
From the opening beat, “Shatter” strikes with unfiltered emotions. It is a vivid portrait of toxic love and karmic cycles returning to test both body and soul. Its shimmering synths and cinematic tension shape a soundscape where fragility sharpens into a weapon. The lyrics cut through like a reminder that old wounds never fully vanish.
Musically, the song carries RYAL’s signature stamp, a fusion of Robyn’s bright melancholy and Little Dragon’s polished sophistication, but with a dark, almost film-noir twist. Nevezie’s production layers synths that collide and melt in slow motion, while Jacque’s voice walks the fine line between fragility and defiant strength.
To mark the release, RYAL is embracing music’s physical roots with a limited-edition cassette, available exclusively through their website. The gesture not only honored but also reaffirmed their devotion to a complete sensorial experience where sight, touch, and sound converge in perfect harmony. "Shatter" is a neon-lit outcry that pulls you onto the dance floor, even with your heart in fragments.
