Since Samer Fanek made his return to us here on One World Music Radio he has been on a roll, one which started with a massive hit single called Fleeting Struggle and one that continues with this his latest colourful creation entitled Glass Half Empty, and this classy jazzy styled manifestation is something to behold.

The gentle solo start hides the later explosive content beautifully, that morphs into a percussive lead opus, and the tantalising jazz styled piano enters this musical playground, but Fanek is not done there, he utilises the aforementioned percussive element and adds a symphonic, which in turn raises the piece to dizzying heights akin to a really good television theme.

Glass Half Empty is one of those tracks that you will find hard to press stop on; its power and fluency demands more attention, and each time you do continue you find more in the weave of this musical carpet of many tales to tell. For me this song is about choices, and as the rain falls outside, and drizzles down the window of the wine bar, one has a decision to make, is it going to be built on a glass half full or half empty, the choice is yours!

Glass Half Empty by Samer Fanek is another perfect step forward in the music career of the artist; I remember his work from its beginnings, his early inception into the world of the vast piano genre back in 2016, but in my opinion he has the makings of a huge talent about to make it big, and perhaps Glass Half Empty maybe one of the pieces of that beautifully textured musical jigsaw.
