Glenn Alexander, renowned for his guitar prowess with Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes and his diverse work across jazz, rock, and blues, has teamed up with his talented daughter, Oria, for a new single titled “Broken.”
The song itself, according to Glenn, is “the story of our lives,” written years ago but given new life through their recent collaboration. The inspiration behind the recording came from their good friend Brenda Russell’s song “Against The Law,” which influenced the direction they took. Oria’s vocal delivery carries an authenticity and maturity well beyond her years, and this collaboration with her father showcases the special ingredient that sets her apart in the music world.
Musically, “Broken” is a fusion of Glenn’s blues-rock influences and a more modern, introspective sound. His expertise as a guitarist is evident in every note, guiding the song through its emotional highs and lows. Glenn’s voice, much like his playing, is a reflection of his rich experience in the music world—gritty and soulful.
