Breaking Glass is the debut album by English singer Hazel O'Connor, released in 1980 by A&M Records.

[8] Reviewing the album for Record Mirror, Simon Ludgate wrote "See the film before you buy this soundtrack and it'll make far more sense.

Hazel has a peculiar singing technique which involves gulping air in a lot and opening your mouth as wide as possible.

"[5] Reviewing for Smash Hits, Red Starr described it as an "utterly uninteresting and thoroughly unconvincing soundtrack album.

Whatever Ms. O'Connor's true talents, they certainly do not include songwriting (here a relentless series of embarrassing obvious lyrical cliches with no real gift for melody) or singing (bad Lene Lovich impersonations being of distinctly limited appeal).
