In an era of excess and endless distraction, the New York-based singer/songwriter Margaret Glaspy rejects the noise in favor of something far more essential. On the self-possessed title track for her new album I Am Both Glaspy offers an ardent refusal of any outside pressure to compromise her multidimensionality.“Iwrote‘IAm Both’ a while ago; the story is based on a female character that I look up to deeply—a woman who contains multitudes while seeing reality very clearly,” says Glaspy.“Itcan feel safer to try to fit myself into a category, but I find that embracing my own complexity is much healthier for me.” That embrace of complexity runs throughout the album’s eleven tracks.
In the making of I Am Both Glaspy stepped away from social media and soon discovered a clarity of mind she hadn’t experienced in years, followed by a sustained burst of creative momentum. As she penned her lyrics in longhand and then polished them up on a typewriter, Glaspy assembled a selection of songs that span from fictional vignettes to unguarded self- revelation to empathetic observation of the troubled world around her.

Absolutely brilliant! One of those experiences that helps explain an already superb album by an obviously talented young woman all the more and for the better. Live music is always a transparent experience and this event was a joy to attend
I will definitely add her to my Song Kick app to hopefully see again someday ... If you get the chance then do indulge
