In an era of excess and endless distraction, New York-based singer/songwriter Margaret Glaspy rejects the noise in favor of something far more essential. On the self-possessed title track of her new album, I Am Both, Glaspy offers an ardent refusal of any outside pressure to compromise her multidimensionality. “I wrote I Am 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. “It can 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. She penned lyrics in longhand and polished them up on a typewriter, assembling a selection of songs spanning from fictional vignettes to unguarded self-revelation to empathetic observation of the troubled world around her. Produced by Joe Henry (three-time Grammy-winning singer/songwriter/producer known for working with artists like Aimee Mann and Joan Baez), I Am Both ultimately stands as a striking new statement from one of the modern music canon’s most formidable songwriters.
“When I started writing for this record I had a goal of getting my practice back—to walk the walk in terms of how I envision myself as a songwriter,” says Glaspy, a Northern California-bred artist who made her debut with 2016’s lavishly acclaimed Emotions and Math. “At first it was really hard to break that addiction to social media, but after a while something shifted. It felt like I’d gotten back to original thought instead of being under the influence of so many outside opinions. It was life-changing.”
The album emerged from three days of sessions at NYC’s Reservoir Studios, where Glaspy recorded live with drummer/percussionist Jay Bellerose (Bonnie Raitt, Robert Plant, Alison Krauss, Waits, Bruce Springsteen), and bassist Ross Gallagher (Paula Cole, Grails). “I always think of myself as more of a photographer than a sculptor in the studio—it’s about capturing the moment rather than layering and building things up over time, and Joe has a similar mentality when it comes to recording,” says Glaspy, who first connected with Henry at a T Bone Burnett-curated tribute to Bob Dylan at NYC’s Town Hall in 2022. “There was an incredible chemistry with the band and the whole process felt electric, so a lot of what you hear on the album is the first take.”
I Am Both brings Glaspy’s disarmingly direct vocals and eloquent guitar work to a cathartic form of folk-leaning indie-rock. Throughout I Am Both, Glaspy reveals one of the more thrilling outcomes of deepening her creative practice: a commitment to following her own internal logic when structuring songs.
