Margaret Glaspy’s fourth album, I Am Both, emerged from a conscious step away from distraction and a renewed focus on songwriting. After leaving social media behind, Glaspy found a fresh sense of purpose that fuelled a prolific creative period, writing lyrics by hand before refining them on a typewriter. The resulting songs move between imagined narratives, personal reflection and thoughtful observations of the world around her, showcasing the direct and distinctive songwriting that has defined her work. Produced by Joe Henry, I Am Both is a confident and deeply considered collection that highlights Glaspy’s ability to combine intimacy, insight and craft.
