Margaret Glaspy is releasing a new album, “I Am Both”, this Friday via ATO. She has shared the album’s third single, “Reminder,” as well as a live performance video for the song.
Glaspy had this to say about the song in a press release: “That song’s a message to myself for when it feels like I’m doing nothing of value, reminding me that it’s important to keep showing up in lots of little ways instead of giving up altogether. It’s an example of something I never would’ve written if I were still praying to the gods who told me everything needs to be neat and tidy and symmetrical.”
Previously Glaspy shared “I Am Both’s” first single, “Michigan,” as well as a live performance video for the song. “Michigan” .Then she shared its second single, “That Rose,” as well as a live performance video for the song.
“I Am Both” follows Glaspy’s 2023 album, “Echo the Diamond” as well as her 2024 EP, “The Sun Doesn’t Think”, and her 2025 EP, “The Golden Heart Protector”.
Joe Henry (Aimee Mann, Joan Baez) produced “I Am Both”. Glaspy wrote the album longhand and on a typewriter.
“I wrote the title track 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.”
She adds: “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. 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.
