Margaret Glaspy has announced a new album called I Am Both. The follow-up to the New York-based singer-songwriter’s 2023 record Echo the Diamond is due August 7 via ATO. Today’s announcement comes with the release of the poignant, clear-eyed ‘Michigan’. Check out director Ricky Chavez’s video for it below.
“I was in Michigan a couple years back and had a really beautiful time, and thought about how New Yorkers sometimes fantasize about the countryside as a retreat from the intensity of the city,” Glaspy saiid of the new single. “It turned into a song about someone going through a bad breakup, and then deciding to just leave the city behind.”
“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,” Glaspy reflected. “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.”
