On the self-possessed titletrack for her new album I Am Both Glaspy offers an ardent refusal of any outside pressure tocompromise her multidimensionality. “I wrote ‘I Am Both’ a while ago; the story is based on afemale character that I look up to deeply—a woman who contains multitudes while seeing realityvery clearly,” says Glaspy. “It can feel safer to try to fit myself into a category, but I find thatembracing my own complexity is much healthier for me.” That embrace of complexity runsthroughout the album’s eleven tracks.In the making of I Am Both Glaspy stepped away from social media and soon discovered aclarity of mind she hadn’t experienced in years, followed by a sustained burst of creativemomentum. 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. Produced by Joe Henry(the three-time Grammy-winning singer/songwriter/producer known for his work with luminarieslike Aimee Mann and Joan Baez), I Am Both ultimately stands as a striking new statement fromone 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 walkin terms of how I envision myself as a songwriter,” says Glaspy, a Northern California-bred artistwho made her debut with 2016’s lavishly acclaimed Emotions and Math. “At first it was reallyhard to break that addiction to social media, but after a while something shifted. It felt like I’dgotten back to original thought instead of being under the influence of so many outside opinions.It was life-changing.”Her fourth full-length album, I Am Both emerge
