New York singer/songwriter Margaret Glaspy has announced her sophomore record Devotion with the lead single “Stay With Me.” Glaspy’s soaring vocals narrate an all-too-familiar story — the longing feeling that arises after someone important leaves.
“Stay With Me” boasts playful guitar picking over the Glaspy’s urgent and earnest vocals. “I’m learning that life is painful but you take the bad with the good,” Glaspy said in a statement. “That love is hard but if you love someone, you make yourself available; that life is short and it’s okay to be sincere.”
Devotion arrives after nearly three years of traveling on the road in support of her debut record Emotions And Math. On the new record, Glaspy summarizes all she’s learned from her time spent away from home. “This record is very different from the last. It’s not about being righteous or all-knowing, it’s about letting love in even when you don’t know what will happen when you do,” Glaspy said. “It’s about devoting your heart to someone or something, against all odds.“
