Raw and ready, Margaret Glaspy’s ‘Emotions and Math’ is an unexpected earworm. Its slacker vibe loosely masks an seriously well-honed sound which Glaspy has been developing for several years since relocating to the east coast of the US from her native California. “I’ve always considered myself a free spirit, someone who goes with the flow, but actually I’m not exactly like that,” she said. “This record really taught me that I’m super analytical and process-driven. I really do think they go together, emotions and math. Nobody is just one thing.” The song is taken from the album of the same name, due out on June 17th.
