Mar 27, 2020Glaspy doesn’t tear down so much expand and build upon the warm Seventies folk-rock of her wonderful 2016 debut Emotions + Math, incorporating drum loops and processed vocals into an effortless mix of swooping indie-pop (“Without Him”), industrial noise (“What’s the Point”) and Ben Folds-piano sing-alongs (“Vicious”).

Mar 27, 2020Margaret still sounds the most at home with her string instruments, but her foray into experimenting with electronic music has paid off.
-
Mar 27, 2020Building on a well-received debut, and taking a bold step in a new direction. It’s an impressive feat that Glaspy manages to do both at once.

Apr 28, 2020Devotion arrived on the wake of her innovative predecessors, but isn’t quite anthemic enough to rise to the top. The album nonetheless illuminates another side of Glaspy and still captures her tact for normalizing particular personal emotion.
-
Mar 27, 2020Glaspy has more or less tamped down her previously distracting vocal affectations in favor of a more sonorous style that really suits the material. Overall, she adds a handful of unique entries into the love song canon while pushing her own body of work forward.

Mar 31, 2020Devotion is not a disaster, but the chasm between ambition and execution feels vast. The new ideas are ill-fitting, when they’re not derivative from the start. Beneath the processing, the album’s best moments sound oddly like a less polished version of Emotions & Math.
