Singer-songwriter Margaret Glaspy is happy to announce the forthcoming release of a new single “Love Is Real” b/w “Heart Shape” out on March 29.  Today she drops the A-side, a song that serves as the perfect ode to love.  The track’s sublime guitar melds seamlessly with her haunting vocals for the song which will surely resonate both on Valentines Day and throughout the year.  Margaret shares, “For the last 3 years, I’ve been humming this song. What you hear now is a voice memo of myself and Julian Lage playing it in our Brooklyn laundry room put to a string arrangement recorded at Sonic Ranch Studios in Texas.”

“This song has taken on many different meanings and in my mind it has been directed toward different people. In the end, I think I needed to hear this song the most to remember that love is real and that I belong. For all of the heartache that life brings, there is infinite love. Now, maybe it can be a reminder for someone else.”
