“Today’s pop stars grow up fast. Look at Sigrid selling out Brixton Academy without dropping an album, or Troye Sivan, who performed with Taylor Swift last year after she fell in love with his early EP ‘Trxye’. Then there’s Maggie Rogers, a 24-year old singer and producer from rural Maryland, whose rapid rise to fame came she detonated Pharrell Williams’ mind with her starry-eyed, folk-tronica bang”
“In a way, Maggie Rogers is the exemplary model of a modern pop star. Her success story is one that’s exclusive to our times, when the Internet has the power to make moguls out of memes overnight. But Rogers is no Mason Ramsey: Her story begins not with a Walmart yodel, but with an unbelievably perfect demo, played for Pharrell Williams during a songwriting masterclass at New York University in 201”
“Three years after an encounter with Pharrell turned her into a viral phenomenon, the accidental star finally delivers her debut album, but her talents are eclipsed by overproduction.”
“Maggie Rogers' debut studio album doesn't have much in the way of memorable songwriting or a distinctive voice.”
