Maggie Rogers - Surrender

[Mikal]

I feel sad that this album didn't really get its dues. Want Want is my #2 of the year and I think Surrender is my AOTY too. A massive artistic upgrade for her and a brilliant, no-skips* body of work.

*except you know what but we don't know her

 

[HeartSwells]

I’ve Got A Friend is an album highlight, sorry!!

My album of the year, too. It did well enough for her to keep touring and recording - that’s the important thing.

The new sound and look may have been a bit of a departure for her casuals, possibly. But it was a creative success - I love this Sheryl Crow chilling at Warhol’s Factory vibe.

I think the album is one of the more exciting releases of the year if simply due to Maggie really finding her lane. It doesn't all work for me but there's some of the year's best songs on Surrender.

I love her folktronica phase as well, so never had issue with Mags’ output.

 

[Babyface]

Happy Birthday to the album that turned me into a stan and made me see her twice on tour in 2019. Still incredibly bitter she’s not coming to Seattle on this tour but I digress…

 

[2014]

Both of her albums are so strong, I love her. Shatter and Honey from the new record are it right now.

Yes, happy birthday to Heard It in a Past Life! It is still one of my favourite albums. Also every Friday (i.e. music release day) that falls on the 18th feels so significant to me now, with all the releases that Maggie has had on the 18th.

Radio 1 seem to be playing the Shatter single a lot. Always great to hear her unexpectedly.

I saw on her IG story a few weeks ago it was A Listed on Radio 1! Had no idea it was getting that push

[Trouble in Paradise]

Shatter captures the MO of the album (especially the vocal choices) perfectly

 

[Babyface]

New collab coming next week.

Zsch is doing very well right now so I’m glad she’s getting this type of exposure. The full song leaked recently:

[Babyface]

Her 2nd (and highest) career Hot 100 entry.

 

[HairBodyFace]

I just saw her live and she was SO good. Her voice has gotten so big over the years, I was seriously impressed with her vocal stamina?? And she's such a fun performer.

My only gripe was no Overnight or Retrograde on the setlist which are two of my faves from her, but oh well. An unexpected highlight was her duet with Del Water Gap, the recorded version is cute but it gave me full goosebumps live.

 

[2014]

This album just keeps getting better and better for me, I'm already excited for so much more from her.

I've found myself returning to this again. I'm not quite sure why, but I'm really glad I gave it another listen. I'm hooked. I'm obsessed with the production on here. There's something about the piano flourishes that come through under the guitars that just gets me every time it happens on the album.

Yeah I randomly picked this album back up a couple weeks ago and it’s been on regular rotation since. Anywhere With You is a discography highlight.
