As this sound attempts to match her energy, it generates a sort of physicality to her music, one comprised of hard-hitting sounds that induce a physical, visceral reaction when listening - like a pounding, satisfyingly intense buzz reverberating around the inside of your skull. As she explores the depths of her own unbridled desire, she introduces vibrant new sounds on “ Want Want,” which features heavy levels of distortion and drums. She isn’t just saying how she feels, she’s inviting you to feel it too.
The thing is, Rogers isn’t just interested in conveying such intensity, but injecting it into the lifeblood of the listening experience itself. Much of Surrender is centered around the feelings that can seem too strong or powerful for words alone: blinding, emotionally supercharged moments of joy or rage too big for a singular body to contain. Returning with a sophomore album and a Master’s thesis of the same name, Surrender, Rogers enlisted her musical talents to ask the big questions within self-assured, energetic pop numbers. After the success of her viral hit “ Alaska” and a compilation album titled Notes From The Archive: Recordings from 2011-2016, consisting of demos and unreleased recordings, her next career venture certainly wasn’t your typical pop star move: enrolling in Harvard Divinity School. Her debut album, Heard It In a Past Life, was flooded with ethereal imagery in regards to the body (“ Back In My Body”) and the soul (“ Past Life”), electronic beats grounded in the sounds of nature and a folksy spirit. Maggie Rogers has always had a rather spiritual undertone to her music.
