Maggie Rogers\u2019 melodic voice enchants many of the album\u2019s tracks, while tranquil sounds retain the style that garnered her instant potential in a viral video from 2016. The soft indie pop style shouldn\u2019t come as a surprise: the production is wonderfully backed by Greg Kurstin, who\u2019s contributed to adult contemporary works like Adele\u2019s <em>25<\/em>. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rogers is known more for the mellow nature of her music than roof-raising anthems, but her debut<em> <\/em>begins with the vibrant \u201cGive a Little\u201d. The songwriter details mankind\u2019s divisiveness preceding one of the album\u2019s most memorable hooks. The LP also includes a pair of songs from her 2017 EP <em>Now That the Light Is Fading<\/em>, including the one that made her a viral hit, \u201cAlaska\u201d. Despite being more than 2 years old, its serene, folksy sound and gentle vocals earn its place as Rogers\u2019 flagship tune. The other from that prior release, \u201cOn + Off\u201d, brought Rogers more towards the border of art pop with its whimsical hook.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the 24-year-old went viral after Pharrell Williams praised her song at an NYU masterclass session, her transition into the limelight began. \u201cLight On\u201d channels the overwhelming process of an unknown aware of the world she was leaving behind. Her singing hits an emotional point when she quotes peers demanding she \u201cshould be so happy now\u201d with a wailing vocal crack as though she\u2019s fighting to hold back tears. This is a major theme from artists as young as the Maryland singer\/songwriter, so the LP isn\u2019t exactly lyrically original. Regardless, more of the whirling synths also help win over the track. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cleverness of the record\u2019s title is embraced thanks to the piano-driven \u201cPast Life\u201d. Rogers knows she isn\u2019t the same woman from before she was a name, and the tracklist reflects on her shift from the \u201cpast life\u201d, a term that even matches with the spiritual tone sonically.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFallingwater\u201d adds more of the nature references prevalent across Rogers\u2019 words. She logs troubles from her rapid jump from college student to pop star by announcing \u201cAnd now I&#8217;m in the creek\/And it&#8217;s getting harder\/I&#8217;m like falling water\u201d. It\u2019s lyrics like this that drive the narrative, and her songwriting is more poetic than practical. That\u2019s not entirely a bad thing, but the tale of this artist admitting her naivety could\u2019ve been further developed. The clangy percussion here and on tracks like \u201cBurning\u201d and \u201cThe Knife\u201d complement the elsewhere lo-fi noises nicely.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rogers has some smart lyric drops here and there, but it&#8217;s clear her warming vocals and smooth instrumentation guide the debut. Her music has steadily gotten more poppy ever since \u201cAlaska\u201d, but <em>Heard It in a Past Life <\/em>successfully slides into the indie pop canon.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SCAD Radio rates it an 8.3\/10.<br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Indie pop\u2019s rising star sings about the journey through her world morphing around increasing fame on Heard It in a Past Life.
