Funny how an artist like this could escape our attention from August of 2017 (NPR Tiny Desk concert) to now (see today, June 14, 2021). You may already know this artist. Some beat us to the punch. Thanks again to the not-so-random YouTube algorithms, the math that adds, Boygenius to Olivia Rodrigo giving us Maggie Rogers. According to the Google actuarial wizards, you kept us waiting this long so Maggie could amass a net worth of 3MM. Well, never too late for Cool Media, LLC music scouts for talent as magnificent as Maggie Rogers. One view of the Falling Waters SNL official video should be sufficient. Anyone not moved may decide to move on to another website with our fond farewells.

Now at the end of 2022 and the beginning of 2023, we meet Maggie again on Instagram and notice that she has shed most of her long hair for a very chic and fetching pixie cut. While making her new release Surrender, Rogers (now a Harvard University master’s graduate) spent time exploring the existential concept of surrendering to inner truth and wisdom. 

We heard what Pharrell noticed at NYU when he spent a week mentoring students like the precocious, Maggie Rogers. Alaska was the demo track, that Pharrell listened to with Maggie in the NYU music studio. Here is a sample of their early interaction.

Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II Headphone

This wireless Bluetooth model from Bose delivers very good sound quality and active noise reduction, combining elements of in-ear and earbud earphones. These earphones have an isolating design and an ambient sound monitoring feature; they will provide some muffling and electronic canceling of external noises and reduce the amount of sound that escapes from the earpieces. As such, they are best for those who want highly portable earphones that reduce the noise they hear from their surroundings or don’t want the sound from the earpieces to disturb others.
