So exciting at nearly 60 years of age to witness the emergence of such a talented human being. The future looks very bright.

If she marries the wrong dude he will become the right dude. She is fierce!

[@77dris]

Check out Aurora from Norway, she's on another level. She has a way more interesting backstory, better voice (despite not having all the expensive schooling this girl has), better dancer, and her songs have way more depth (not boring folksy love songs) despite the fact she wrote most of them by age 9. Additionally, Weyes Blood is pretty spectacular, as is Aldous Harding (though she's a bit odd but more interesting than Maggie). There are some amazing new artists hidden out there, despite the hell on earth known as Tik Tok.

[@59markr]

@@77dris Totally agree. Aurora is a Norse fairy of the most mystical kind. Her music is utterly spellbinding.

I'm 48. I first came to know Maggie from the KZbin video with Pharrell Williams. I bought tickets to her first tour which was sold out. We rode from Vegas to San Diego to see her perform at a cute little church. Her opening act was Overcoat . The entire night was fantastic. Maggie was shy and seemed a little uneasy. I've followed her musical journey ever since. To see her now, she is comfortable and confident and yet still vulnerable. Congratulations Maggie.

[@MaddisunMusic]

Maggie moves me deeply as an artist and musician.

[@eliaxy]

awesome voice! just amazing! ❤

[@thegorn]

I know 40 and 50 year olds who connect with Maggie and her music. She cuts through generations. One of those "once in a generation" artists blossoming before our eyes. Am looking forward to what lies ahead for Maggie Rogers!!

[@theoporcet9767]

Damn this Strombo guy is so passionate, interested and asks the best questions. I randomly ran into him at an event but I didn't know much about his work, being new in Canada.. I wish I could meet him now, there's so much to discuss with this man!! Love him.

[@aldenharold2562]

this girl is the real deal. So refreshing over all the crap in today's world.

[@danman6669]

I love how she turns an upbeat, happy Whitney song into a morose, depressing song. It goes from being a confident song that could be sang by anyone who is popular and has little to no problem finding dates--yet still hasn't found that one "special" person--into a song that would fit in well with a lonely, depressed person who just can't seem to catch a break in meeting someone to complete him or her. Great job, Maggie. I am surprised that Whitney never sang it this way, though (at least to my knowledge she never did). The lyrics are so emo it hurts and I think Whitney could have done an amazing acoustic version like this herself. RIP Whitney.

[@justinh6509]

I just discovered Maggie recently. I'm blown away by her talent and her attitude towards life. I'm beyond excited to see where her journey takes her.

[@afterglowsunshine6820]

I love her personality so much, I’ve been following her since 2017 and she grew so much and this record is really cathartic yet free, I love Maggie

[@TheBella2u]

Have to say that out of everything the late 2000’s have brought is outstanding new music. Out of the ashes of today’s culture have emerged some of the most amazing mostly young people, many more females than previously and this should give us all hope for the future. Thanks George, as always excellent interview. ❤

I'm a fan. One observation: a young woman asking great questions and seeking the deeper things (soul, etc) and the charming naiveté that is normal for a young woman.

[@robotandgirl1170]

This week in Parallels of Maggie’s Life and Mine... I’ve been visiting Miami all my life. It’s the first place I travelled to when I was little... and Whitney’s ‘I Wanna Dance With Somebody’ was the first song that came on the car radio. Not only did it instantly become my first memory of Miami, but it captured all the emotions of being in a different city, a different country... Also, for some cosmic reason I can’t understand, everytime I’m in Miami I’ll hear it in some unexpected situation. Sometimes very in the forefront, sometimes in the background... but always there... And it’s always beautiful. It puts a smile on my face everytime and I always take a minute to enjoy my little inside joke with the Universe. Music is everything to me. Always has been, always will be. Thanks, Maggie, for helping me keep it that way! 🙏🏼

[@LeandroBordakevich]

The interviewer nailed it. So deep and genuinely interested.

Check out her performance with John Mayer on his instagram stories. Her joy playing with her band as the song was breaking is amazing. I'm a fan for sure and I'll check out more from Strombo as well. Thanks for this interview!

[@LucasViniciusdrawings]

She is a real angel

[@josiecameron4349]

Her version of Whitney's Damce with Somebody is so so good! Love you Maggie 🐞

[@chrispomfret8592]

The emotional intelligence of this woman is epically inspiring. Maggie is not afraid to look within and allow you to see her path of reasoning to articulation which is a refreshing revelation in itself. I just gut feel that Maggie’s super high level of observation just won’t diminish with her fame. Perhaps we will need to catch up to understand her as she grows though? Time will tell. I’m excited to watch this play out. I’m excited to see her empathy cut through in her work. The world will be better for Maggie doin her thing that’s for damn sure.

[@bleachstreak]

Thanks Maggie. Your music is food for my soul.

[@jennydavis6534]

Sooo….. I fell in love with Maggie when I saw her open for Mumford and Sons. It was love at first sight. Then I got to see her again, 7 days later, opening up for Mumford and Sons again front row, and then tried buying tickets for her solo tour but she is completely sold out!!! Then she drops "Back in my Body" and now this cover! I just love her. I am so excited to follow her on her journey and I feel so lucky that I did get to see her twice

[@katelynmaylee6633]

a few months ago as i was contemplating buying tickets to maggie's spring tour (the closest stop is 6 hrs from me), the thing that solidified my decision to go for it was seeing the blissful videos she posted to her instagram of the post-show dance party to 'i wanna dance with somebody.' so much pure joy and fun. needless to say, the cover in this video absolutely made my day and made me even more excited to dance with all the 'somebodies' after the show in april ;)

[@LisaLisa001]

[@matts5247]

I believe it. She is the only artist in country who knows how to write a damn song. Also, she tells stories like “Country” music is supposed to be. She is the only “musician” and authentic singer-songwriter in the genre right now. I stopped listening to what they call country when the only things distinguishing it from Pop were the tune of the instruments and the lyrics But I remember when I heard her breakout single merry go round and I thought to myself this is either going to be a one hit wonder or is going to be a modern day poppy tribute to real countryX

[@kipe5619]

Matthew Schwenker, your comment on KM being “the only artist in country who knows how to write a damn song” proves that your ears need rescuing. I encourage you to try listening to more artists who aren’t so mainstream, for example artists such as Sturgill Simpson, Colter Wall, Ian Noe, Cody Jinks, The Devil Makes Three, and Margo Price just to name a few.

[@blacksling9]

What I like about artists like Maggie is how real they are, I got into art when I was dressed down by my friend coolie Ranks we were at his then girlfriends art class exhibition at Columbia university. I found the art drab and uninspiring...but sitting quietly I observed my friends glee and joy even at those pieces I thought was pure garbage. Sk on our way out I ask if he was just being nice. He got quiet for what seem like forever, then he said...your art is ugly to some people too stop judging and learn to appreciate art and you will always see only the good that's there...I never see what you see he said, I just appreciate the effort. From that day all art touches me deeply. I say this to say like my friend, they always seem to bring us good rates because the see beyond the ugly. Like the guitar player.

[@mischa2643]

Not all art touches me deeply, but I appreciate most of it. Sometimes for what I see in it. Sometimes simply for what the artist put into it, because it’s not _for_ me. You’re not always the target of a piece, and I’ve never been _moved_ by a piece where that was the case, but the appreciation remains.
