Separating the Art from the Artist
Are you capable of appreciating artists despite sharing none of their beliefs or opposing them entirely?
For me, it's Maggie Rogers. On the surface, she embodies everything I loathe about modern female Pop. She's a progressive poster child who stumps for the Democratic Party, cites feminist theory like scripture and serenades a liberal middle class audience hellbent on transforming America into a political monoculture. This dissonance between her girl-next-door image on album with her high-class call girl Gala appearances also cannot be ignored. My inner Carl Schmitt demands the friend/enemy distinction, but I sheath my sword for her. Beneath the activism lies something rarer than ideological alignment: raw humanity.
Surrender sounds like a private journal blasted through stadium-sized hooks. Energetic and upbeat songs like "Shatter", "Want Want" and "Overdrive" hit with fuzzed adrenaline while "Be Cool" exhales into groove-cooled calm. Other songs like "Anywhere With You" and "Begging for Rain" drip with melancholy without being maudlin. Nothing stagnates; even the quiet tracks stay in motion.
Maggie's resonant purity inspires building futures or collapsing into into the arms of someone who loves you after a brutal day. All told, it may be the most unapologetically human album ever to breach Pop radio
