After graduating from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, Maggie Rogers released her critically acclaimed debut EP, 'Now That The Light Is Fading'. The acclaimed producer/songwriter/performer now releases major label debut album: ‘Heard It In A Past Life’. The album includes the song that introduced Rogers to the world, “Alaska,” which has accrued over 100 million global combined streams to date. ‘Heard It In A Past Life’ also contains the follow-up singles “Fallingwater,” praised by NPR as “a celebration of the terrifying yet thrilling process of change” and “Give A Little,” which Pitchfork hailed as “cathartic pop song about empathy and unity.”; as well as newest single “Light On”, as seen on Saturday Night Live - November 3rd.

Lots to like and much to love
There is a lot to like and much to love on this debut album. Maggie's haunting, wistful voice and fragile harmonies drift over and through this collection of songs underpinned by electronic beats and synthesised sounds. Old favourites Alaska and On + Off are reprised from the 2017 EP Now that the Light is Fading and are joined by ten new songs. Give a Little, Light On and the anthemic Back in My Body are particularly strong but Fallingwater is exceptional. This isn't a perfect debut but it is very, very good.

Excellent debut album
The signature bit is neither here not there but I like that kind of thing but it's not why I bought this album. I listen to wfuv radio via streaming and heard Maggie on there and then found out about the infamous Farrell link afterwards. Anyway it's a very good album with proper singing as opposed to some of the whoops and screeches we get from others recently and just hope that the new song a week merry-go-round that is the current music eco system doesn't chew Maggie up before she's had chance to establish herself as a worldwide name. In 4 or 5 albums time and the right collaborations and the odd hit she could approach Joni Mitchell's longevity (who h will undoubtedly be compared to) but even half the success would be amazing. Interesting name to watch. Yet to see how the live performances are.

Stunning
Another amazing release from Maggie.Favourite songs:* Overnight* On + Off* Say ItIf you're in to Anna of the North, The Aces or Kate Bush I think you would like Maggie, but either way you should definitely give her a chance!Also, if you liked her EP Now That The Light Is Fading or just saw her video with Pharrell, you'll like "Overnight". :)

She's out of the shadows now.
Bought this as I'd heard her EP and bought that. A great debut album with good, well crafted songs. Leaving Alaska aside I find Light On to be probably the strongest song on the album. The rest are still good listening. This is an artist who is going to go from strength to strength. She has a style that goes back to the late 80s and 90s. Well impressed.

Brilliant Album
Bought this debut album by Maggie Rogers as I have followed her for 2 1/2 yrs now. She is a brilliant up and coming young singer / songwriter and this her debut full album didn't dissapoint.

Good album, uninteresting autograph!
Loving the album, but as has been mentioned the autograph is lazy and uninteresting to say the least. However if that’s how Maggie signs things then so be it!
