Self-described “witchy feminist rockstar” Maggie Rogers is hitting the road again.
I discovered Rogers by chance in early 2019, shortly after her first studio album, “Heard It in a Past Life” came out. Since then, Rogers has released two albums, “Notes from the Archive: Recordings 2011–2016” (2020) and “Surrender” (2022). During this time, I have grappled with simultaneously wanting to gate-keep Roger’s musical genius and impose it on all of my family, friends and acquaintances.

In the TikTok era of music, artists have less than 15 seconds to hook an audience with a catchy enough song to keep them interested. Independent artist and producer from Los Angeles, Alex Sloane, is one of the artists utilizing the platform to reach an audience. Her recently released EP, “Dear Diary,” features self-produced songs that combine dreamy pop vocals with 8-bit-inspired beats. Sloane’s TikTok and Instagram feeds showcase clips of her writing in her diary, lounging in her heart-shaped bed, or going on earmuffed hot girl walks while her most popular hits play. Sloane is currently featured on two Spotify-curated playlists, “Fresh Finds Pop” and “Dope AF” (featuring TikTok star Bella Poarch on its cover).

Taylor Swift released “Fearless (Taylor’s Version)” (“TV”) April 9, a re-recording of her 2008 album “Fearless.” The release is the first in a series of planned re-recordings of Swift’s first six albums. This follows a highly publicized battle over the ownerships of the albums, which were acquired by talent manager Scooter Braun as part of an acquisition with Big Machine Records, Swift’s former label.
As Twitter user @jishnu_bandu so eloquently put it, in the era of COVID-19, in some of the dimmest of times in recent history, one must remember: “As you binge watched your thirteenth entire series, or read a book, or sleep to music, remember. Remember that in the darkest days, when everything stopped, you turned to artists.” This is true. We have all become heavy, gluttonous consumers of all forms of media.
