Maggie Rogers - Heard It In A Past Life (2019)

Reason for Listening:
The Spotify album radio for Circles played and the tracks by this artist caught my attention.

---

According to last.fm, the two tracks that played were "Alaska" and "Overnight", the second and seventh tracks to play in the radio, respectively. I stopped listening to the radio after the eleventh song. Then a couple of hours later, I listened to this album for the first time. However, prior to the aforementioned, last.fm tracked 21 scrobbles for the album in 2020 - most of these are associated to the Spotify album radio for LÉON.

The lyrics, sound, and pace of "Overnight" is beautiful. I love how the tension builds up to "I'm gone."
This song has a neat beat with lyrics that match it's punchy sound. But it's a bit much for my mood.

3: "Give a Little"; "Overnight"; "Alaska"; "Light On";
2: "Say It"; "On + Off"; "Fallingwater";
1: "The Knife"; "Burning";
0: "Past Life"; "Retrograde"; "Back In My Body";

Summary:
Although I liked certain songs more than others, the entire album was amazing. Intuitively, I'd give such a strong performing album a 5.2 out of 5. Another album I had a similar feeling towards is Punisher, which I also rated a 5.2 out of 5. Comparing how I rated songs across the two albums, I felt it appropriate to bump up the rating to a 5.4. I was tempted to give it a 5.6, especially because I gave LÉON a 5.4, but I decided to stick with a 5.4.

Overall Rating: 5.4/5
Favorite Song: can't decide
