POP MUSIC’S


NEW SOUND


MAGGIE ROGERS | 25


By Camila Mendes


My favorite memory of Maggie


Rogers from our time at New York


University was a conversation we


had about musicians. I could tell


she was intuitively creative and


intensely intelligent, and when


I searched her music online a


few days later, I was blown away


by the sound. From the very


beginning, her talent sent chills


down your spine.


Our strongest bond was forged

toward the end of college, when


both our careers were taking


off at dizzying speed. The most


challenging obstacle of newfound


success is navigating creative


integrity in the early stages of


your career. I am continuously


impressed by Maggie’s ability


to maintain authentic artistry


within the pop-music sphere.


She created her own sound, and


I know she had to fight for it.


I admire her for reaching

this point in her career without


sacrificing her vision. She’s not


only an exceptional singer, she’s


also an exceptional artist, and


it shows.


Mendes is an actor who stars on
