‘Dog Years’ is the latest offering from 22-year-old NY resident Maggie Rogers. Her last song ‘Alaska’ bowled Pharrell over on a now-famous YouTube video. The follow-up plays to her strengths: minimal yet rich synths, canny production and folky harmonies (albeit with more of a contemporary R&B feel). Like ‘Alaska’ it carries a melancholic and nostalgic sentiment. Maggie Rogers is proving to be more than just a flash in the voluminous content pan.
