Maggie Rogers released her sophomore album, "Surrender," on Friday.
Rogers rose to prominence as a New York University student with a singular folk sound. Three years after her well-received debut, the 28-year-old singer-songwriter has returned with a bigger, bolder version of her signature self-reflection that she described as "joy with teeth."
Insider's music team (senior reporter Callie Ahlgrim and senior editor Courteney Larocca) listened to the new album on our own, jotting down our initial thoughts track by track.
Here is what we thought of each song on "Surrender" upon first listen. (Skip to the end to see the only songs worth listening to and the album's final score.)
