that "so.....what's your name again?" = the start of something great.
Mean Vaseline she appeared on his radio show after
Definitely
I said the same thing as soon as I heard him say that. That alone, holds so much value its crazy. Its solidifying the discovery of a gem no one knows yet. I like lorde and lana del ray, but i think i love maggie rogers.
yes exactly what I thought at that moment. what an HONOR!!! He had to get her name! 👏👏
This Song was played over 60 Million times by now on spotify.
Pharrell starts to relax when he realises he's not the only star in the room
Love this observation 👑
Maggie Rogers: "We'll see if I'm successful."
GRAMMY TIME MAGGGGIIIIIEEEEE
wtf is a grammy
ksks djjd really?
SUCCESS IS DOInG SOMETHING GOOD. THATS THE REAL SUCCESS ....GRAMMY AWARDS ETC IS A DIFFERENT KIND OF SUCCESS, VALID TOO BUT NOT THE MAIN ONE. .
@@ksksdjjd2254 it’s like the super bowl ring or oscar of music, bagging grammy’s is a clout mechanism fasho but it’s nice to be introduced as “grammy winner”
cringe🤣🤣🤣🤣
imagine missing class that day
shut yo fatass up
People pursuing their passion tend to attend class
@@greenlotuskid or they get sick, death in the family. Things like that occur.
They knew he was coming
BRO YOU SHOULD HAVE GONE TO SCHOOL YESTERDAY PHARRELL VISITED AND REACTED TO OUR MUSIC
Maggie completely changed the flow of this seminar. After her performance, Pharrel finally opened up. You can tell he was speechless.
Yeah you can tell he knew at that moment he didn’t have to try to like it hahahah. The other songs were good but they were missing something
Everything sounded relatable for everyone else, so he was able to give production tips because he knew how they wanted their songs to sound like. With Maggie, he can't tell her how her production should sound because she was in her own lane
@@Marceles45 I totally agree with you.. it's not that the other artist necessary where trying to make something that sounded comparable to another artist work, but they where just heavily influenced by people they have looked to. the other artists I think were more technical but with Maggie she came from something super spiritual and so she was able to depict that with her music.
I think you need to look up the meaning of "speechless" !
@@Marceles45 Thats a good observation right there my man.
Whoever that teacher is; that guy is the real rockstar. The silent rock who selflessly nurtures all that talent.
Agreed
His name is Bob Power, a great recording engineer, producer and obviously a great teacher too. Look up his name, he has worked with all the greats such as Tribe Called Quest, Erykah Badu, The Roots or Meshell Ndegeocello.
pharoah well he is amazing! It really shows
Bob power - hands down the best sounding engineer in the history...hear meshell ngeocollo
He is a VERY BIG Guy in the industry LOL
The way she is genuinely surprised breaks me up man. She just made something from the heart, not thinking about being big or anything. She just did what she liked, no pretenses. Amazing
I agree. He was making the "that's just nasty" look. Haha. I was doing the same thing. Such unique talent and this was 4 years ago?!? Mind blowing.
Crazy confidence in her
Thats where the good stuff comes from. Game recognizes game
oh please
Pharrell smelling that grammy nomination is a big mood
MAGGIE IS THE BOMB UGH LOVE HER
+Chris Klemens anyone know the song of her?
OMG WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!!! I LOVE YOU
is that the chick from like 19-22? cause her song is really freaking amazing!
SAME DUDE
LEGENDS SUPPORTING LEGENDS
U know after Pharrell basically said "I want you all to be more like her" Maggie became the most hated person in tisch
wooow really?
Does she care though?
Luc P. I hope not. Artists should just be in awe acknowledging someones creativeness and supporting it.
Not that deep y'all
@@aceaquigg8141 I don't know her, but what I can tell is she's in her own world and you'll either join her there or go do something else and she'll be fine with it. I felt her music the most. A little Joni...but today!
For those who didn't know, Bob Power (the teacher) was the engineer that Tip picked for the Low End Theory mixing work, Pharrell said before that the Low End Theory was the album that inspire him to start making music, so yeah, Bob is a pretty important piece.
man it's always the "do you know who he is???" that Pharrell says before the whole thing starts that gets me lol
@@josiah566 “She talked to my mother and she gave him $100 bucks” 😂
I did not realize who that was. He’s done some amazing work wow. Much respect and it makes sense why he thought so highly big Maggie and her background. I feel like Maggie didn’t really go intimate background like he wanted her to but all around great show and shout out to Bob. Awesome!
You can hear Tip ask him on the album "Bob Power, you there? Yeah"
I love how Maggie head bobs to her music with such confidence that I didn't really see with the first three musicians. I love when Pharrell hears Maggie''s voice and his eyebrows lift and he cannot hide the emotion he's feeling. Special moment.
this might be too late to reply but i remember maggie said she was trying to balance looking like she enjoys her own music but not too much lol. she would've bopped harder but she was holding back.
@@jurinaissancethat’s exactly what I picked up on
@@jurinaissance yesss I love that first moment when Pharrell hears her vocals come in and his eyebrows go up just a bit like 'damn'. And then progressively his face becomes more reflective of the sentiment of 'this is ridiculously good'.
I loved Maggie’s face when Pharrel just said “I have zero notes for that”. She looked so shocked hahaha. Love this girl so much.
Maggie performed at Coachella this year. Pretty cool
She's nasty with it, for real!
it was incredible to be in that crowd! I skipped seeing Bad Bunny to see her and don’t regret it one bit!! The outpouring of love from the crowd to her, her humbleness and openness, her music live!! omg such an experience I will always remember!
@@rachelthomas5993 I’ll never forget it
@@rachelthomas5993 see I did the opposite,… after she sang “Say It” (WHICH I CRIED CUZ IT WAS SO DAMN BEAUTIFUL) I left with the group I was with ….😔💔
@@erickapanayi5630 no way! I’m so sorry! I’ve gotten really comfy with making my own plans! Me and my girls (who went to bad bunny) picked out a sculpture to meet at after the shows.
only do that with people you trust though. If I didn’t show up my friends would still be there today waiting for me lol.
Pharrell: I have zero zero zero notes for that...
Rest of the class: Aight, I’m out
Nah fr I'd be heated if I was another kid in the class. Like aight there goes my once in a lifetime chance.
@@MMCLLC7 Bleh, everyday is a day and a chance or whatever. Creativity and authenticity will often be rewarded. Most people are just followers.
@@MMCLLC7 Does jealousy or regret get anyone anywhere good?
@@joshua9448 Agree. But, jealousy can be very healthy and positive, if the focus of that feeling is not geared towards another individual, rather used as a tool to learn from and motivate oneself. Regret is a word for quitters. You can never stop being, a student of the game.
but the Wu tang reference!!! menn that's dopeee! at the end, wish all of them success!!
And that woman is now a grammy nominated artist.
tytytytyty is she? Wtf
@@cristiansoria3000 yes
That’s amazing ! Did she won ?
@@youmatandia4111 No she lost to Billy Eye Lash
WHO?!
I feel like the others lack experience not in music but in life. You can tell that Maggie had a spiritual awakening in her music which then sparked her creativity. That’s the difference. Sometimes you got to put down the paper and pin, instruments, and go soul searching. Great song Maggie Rogers
Well said, man. There's so many of us who love music and love playing but have yet to find ourselves and what we want. And if you haven't found yourself, you're passion, then you're bound to mostly mimic your idols.
I've only ever had 2 great songwriting spurts in my 18 years of playing music. The rest has been fun but not really having that spark. I'm looking forward to my 3rd spurt. I know I just need to live more life to have a reason to express myself. Not just playing to play or writing to write.
I love it I think this is important
Pen
@@roseancunningham6698 Thank heavens you wrote that. I mean I was sitting there thinking, "why are these folks responding in English to this young Danish fellow?" I mean it was just a bunch of gibberish until you offered your services.
Word that is so true....
What’s in Pharrell’s head as he hears Maggie Rogers’ “Alaska”.
20:49 - That voice came from you?
20:53 - Not bad…
21:00 - Yeah, this is a thing.
21:11 - Right in the feels (he’s holding back a tear here).
21:21 - You dun right, teach.
21:25 - Wait, what?!? It gets better?
21:28 - OK, seriously. WTF.
21:33 - Don’t cry in front of the kids… Don’t cry in front of the kids.
21:41 - DROP OUTTA NOWHERE!
21:54 - Ok, just gonna jam a little bit here. This is some wicked s#!t here, you know that right?
21:56 - Maggie chuckles. She knows.
22:01 - Aight. Round 2. Gotta enjoy this…
22:07 - Just a little knee bounce. Keep it chill.
22:14 - S#!t’s crazy, man.
22:19 - Teach, you know this is legit, right?
22:22 - “Crazy.”
22:32 - Fine. It’s good. It’s great. It’s amazing. Just a little head bob. NBD.
22:45 - Oh, there’s words here? And they’re good? It’s a story? Wut.
22:54 - Ears open, brain’s flyin’ around. Should I wait a year to work with her, or ask after class?
23:03 - I’m thinking Grammys, not sure what my legs are doing.
23:23 - Counting stacks.
23:39 - It took me until I was 35 before I started doing stuff like this…
23:40 - “Wow.”
who else clicked on every time stamp to see if the facial expressions matched? lol
best comment ever lol
lmao nice comments
If you think Pharrell started making music when he was 35, check out The Neptunes and look at how many #1's they produced. Pharrell has been in the game for a long time
upotheke 23:40 should be "Wow... I want a Reese's peanut butter cup"
That is the most terrifying seat one could possibly sit in. Artists bare their souls everyday for the world to see. It is so fucking terrifying, I could barely get through this video. Courage is everything. So much respect for all those that let the world critique them, their processes and their product. I need to garner this kind of courage.
And you will if not already did!!
Omg right?! Same girl, SAME. I get exactly what youre saying...i mean really tho... Exactly. & Tbh yeah. it really kind of is lowkey terrifying/nerve wracking af even just watching this from my own bedroom! Lol. Im over here totally getting nervous for them. Smh...we both seriously need to get over that shit tho asap. If we honestly expect to achieve the impossible... (& by that i mean make it in the music industry) dont worry its the same struggle when it comes to me personally too. Cuz if im 100% honest with myself, i know in my heart that there is SOO much i want to do....more music to write/songs i desperately want to record & release publicly & just, u know, creativity in general, that ive still yet to feel couragous enough to unleash upon the world. Lol. Im laughing but im serious too. Theres soo much more that i desperately want to share, create, accomplish, do & BE music wise....so much that i know im capable of, & that i still (somewhat secretly) want the world to hear & want people to see me create & perform...and im just scared to just go out there & fkn DO it! Its really hard. Its scary enough for me to upload a new video to you tube when i finish writing a new song! Ffs... 😭 i want a career for myself in music soo bad i can fkn taste it! & plz dont take this wrong, cuz im not trying to brag, i just dont know any other way to put this....but, i def have talent. Everytime i play one of my original songs for someone who hasnt heard me play yet they all say the same thing. "Omg Youre so good! Why arent you doing something with your talent? You know the only thing holding you back is you, right?" Like, wow...ok, thanks alot! How tf am i supposed to get out of my OWN way tho!? Nobody ever seems to have an answer for that...& i honestly dont know wtf to do.
The worst fkn part is im turning 36 this year...which ok, lets be honest, is way too fkn old to "make it" now. i really hate so much to say this but its prob not gonna happen for me this time around. (Sigh....) Maybe next lifetime i guess...
😪😔😞
Hypnotic♋Harmonic bloody hell girl, you’re talented. I just listened to your song, it’s beautiful ❤️. Im in same boat, 34. Feel so old. But hey, there’s no fixed blueprint, we gotta remember this 💚 x
@@anoushadewan Wait, what...? 😮You actually listened to my song without me having to beg you to? & you LIKED it? 😍 Holy sh*t.1st of all, THANK YOUUU Soo much....🙏 thats pretty damn awesome of you. Seriously tho. 💗
& 2nd...you know what girl? I think you might literally be one of the coolest fkn people i ever met before on you tube. Like, Ever....
Yeah...actually, you def ARE. Yep. So its official then. Youre rad AF & If anyone ever tries to get
you to compromise who you are for any ridiculous/nefarious reason at all, i sincerely hope that youll tell them to F*CK THE HELL OFF...
(TWICE🤘😉2x!) Lol. And if you dont want to, then i hope youll at least consider allowing me to do so on your behalf. 😬 the kind of people who exist purely to spread negativity shouldnt be trusted with your dry cleaning, let alone your 💗 👌😏
And finally onto My 3rd point; omg! its nice to meet another aspiring singer/songwriter/musician?? (im assuming here...plz feel free to correct me if im wrong) who actually knows how scary it is to chase your dreams into your 30's..cuz tbh this shit hits differently after 30 imo. & i swear to god if i had to hear one more kid whining on (unrelatably) about how 23 is "getting old" ugh...🙄 christ on a bike dude! my entire body may or may not have spontaniously burst into flames for no apparent reason....🔥🔥🔥
😂😂😂😭😭😭 💀💀💀Oh, & btw; you wanna be internet besties? 😉😎😘 im checking your channel to see if i can find any of your music there as soon as i finish typing this...or if you happen to have a link to any music youve recorded over the years id love to hear it! Where can i go to hear your music? 💁
@@anoushadewan and btw youre right about there being no fixed blue print. Screw it. I guess as long as we still have air in our lungs then its neither "over" nor is it too late to try, right? I mean idk who th im trying to kid here anyways, lol, tbh i really couldnt stop making music anymore than i could suddenly wake up tomorrow and decide not to breathe oxygen anymore. #music=life #thatsthetruth #truestory 😏
Make no mistake, the first three artists are very solid. Maggie is just on another level, but it's not the kind you get to by just working harder or even talent, in my opinion. She went through a lot of soul searching and a variety of experiences before hitting on that sound (and that song), which appears to have happened very organically. There's a great episode of the podcast "Song Exploder" in which she talks about it. - One other thing that I might mention that's worth noticing is that the first three artists all talked about what they wanted to represent to the world, whereas Maggie talked about personal experience, spirituality, and music. Her song was expressing something deep and real. While the others likely were attempting to do the same, the focus on where it comes from makes all of the difference.
Can we use past experiences in life to write about ? Or does it only count when it's an experience now in the present moment ?
@@JB123abc I mean anything counts, the point of the comment is that there is no true arbitrary rule. If the fire of the feeling is still ignited then it’s still good, or also you can talk in retrospect about how something shaped you.
Pretentious bull
Cafune slaps idc
Idk, I preferred the song @ 9 minutes if I'm being honest. Maybe I'm insane
the teacher's so cool, you can tell he has their backs
Pharrell's reaction to Maggie Rogers's track is priceless. Just pure awesome.
right....
Almost looks like he got emotional for the first 30-60 seconds.
Pharrell trying to contain his excitement while listening to Maggie's song is priceless!
I don't know why I've watched this a million times. Just so inspiring to see what happens when you're authentic and talented.
Atleast a 100xs for me too🙋♂️
Me to
Impossible. That would mean you spent 58 years watching this same clip, which is Impossible considering maggie is 28.
Well they are actors playing musicians
That must've been the most nerve-racking thing ever hearing your song play in front of Pharrell without an immediate response from him lol
The big difference between Maggie and the other students is authenticity and confidence in her uniqueness. I felt like the other artist were copying a style that they feel they relate to whereas Maggie was creating from what she is. That's the difference between artist who make it big and the ones who don't. People can feel and hear the difference. That's why everyone had the same reaction as Pharrell did when listening to Maggie.
well said
I think it was the harmonies and vocals.
@HammerBann Yeah, but there is a difference between inspiration and imitation.
LOL...Artists who make it big are usually the ones with the most promotion behind them, especially these days. The most unique artists tend to stay underground and many throughout history have died before any popularity was attained.
her song literally sounded like Sylvan Esso. It’s lovely tho
The best part is when he asks for Maggie's name again after hearing her song... he knew he just found a gem.
“We’ll see if I’m successful” oh girl if you only knew
I just heard her song on Pandora!
Pharrell's reaction to maggie song, was like, low key can i sign u
+Bundess @21:25 Those eyebrow muscles say it all when that ending harmony in the chorus hits. lol
Pharrell's facial expression is like: I want to produce this girl.
Bone
''I want to reproduce with this girl''
just imagine what kind of music their child would produce :D
Renee Kelley
fxx
@Normal Misha but he never did
That nod and side eye to the teacher at 21:21 kills me every damn time.
Props to that teacher for recognising her potential too and giving her the stage here.
You can tell Pharrell saw a kindred spirit in Maggie. He was genuinely listening and interested in everything she said in her intro and his feedback was more his experience as a listener of her song than a producer/singer-songwriter. You knew he was a fan of hers when he asked her her name again at the end.
"I'm Maggie" "Nice to meet you" What a beautiful exchange.
thats pretty standard where im from
Isn't that what everybody on the planet says when you meet someone for the first time?
@@Jaqvander but she just introduced herself minutes before-hand.
I can see the start of a movie here
@@mattiemclean9882 LMFAOOO AHH
I imagine everytime Pharell looks sideways to his left, giving this eye to someone, he is looking at his manager or something trying to eyeball him "This shit is gonna be gold, wtf!"
True😂😂😂
thames21 haha thats sarcasm right?
Looking to the door trying to get the f out there
@@contosreddit2845 that Grammy nomination kinda doesn't work with this comment 🤣
He's looking at the class professor. The look is " you know if it was just me and you we'd have already played that back like 10 times and get a load of her tappin her toe"
Pharrell gives constructive feedback in a very positive way!
Yeah. As a producer it's his language to an artist to get the best from them.
He's probably the best person to give a feedback, i mean, he's a superproducer/ singer/ rapper and he's been making hits since the 00's
@Normal Misha, "Bless your heart"... I offer this pearl to you: It happens daily that someone will do the "right thing", , , "the wrong way". Keep living. You'll learn.
I answered it. Your "simple mind" can't comprehend@Normal Misha. Troll somewhere else lil girl...
he had to. otherwise these kids are going to murder him for talking shit about his mixtape. the last thing you want to do as a successful artist is telling a nobody artist their music sucks
Cafune deserve more attention. been listening last couple days, these two make some real catchy stuff. also very diverse stylistically.
After going down the Maggie Rogers ride, really curious how the other groups went. Thanks for the name
their song Tek It is blowing up right now!
just heard of them from their song Tek It that’s girls everywhere!
Cafune had some growing to do. At this it feels like thay were just at the precipice of their style and flow but, maybe, a part of them wanted to cling to something familiar. However, Tek It is something special.
They sound like flight facilities
Pharrell is critiquing your stuff. You won.
not always, when he said "great" to the first duo, it means "go find another job"
PentaPanda I mean.. you still get to learn from one of the top producers of the past years. That means a lot.
@@brandonkelly7107 you are right, I was just kidding
Or....Pharell is NOT critiquing your stuff. You hit the jackpot.
Who don't want to receive a criticism from one of the best producers/singers/rappers of the world?? He won 14 grammys working with big artists...he really KNOWS music
Pharell Williams holding back tears while listening to Maggie Rogers is the most wholesome thing I've seen all week and I pet cats.
I think my favorite part is when Pharrell doesn't understand where Maggie's story is going yet and he thinks the professor is being dismissive to her folk music roots, so he immediately cuts him off to be like "boomchika boomchika can be awesome too".
Give him credit, Bob Power (the professor) has produced some of the best ever hip hop records. I don’t think he was being submissive.
Wow you can read all that huh
@Eli Osei [VI-UVI] It’s fucking hilarious
You heard his intro of Maggie. Definitely not dismissive. Professor Bob, saved her for last, for a reason.
I think he was just clarifying that he personally isn’t dismissive of any thing, not that he thinks the professor was.
y’all whenever I see Maggie’s part I start crying because her reaction is so pure & her jammin out to the song is so cute
track is dope as fuck, mags all fay
*day
***** ...k
kek
Where can we hear the ful song? Or you dont know her?

i just want someone that looks at me like maggie looks at pharrell...
+Gerd Valo hahaha
my girlfriend *-*
yo zoe
hey ly
Your girlfriend looks at him that way?? Better reel her back in!
Wish more people like Pharrell would go to Community Colleges. I know schools like NYU are more recognized but there are some very underrated creative individuals at CC’s who have great things to to offer as well. They just didn’t have the same opportunities as kids who attend schools such as NYU.
The description says he invited high school students from outside of nyu
I think Maggie did the best mixing of her vocals so it sounds SO GOOD
Girl is smart. It not only shows in her abstract lyricism, and instincts with the beats. She knows how to sell herself with the story then takes a quick glance at his nonverbal cues when listening to the song and starts bobbing her head. That's the ultimate sign of confidence when selling yourself. With a strong product backing you up, its the smartest thing to do in that situation. Best wishes to these artists.
She's just being herself.
Maggie just being her absolute self. She is just oh so natural and authentic. She is loved for who she is with no pretence.
She had produced two original folk albums before taking this college course. Totally knows how to put her unique music into each and every one of her tracks. Her first two albums are wonderfully authentic and beautiful too.
D Man-G your imagining your own truth. She liked her own music cause she was proud and not cause she’s selling a product.
Ok Mr. MBA
I bet you're in sales/marketing and think there are no authentic people out there. she just digs her own music and let's herself flow
This was probably one of the best days of her life
It launched her successful career and helped get a Grammy nom. So yes, probably.
The best
When maggie showed up i thought she was just another student but then when her song is playing i was like "wait.... i've heard this on spotify, wait..." then i realized she is famous now lol
I love how Maggie stopped looking for approval and vibed to her own music with confidence. The breakup she describes is something I have experienced, even the cutting of the hair and finding my own voice.
She evoked Wu-Tang Clan and Stevie Wonder for Pharrell.
What else do you need to know? Amazing.
The third girl, Maggie?? So dope. She even looked as if she felt her music more, and Pharrell most def did. Great job!!
Yeah exactly she felt it for real. Bopping her head and everything. Super in the mode
2 years later, she’s the musical guest on SNL. Gotta love the world sometimes.
@@steelberg23 Yeah man she's doing really well and deserves it!
@@steelberg23 I've been obsessed ever since the snl performance
22:16 The layering is just absolutely brilliant. Pharrel is just shook by the feel of the layering. I can’t stop listening to it!
His face during the song just shows how good her music was. This famous and successful celebrity music producer was mind blown by her stuff
Pharrell's reaction demonstrated the moment when music can unexpectedly move you emotionally. Amazing to see, especially given how much music this man has heard in his lifetime as an artist and a producer. Maggie Rogers is the real deal. Good luck to her on her journey.
22:29 IS THE EXACT MOMENT PHARRELL THOUGHT ABOUT CLEARING HIS SCHEDULE TO PRODUCE MAGGIE ROGERS
Nah 20:49 he looks at her and already knows
I've watched this so many times I basically know pharrell's feedback to maggie by heart by now lmao
How have I only just come across this 6 years later. I never knew this is how Maggie started out. Pharell can feel he's listening to something special when she starts singing .... and then when the beats drops, he's just landed on Mars ... absolute gold by Maggie and she's so humble
The comments about the other students being ashamed/embarrassed or put down are really clueless. I've been in a college like this and the pure talents usually are the most supportive of other students. Everyone is proud of them.
Maybe there is some jealousy but I never felt this way.
One of my friend won a silver medal at a Chopin concert in NY when she was 16, as a self-taught pianist, and might very well be the most impressive improviser I've ever heard, and is on her way to have a career as a songwriter.
I was just always so happy to be her friend and her drummer!
Very weird output, thinking that you get embarrassed because one of your colleagues have such talent. Some people are jealous, but it's the minority.
Then again some talent have some ego issues.
I would say honestly this game is a game of wisdom and mind, it's much more mental, you put students with the same capacity, the difference is 80% in the attitude and 20% in the life they had before. It's not easy.
I also wish that talent who grew later in life would be more acclaimed. It's extremely rare to be that gifted, but the gift is in the mind and the ability to focus and work at such a level at a young age.
the music business is different than usual business. people aren't the competition, they're opportunities (to get gigs, sessions, plugs, new acquaintances, and to just vibe and play with)
Amen....
People who write these long comments do not know music
@@greatworkouttips lol what?? Writing a long comment means you don’t “know music”? Lol where is the correlation?
Thank you!
Honestly, is Pharrell a fucking vampire?
black don't crack
It's called moisturizer.. That's their god damned secret.. that's it.. they just take care of their fucking skin.
Nah, it's from the sun. The darker the skin the more melanin it has, which protects it from the sun. However, this reduces Vitamin D intake.
Basically, if you're white, wear lots a sunscreen every day.
If you darker, you need to take Vit D supplements.
I think its that these moments are the ones we always hear about after an artist gets big, right moment right people right time. Its never ever been caught on film this way. Captivates me every time seeing the raw reactions of two musically inclined people. The luck of fame is fascinating.
His reaction is so raw. He really couldn't hold any emotions back after hearing that song
Man you can really tell Maggie dropped acid in France
What does it mean? ( I am french btw haha I just discovered her today, and I can agree she is the kind of artist that I like to listen)

Maggie’s song is personal, she explained the state of her life while she wrote it and explained how some of the samples were from nature. So when the lyrics kick in, Pharrel is already painting a mental picture of Maggie hiking in alaska trying to move past an old relationship....as she gains mental distance and confidence the beat kicks in.....He said it in a different interview but pharrel was trying to decide if she was just really good at describing her song or if it was a good song. Turns out its both.
i like how the most unassuming student had the most impactful music (aside from the neckbone chain). give me substance over style every day of the week
She's actually dressed exactly like I would expect it to be. I'm an artist I totally understand.
Yeah, noticed the neck bone chain but that too shows her unique take -- sweet nature girl softness vs the hard reality of a dead animal neckbone. Which is kinda how nature is...sweet and savage.
Poetic. ;P
RR Greenwood Neckbone Chain, new band name.
It’s not about style > substance or substance > style. When you have stylish Pharrell Williams in the room as well it’s just disrespectful to undermine how artists dress.
If they want to be assuming that’s fine, if they want to be unassuming that’s also fine. But don’t shame or praise someone for wearing X outfit. That’s not what it’s about
Damn, Pharrell compared the unique of her song and style with Wu Tang Clan.
Respect Maggie. I hope you kept your style till today.
She did
21:21 the look to his assistant is priceless, he legit wants to laugh, cry, scream & dance at the same time. This song is incredible and I must say as a beat maker myself I'm optimistic about the next generation of real music, 21:48 the moment pharrell wanted to jump on the remix..
Maggie grew before our eyes in her segment. She went from nervous to confidence to validation, and we had the pleasure of watching her maturation!
Just by Maggie talking so passionately you can tell Pharrell was really hoping the music was as good. It is.
I think that’s why I think he was trying to reassure her about mixing folkish music with dance music like Avicci did with “Hey Brother”
I can't stop listening to Maggies track. It's been a long time since a song has made me feel like that
YES, IT IS ENCODED WITH PURE ENERGY😊😊😊💖💖💖
What Pharrell says about fusion is absolutely true in all of art. Cooking, watercolors, video games, puppetry, and anything else you can think of: To integrate fusions that haven't ever been seen before is to give a gift to the world. I look forward to seeing more!
When some one asks what your name again ?? You know they taking you seriously then
Pharrell is ageless ... damn
:)
Fuckin TRUE 💁🏻♂️
Corporate Warrior he really is
Black don’t crack
Dem blasian genes...
'You just have to be willing to use elements that are not necessary populair' ...True story!
I feel a little bit sorry for the other performers in the class, but they were probably as blown away as the rest of the world. And it’s just such incredible music. Singular. That really is the word.
The first performers, Cafune, have actually been somewhat successful and are currently touring. They have a song on spotify with over 100 million plays.
stil not as famous @@adrian-po6lb
Cafune and Maggie ! Wish for all these students to make it big someday
I like how he still introduces himself, if that isn't humble then I don't know.
Can't fake that initial reaction. Genuine as it gets.
The look on his face when Maggie hit her first line lmaoooo love this man
As a banjo player from the Eastern Shore of Maryland, it's definitely cool to see Maggie's success.
Ok, I think I'm on my 10th time playing this. Just a divine song... and watching Pharrell trying really hard to contain himself is gold.
I know right? It was great !
DIVINE BLISS 😊😊😊💖💖💖
hell of a song!
Anyone else watching Pharrell's facials the whole time while he's listening to Maggie's song?? :)
Yoooo Pharrell wants to just go ham on maggies song but he's keeping himself back you can tell he wants to be like DAAAAYYYYYYUMM this is dope
No I am watching videos watching the table and wall
I love how the intro is Cafuné’s don’t you forget
Oh wow! I’ve been bopping Tek It for a month now and I didn’t even know they were from the Pharrell vid! That’s crazy. Cafuné & Maggie Rogers both discovered here, super cool
I love watching Maggie start to feel her own song.. she seems nervous at first, then she starts vibing on her own song knowing that it's good.. glances at SkateBoard P.. 😏
I'm glad she was able to channel her MDMA experience into a creative experience.
I'm sure it was more than just molly.
she took a pill to show avici she was cool
as soon as she said spiritual experience I instantly knew it was drugs:p
Lmao
Right lol exactly what I was thinking probably true Europe has the good stuff for real
the fact that cafuné are blowing up too because of tek it
2022 and Cafune totally hit it huge.
"Well we'll see if I'm successful..." -Maggie Rogers.
Maggie's music, you could feel her spirit. you could feel the spirits she encountered hiking. It was original and fresh. Not generic.
I hear that too; sound of nature
Crazy how 7 years later Cafune got their moment
I came back to this like I do about every year or so and was blown away when I noticed that they were in this and now blew up just like Maggie did 7 years ago :O
I know! I recognized that name and looked it up ASAP, so glad they're getting their moment now. Also love how ahead they were in terms of the vibes so glad they're picking up clout now
Maggie’s surprise when he said he had zero notes! Just went to her show last night and it’s definitely one of my favorites ever. She was amazing.
I salute all those artists for presenting their work. I can't imagine how hard it is to show your music to somebody as iconic as Pharrell
That Maggie Rogers story is the ultimate come up... congratulations
I come back to this video all the time just for the pureness that is Maggie Rogers authenticity while Pharrell reacts to her song! Such an incredible moment to see
he falls so deep in the feeling of a song and if he likes it you can feel the energy
