Love the concept, please just tone down the graphics

[Coveskipper]

Maggie is very articulate about her mastery of the whole process of writing, arranging, recording, mastering and performing her creative genius. I especially love how she talks about the song structure and meaning through the musical elements and how they directly convey the essence of the song. Lyrics are only part of the story. The graphics are ridiculous distraction and it’s obvious by how much of this discussion is about them.

the graphics are waaay too distracting

[SavannaSkyeB]

maggie is always so articulate and thoughtful!! the only less-than-perfect part of this were the animations - soo annoying and distracting tbh lol

[magnoliablue]

agreed - the graphics take away from the weight of what shes actually saying

Interesting "creation" story. *Light On* seems to capture very nicely what sudden fame must feel like.

[MinhPham-zqrb]

Listening to her talk about her music is amazing!

[benjaminlaw]

I love the graphics, they're fun

[GarageStudio]

*An absolute musical genius & a future musical legend!* ✨
*P.S.* I hope she doesn't sell her soul for fame...

[MariDangerfield]

A fellow artist using productional analogies is quite comforting ☺️

[EnnyOwl]

I just covered her song. It's been stuck in my head for ages 😍

[NathanMaingard]

Thank you Maggie and Billboard for bringing us this. And yes, I agree with others here: please, back off on the animations, especially the disturbing sounds. Her story has power enough 💗

[JungYuri]

i love her. i hope she can manage well the other 75% of her job and can be happy, i just like her so much~

[mohamedlanu]

My favorite song from you is alaska I can't stop listening 🎧 that's song

[mikaelakim]

“dancing while crying” best. line. ever.

[SqueakyLouiseClean]

graphics need to be toned down a notch...too much

[Dogfathergrooming]

Im probably the only guy that listens to death metal that loves this song.. amazing emotive vocals.

[twheeler]

Lover her! But the animation made this almost unbearable. Just let her talk, we’re not three year olds that need pictures to entertain us.

[cleomondragon]

The only thing that would be better about the graphics is if the sound was either lower or gone. That’s what’s distracting besides that they enhance the video

[musicblends]

the beginning of the verse on this song sounds like I Know A Place by MUNA + MUNA has a song called Crying on the Bathroom Floor.. possibly a little too much inspiration going on there 😂
