Ordinarily, that fact alone might turn away a KJHK reviewer. But fortunately, this reviewer didn\u2019t know that before listening. \u201cAlaska\u201d is a perfectly satisfying single with a cool electronic-based beat and snappy acoustic foreground. Its allegiance to the pop sphere is visible, but its lyrics still feel folksy enough to balance it out. These lyrics, when read directly from the liner notes, do seem rather bland and shallow, but they\u2019re delivered in such a way that that is masked. The musical merit of such a phenomenon is debatable. Regardless, \u201cAlaska\u201d comes through as a quality single, and shows that Rogers is a quality artist with the potential to positively influence pop music.<br \/>\n<b><br \/>\nRecommended If You Like: Songs titled after places, songs that Pharrell Williams likes.<br \/>\nRecommended Tracks: 1 (Alaska)<br \/>\nDo Not Play: None<br \/>\nWritten by Joe Underwood on 12\/02\/2016 <\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cAlaska\u201d is a perfectly satisfying single with a cool electronic-based beat and snappy acoustic foreground.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15735,"featured_media":53451,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,3235,181],"tags":[6437,5352,6436,6439,6438],"class_list":["post-53450","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-music","category-music-reviews","category-rock-rotation","tag-alaska","tag-joe-underwood","tag-maggie-rogers","tag-pharrell-williams","tag-single"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/rogers-alaska.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53450","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/15735"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=53450"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53450\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/53451"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=53450"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=53450"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=53450"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
