Maggie Lindemann Releases Debut Album

Dallas, Texas, singer and Instagram starlet Maggie Lindemann released her highly-anticipated debut album, SUCKERPUNCH on Friday, September 16.

The record arrives over a year after Lindemann delivered her debut EP, PARANOIA, which saw her embrace a deliberately rugged sound inspired by the pop-punk of her youth. SUCKERPUNCH progresses that sound and materializes her personal vulnerabilities and triumphant autonomy over her creative process.

Lindemann has come a long way since her breakout single, “Pretty Girl,” and earlier this month, MIC got to ask her a question about her evolution.

MIC: Maggie, how you feeling? I saw your tweet last night, are you still planning on a celebratory black out?

Maggie Lindemann: Oh, yes. I just took a nap, and I’m ready for it.

MIC: Well while you’re still sober, let me get a question in. I want to ask about your music as of late and pop punk in 2022 because it seems to be a genre that has resurged in a significant, chart-climbing sort of way. With the constant conversation around your personal and musical metamorphosis, was playing into and modernizing that 2000s-era sound in any way an intentional reflection on your past vs. your current self? Or is that just the sound that felt right for this project?

ML: That’s a really good question. I think that I was just doing whatever I wanted. I’m super heavily influenced by the 2000s’ and 2010s’ pop-punk, so I definitely liked to play with that and make it feel a little more current with stuff I’m listening to now. I think when I’m making music, I’m not really thinking about that type of stuff, but when I look back, I realize it. I was just going into the studio with all these ideas, and my producers were very patient with me and helped me put the vision to life.
