MAGGIE ROGERS’ NEW ALBUM, DON’T FORGET ME, IS OUT TODAY
“RAW AND ELEMENTAL” – ROLLING STONE
“TRANSCENDENT SONGWRITING”– SPIN
“Don’t Forget Me,” (is) a breezy collection of pop-rock songs that (Rogers) wrote in consecutive order, during five kinetic, bountiful days last winter. It is, in many ways, the loosest and most elemental music she’s made…burly, coltish, tender, fun…an intoxicating ease: Rogers sounds unhurried, languid, free.”
Today, GRAMMY® Award-nominated songwriter/producer/performer Maggie Rogers shares her third studio album, Don’t Forget Me, out now via Capitol Records. Download/stream Don’t Forget Me HERE.
“I wanted to make an album that sounded like a Sunday afternoon,” Rogers explains. “Worn in denim. A drive in your favorite car. No make up, but the right amount of lipstick. Something classic. The mohair throw and bottle of Whiskey in Joan Didion’s motel room. An old corvette. Vintage, but not overly Americana. I wanted to make an album to belt at full volume alone in your car, a trusted friend who could ride shotgun and be there when you needed her.”
Rogers co-produced her new album with Ian Fitchuk (Kacey Musgraves, Maren Morris) at Electric Lady Studios in New York City, writing eight of its 10 songs with him and penning two alone. Shawn Everett (Brittany Howard, The War on Drugs) mixed. The album was mastered by Emily Lazar (Beck, Coldplay), who has mastered all of Rogers’ albums to date. Watch the official video for the title track HERE.
Praising the album’s “transcendent songwriting,” SPIN said, “with Don’t Forget Me, Rogers sounds fully confident.”
Rolling Stone said, “‘For such a heavy emotional lift, the album is an easygoing listen, perfect for a Sunday-afternoon drive.”
In this feature, The New Yorker praised Rogers’ Don’t Forget Me as “the loosest and most elemental music she’s made…burly, coltish, tender, fun.”
Don’t Forget Me is the follow-up to 2022’s Surrender, which earned widespread praise, with Rolling Stone hailing Rogers as a “pop music prodigy…an artist who’s in it for the long haul.” She recently celebrated the 5th anniversary of the release of Heard It In A Past Life, her 2019 debut album. Now certified Gold by the RIAA, the album has sold nearly a million copies worldwide and accrued one billion combined global streams.
