Maggie Rogers Announces New Album “Don’t Forget Me”
Maggie Rogers is gearing up for an exciting new chapter in her music career. The 29-year-old artist recently revealed that her third studio album, Don’t Forget Me, is set to be released on April 12 via Capitol Records.
In a press release statement, Maggie expressed her excitement about the album, highlighting the joy she experienced throughout the creative process. “I have had so much fun at every stage of making this album. I think you can hear it in the songs,” she shared, emphasizing the album’s vibrant energy.
Describing the inspiration behind the album, she opened up about the storytelling approach she took, revealing that some of the songs were written from personal experiences while others were inspired by fictional characters and narratives. She painted a vivid picture of a young woman embarking on a journey through the American south and west, capturing moments of introspection and self-discovery along the way.
As Maggie delved into the themes and emotions woven into the album, she reflected on the transformative nature of the creative process.
In her words, “Some of the stories on this album are mine. And for the first time really, some of them are not. The moments that are mine feel like memories — glimpses from college, details from when I was 18, 22, 28 (I’m 29 now).”
She further explained that “Some of the stories and details in the songs are from friends or from the news. Some I just completely made up, or rather, sort of flew out of me. Pen to paper. Fully formed. There they were. I think in this way, some of the deepest truths about my present were able to come forward. I wasn’t looking for them or digging them up, harvesting their stories before they had the chance to become fully grown. The truths about my life came from my deepest intuition. Things I wasn’t ready to say out loud to myself, but they found a place in the music.”
Accompanying the album announcement, Maggie released the title track Don’t Forget Me along with its music video, offering fans a glimpse into the intimate and reflective tone of the upcoming album. The song, with its poignant lyrics and wistful melody, invites listeners to ponder the legacy we leave behind through our relationships.
In the music video, shot in Super 8 in Maine, the singer immerses herself in the simple joys of life, from lounging in the grass to savoring a cup of coffee and taking a refreshing swim. The visuals complement the song’s heartfelt message, creating a poignant and nostalgic atmosphere.
