Grammy Award-nominated songwriter, producer, and performer Maggie Rogers has unveiled her latest masterpiece, Don't Forget Me, a nostalgic journey through life's moments, seamlessly blending personal narratives and universal themes.

Collaborating with Ian Fitchuk, acclaimed for his work with artists like Kacey Musgraves and Maren Morris, Maggie Rogers created a collection of songs for Don't Forget Me that echoes the essence of a Sunday afternoon – relaxed, classic, and deeply evocative.

Recorded at the legendary Electric Lady Studios in New York City, Rogers and Fitchuk recorded a beautiful collection that exudes warmth and familiarity. With Rogers penning eight of the album's ten tracks alongside Fitchuk, and two compositions solely credited to her, the album emerged as a timeless ode to simplicity and authenticity.

Reflecting on the album's genesis, Rogers shares, "I wanted to create an album that felt like slipping into your favorite pair of worn denim, embarking on a leisurely drive in your cherished car, adorned with just the right amount of lipstick. It's about capturing the essence of a vintage vibe without being overly steeped in Americana."

The title track, "Don’t Forget Me," offers an intimate exploration of the legacies woven through our relationships. Accompanied by a visually captivating Super 8 video filmed in Maine, the song captures the rhythmic cadence of everyday life, mirroring the album's organic energy.

Throughout the album, Rogers and Fitchuk masterfully intertwine personal narratives with universal themes, painting a vivid portrait of a journey through the American South and West. Rogers explains, "Each song feels like a memory – snippets from pivotal moments in my life, seamlessly interwoven with tales of newfound freedom and self-discovery."

Don't Forget Me builds on the success of her debut album, Heard It In A Past Life, which soared to the top of Billboard charts and garnered critical acclaim, which included a Best New Artist Grammy nomination.

In discussing the album's creative process, Rogers reveals, "We approached each session with a sense of spontaneity and openness, capturing raw emotions and first-take performances. What began as a series of demos evolved into a cohesive body of work that celebrates imperfection and authenticity."

With Don’t Forget Me, Maggie Rogers invites listeners to embark on a journey infused with nostalgia and unbridled optimism. As she aptly summarizes, "This album is a testament to growth, resilience, and the joy of embracing life's unexpected twists and turns. I hope it resonates with audiences as much as it does with me."
