Maggie Rogers - Don't Forget Me [Dogwood Evergreen]

Grammy Award-nominated songwriter, producer, and performer Maggie Rogers returns with her third studio album, Don’t Forget Me, a record that feels like a deep breath after a long journey. Co-produced with Ian Fitchuk (renowned for his work with Kacey Musgraves and Maren Morris) and recorded at the legendary Electric Lady Studios in New York City, the album was born from a prolific five-day creative burst. The result is a collection that eschews the high-gloss production of the digital age for something far more tactile: it is "worn-in denim," "no makeup but the right amount of lipstick," and the timeless cool of an old Corvette.

The sound of Don’t Forget Me is intentionally classic—evoking the sophisticated grit of the mohair throw and whiskey bottle in a Joan Didion motel room. Writing eight of the ten tracks alongside Fitchuk, Rogers leans into a "vintage but not overly Americana" aesthetic, blending the driving energy of 90s guitar-pop with the intimate storytelling of the 70s. From the propulsive, open-road feeling of "It Was Coming All Along" to the sharp, relatable wit of "So Sick of Dreaming," the album captures Rogers at her most liberated and confident.

This vinyl edition perfectly preserves the organic warmth of the Electric Lady sessions. The "Sunday afternoon" atmosphere is rendered in high fidelity, allowing the rich basslines, shimmering acoustic guitars, and Rogers' powerhouse vocals to shine with a "live-in-the-room" intimacy. It is a record designed for the long drive—a timeless, soulful statement from an artist who has truly found her stride.
