Hard to Miss, Impossible to Forget: Maggie Rogers Releases Third Studio Album, ‘Don’t Forget Me’

Self-described “witchy feminist rockstar” Maggie Rogers is hitting the road again.

I discovered Rogers by chance in early 2019, shortly after her first studio album, “Heard It in a Past Life” came out. Since then, Rogers has released two albums, “Notes from the Archive: Recordings 2011–2016” (2020) and “Surrender” (2022). During this time, I have grappled with simultaneously wanting to gate-keep Roger’s musical genius and impose it on all of my family, friends and acquaintances. Despite my greatest efforts, I have been unable to keep Maggie Rogers to myself.
