Review
Maggie Rogers' album "Don't Forget Me" felt like a heart-to-heart chat with an old friend when it dropped on April 12, 2024. This was a real game-changer for Maggie, who took a step back from the high-octane beats we knew her for, inviting us into a more subdued soundscape. This new record feels like a diary, filled with pages of self-reflection and the kind of mature vibes that just stick with you.
The title track almost had me in my feels with its touching lyrics and gentle melodies. Maggie's mix of tenderness and introspection in "Don't Forget Me" and throughout the album hits home for anyone who's grown up in the age of Instagram and still yearns for genuine connection. It's all about finding a balance between yearning to be remembered and embracing the realities of adulthood. I found myself nodding along to the simplicity of the music that allows Maggie's poetic lines and her distinctive voice to really spark. The album's stripped-back approach is a breath of fresh air, proving that sometimes keeping it simple speaks volumes. Without a doubt, "Don't Forget Me" stands as a heartfelt beacon in Maggie Rogers' musical timeline, connecting with our own stories in the most beautiful ways. - Ava
