Maggie Rogers on World Cafe
Maggie Rogers’ new album, Don’t Forget Me, is a perfect summer road trip album, and the feeling of fun and freedom came from her putting the pedal to the metal in the studio. Rogers and producer Ian Fitchuk wrote two songs a day and recorded the new album over the span of five days. It’s Maggie Rogers on the next World Cafe.
