Maggie Rogers Premieres New Song “Give A Little”
New York-based singer-songwriter Maggie Rogers has released a new song “Give A Little” following previously released "Fallingwater".
It was written by Greg Kurstin and Maggie Rogers. The song will appear on her forthcoming as-yet-untitled album.
In the past, she has released two independent albums "The Echo" and "Blood Ballet". The new album is her first LP to release from major-label.
She described the song in a handwritten note.
"Dear you,
I’ve spent a lot of time over the last couple months writing about the past. I wanted this record to tell you about these wild two years I’ve had and acknowledge all the change I’ve felt. I wanted the chance to re-introduce myself – in my own words, in my own time.
“Give a Little” was the last thing I wrote about for this records and there’s always been a special magic to these 11th hour songs.
I wrote “Give a Little” on the day of the national school walk out for gun control. For all the months I’ve spent feeling helpless and frustrated with the world around me, on that day I was so inspired by the change these students were fighting and continue to fight for. As my friend Taylor put it, “a world where we treat problems as human issues, not political ones.” A world where we are visionary, not reactionary.
This is a song about empathy. In the midst of all this fear and hate, what if we got the chance to re-introduce ourselves? What if somebody listened?
Yours,
Maggie"- She will appear on some festivals in the UK this summer such as Reading Festival on August 24 and Leeds Festival on August 25.
The festivals feature Fall Out Boy, BØRNS and Wolf Alice, among others.
Back to the US, she will perform at Whiskey Peach Midtown on September 15th and 16th, and Pilgrimage Music & Cultural Festival on September 22nd and 23rd.
The festivals feature Fall Out Boy, A R I Z O N A, Elie King and Hozier, among others.
