Donate to support families affected by the crisis in Ukraine ➔ Maggie Rogers Releases New Song “That's Where I Am”
American singer-songwriter Maggie Rogers announced her sophomore album “Surrender” would be released on July 29, 2022 via Capitol Records.
The album was recorded at Electric Lady Studios in New York, Peter Gabriel's Real World Studios, and her parents' garage.
She unveiled the first single called “That's Where I Am” from the album on April 8, 2022.
It was written by Maggie Rogers and Thomas Edward Percy Hull. Produced by Maggie Rogers and Kid Harpoon.
The accompanying music video was directed by Warren Fu, Maggie Rogers and Michael Scanlon. The clip features Talking Heads' David Byrne as a cameo.
Maggie Rogers said of the song and the video in a statement, “'That's Where I Am' is a story I'd been carrying around for many years, the story of a love that had been with me and unfolding for a long time. A lot of the events that Surrender chronicles take place in New York City. In the stark solitude and distance of covid, it was the backdrop for all my claustrophobic fantasies. The proximity and pleasure of just staring at strangers. The way a night could unfold. Events that interrupt your day instead of having to consciously and deliberately make each decision. I longed for someone to sweat on me. Spill their beer on my shoes. Be too tall for me to see at the concert.”- She continued, “The city's music and attitude was a big source of inspiration for the record. For all these reasons, there was only ever one place we could shoot the video. I've always said that New York is the city that winks back. It's a main character. It's a friend, a lover, an enemy sometimes. In many ways, the music video is about that New York love story. And on those filming days, it felt like the city was on our side. We got our first taste of true New York spring. That feral downtown explosion when suddenly everyone's smoking on the sidewalks in short sleeves and drinking gin and tonics. The appearance of a few classic New York characters—David Byrne, The Walkmen's Hamilton Leithauser, and photographer Quil Lemons—made the daydream feel complete.”
