Co-produced by Kid Harpoon (Florence + the Machine, Harry Styles) and Maggie Rogers, Surrender is the follow-up to the Grammy-nominated artist/producer/songwriter's massively beloved 2019 debut, Heard It in a Past Life, which entered Billboard's Top Album Sales chart at No. 1 and debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200. Praised by tastemakers across the board, Heard It in a Past Life landed Rogers a nomination for Best New Artist.
Over the course of 12 unfettered yet exactingly crafted tracks, Rogers fully captures the frenetic intensity of the last two years of her life, bringing her bracing honesty to stories of anger and peace and self-salvation, transcendence through sex and freedom through letting go. Allowing herself abundant space to examine and embody the most complex emotions, Rogers' fierce, unflinching vulnerability ultimately alchemizes all that heightened feeling into her most joyful output yet: a body of work built for the sweaty immediacy of live performance, raw and revelatory and primed for shared abandon. Rogers recorded Surrender in three distinct locations - her parents' garage, Electric Lady Studios in New York City and Peter Gabriel's Real World Studios near Bath, England.
