Why Chappell Roan is Blowing Up
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- After nearly 10 years since signing to her first label, Chappell Roan is finally blowing up with her first record, "The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess" and her very first Billboard Hot 100 entry, "Good Luck, Babe!" Chappell's journey as an artist hasn't been the smoothest story. Roan has been dropped by a label, dumped by an ex and even was forced back to her home state. In this video, we'll recap her stunning journey as a musician. #theriseandfallofamidwestprincess #chappellroan #popmusic

I always knew she was going to be BIG, saw her open for Olivia during the Sour Tour and everyone was in LOVE! Like she’s worked so hard, I woulda just quit if i got dumped by my BF and the label in the same week 😭😭😭
Literally I had California happen to me recently but I’m coming back 💙
Her and Sabrina are honestly one of the few newer artists that hustled for years before finally getting their big break but you can see how it has paid off. Chappell’s music is a fresh of breath air in a climate where songs are so moody and angsty. No shade to anyone but a lot of household artists have become a tad stale and just a repetition of older music. Chappell brings something new to the table that has been missing. I have always heard of her but never dwelled into her music until recently. I will be honest, it took me a while to get into her music because I just couldn’t vibe with it but now I am hooked. She’s a modern day Kate Bush mixed with Lady Gaga but she has built her own identity. I think due to have years of making music and not becoming an overnight hit, she has developed into her artistry and knows the direction she wants to go in. Music has been needing some happy bops and I’m glad it’s someone who is queer because we need some representation here lol.
Honestly, yeah! I like the grit and awareness of identity and sound that sometimes crazy upstarts just have to find in the process. Chappell’s def someone who has Gaga and Bush and kinda dark pop influences yet still remaining vibrant!
@@Mtv20O1 sure she makes “some” great new songs, but y’all are pushing it too far. she sounds identical to the “last dinner party”- just one of many artists. She’s LITERALLY bringing nothing “new” to the table.
@@LD-tn6ff I’ve heard the last dinner party, and to some degree, I don’t really hear the similarity. If you’re thinking with that mentality, then you can say nobody in the last 10 years has brought anything new to the table and that includes artists like Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo, Tate McRae, etc.
There was a dry spot in the mainstream industry of happy and cheerful tunes. Pop music had become moody since the start of 2010s and it continued through the pandemic. It wasn’t until late 2023-2024 where the bubblegum pop started coming back again.
Sure, what she is doing is similar to the likes of previous artists (like I mentioned in my original post) but it is rare for someone in mainstream pop of the new generation to be making music like hers that is representing the queer community.
I’m so glad she’s big!
She’s so deserving omg Good Luck Babe is my 2nd most played song of 2024
One has to look at her newer music through the lens that it was created. Her inspirations are drag, camp, trashy, and just pure LGBTQ+ energy. If you look at artists of the past who were in a similar vein, this is great. We need this now, especially in the LGBTQ+ community. With the way things are going in the country, something not too serious that we can dance to, sing to, and perform to is cathartic.
Oh so true, she’s doing legwork for the queer community and its cultural cache.
i disagree! i didn't really vibe with femininomenon at first, but i loved the rest of the album immideately! so uh still give it a listen, even if you don't like femininomenon
Idk the Midwest Princess album hits different with actual queer people, straights can't really feel it all that much. I think it's a lot more enjoyable and relatable to queer people.
The straights I know are eating up Hot to Go and Good Luck Babe not even realizing/caring about the queer undertones, it’s kinda insane
Tbh, I had already heard and seen “hot to go” but said no because of it sounded like a generic 80s revival with tacky visuals. Then “good luck, babe” consumed me. We were all fatigued with dark, sad, quiet sounds and she was right there, with Sabrina, giving us the break we needed.
I think people want poptimism back just in a newer fresher way. 2018-19 really brought a dark vibe to pop when trap took over.
Coffee being called weaker when it's so heartbreaking and raw and beautifully written i'm losing my mind!!!!
I’m a really into instrumentals but Coffee’s a decent song! I’m just more captivated by Casual sadly
Noooo fr I really think it's one of the albums strongest
Yes! It might be one of the tracks I like the most. It's raw and deep and really pretty, idk why this guy didn't like it.
I SAW HER AT BOSTON CALLING AND OMFG!!!! i’ve never seen a bigger crowd i was so proud
She apparently outdid Ed Sheeran?!
I saw Chappell Roan open for Olivia at the Guts in Palm Springs. I didn't know anything about her and fell in love with her music instantly. She reminded me of Mariana + the Diamonds. My body was moving!
OMG Marina… I didn’t even think of them being similar 😭 they have a cool intonation and exactness in tone
I played a Chappell song to my mum and she thought it was Marina
her style kinda reminded me of Marina & the Diamonds honestly, but for lesbians
Marina’s honestly a really good comp for the sort of sound
Out of all the new pop gurlies today, im rooting for miz chappel roan. She reminds mo of Gaga 2008
FR like the backstory of label issues, her performing everywhere BEFORE blowing up! She’s v old fashioned yet modern
Naked in Manhattan is my fave! As someone who discovered her queerness while in a happy straight-presenting relationship (I’m bi) and has not been with a woman, I guess I feel a connection to it 🩷💜💙
Happy Pride!!!
To be honest I didn’t know who Chappel Roan was, the time I knew who she was when she opened for Olivia Rodrigo. I think it is quite werid and fascinating how she seemingly came out of no where (atleast from my point of view) and it is quite telling how I haven’t really hear anyone calling her a “Industry Plant”. I guess when an artist does put care onto their work people can really vibe with that.
The truth is most artists are sorta “industry plants” and a lot of them wither. The ones that are nurtured and become our faves, they work their butts off. Lady Gaga had a similarish story, being picked up and dropped by labels and even having to perform at IKEA parking lots to slowly build a fanbase. In the modern digital (post social media) world, people don’t have to do that but the ones that do and succeed (like Chappell) they last longer tbh.
I literally love her and was a fan before she opened
The taste exhibited here. Credit where credit is due!
Let's just say she's the mother we never had, the sister we've always wanted, the friend that everybody deserves, we don't know a better person.
The high notes in Good luck babe snatched my wig. I love when an eccentric artist like this emerges, now my only hope is that we'll get a new baroque pop girlie, think Lana del rey honeymoon vibes, I guess weyes blood is that but I need another girlie to serve in that niche, am I asking for too much y'all? Love Ur Channel btw
YES! (Also thank you for the channel love)
I love her so much! She’s worked so hard over the years to get to this point and I really hope her upward trajectory continues.
My favorite (and first song I heard of hers) was Casual and I was absolutely gagged. Definitely brought back some memories of early situationships in my life and the difficulty navigating them. That’s probably still my top song from her, with Pink Pony Club and Red Wine Supernova getting honorable mentions. I can’t wait to hear & see what she does next!
Casual's such a good song, I'm shocked it never really caught on. Though I do see it doing pretty well with streams in the way a lot of earlier Billie songs wouldn't chart but rack up insane numbers over the years.
After Midnight & my kink is karma really sucked me in. I really hope with Chappell & Sabrina trending with heavy pop sounds, brings back some of the early 2010’s recession pop vibes to the charts.
And I need her to desperately release Subway, like yesterday
After Midnight is so good love to see someone actually mention it! And yes, Subway does seem like it’d pop off and be a sleeper hit much like all her tracks it seems!
What do you think about Chappell’s sudden rise?! Sound off! What track made you a fan?!
Red Wine Supernova is such a good song i love it!!
@@koalacat5934should have charted on the Hot 100… it sounds so much like a hit!
Obviously Good luck babe! , I don't know anything about her, I just love that song lol
My Kink Is Karma. Heard it a year ago and absolutely fell in love
@@EljohnMacaranasLITERALLY! this whole album is full of hits
Amazing video essay! Sharing with all my friends who love Chappell :)
Thank you 💙
This girl literally appeared out of nowhere, and I had to figure out where she came from. Thank you for the information!!
It’s crazy how fast she came outta the blue, like usually it takes years to build a following but since around last year with her touring with Olivia and her own tours, she’s emerged. Reminds me of the old days when ppl hustled and didn’t rely on TikTok
I love this album I just think the track list needs to be re-organized here’s how I would’ve organized it
1. Femininomenon
2. Red wine supernova
3. After midnight
4. Casual
5.super ultra modern girl
6. HOT TO GO
7. Coffee
8. Guilty pleasures
9. My kink is Karma
10. Naked in Manhattan
11. California
12. Pink Pony Club
13. Picture you
14. Kaleidoscope
Short reasons on this track re-listing: I think the narrative and energy is better kept up and told. Kaleidoscope being the closer is the only change I’m 100% sure of, it has the same modes of story telling as Guilty pleasures but it feels like the Kaleidoscope she’s taking about is the view points she’s gained in this song, rather than being done with a narrative she’s re-entering the cycle to her detriment but she has new perspective which I think is a more suitable ending
Yeah Kaleidoscope does sorta fit as a closer! I feel like it’s track placement takes away from its like weight!
I SAW HER LAST WEEK IT WAS INCREDIBLE!!!
I need to go and see her, I keep missing her when she’s in town
Between Chappell and Sabrina the world will be saved
POP HAS ITS SAVIORS (on top of the girls that are already there but it's so nice to have two distinctly different pop girls coming up at the same time)
I’ve been waiting for this
Oh, I had multiple DMs when the album dropped then even more when Good Luck Babe started to pop off 😭 it was time
Imagine wanting to be an artist and becoming a gay icon just like that
She legit blew up so fast!
"Naked in Manhattan is minimalistic"
The ad libs: touch me Touch Me TOUCH ME TOUCH ME!!!!!
Aside from the vocals! The instrumental’s kinda sparse for Chappell!
@@EljohnMacaranas true haha you're right about that!
For my favorite Chappell song I have two very different answers so here they are
Picture you - ok so I put this song in my grieving playlist right between Always by Ashe and Personal best by Maisie peters and when I tell you it’s boasted my opinion of the song sky rocketed, it’s just perfect but heart destroying
Super ultra graphic modern girl and After midnight- nothing really much to say just pop perfection
I have to say After Midnight is such a good song, really reminded me of Paramore and a few other bands but still poppy! Picture You is pretty underrated too! 💙
@@EljohnMacaranas I promise you just play Picture you after Ashe’s Always with no ads inbetween, It will change your thoughts 😭
I remember shortly after Pink Pony Club released, it was on my Discover Weekly and I loved it and thought it was a real standout, which she has absolutely proven to be! I can't wait to see what else she does in her career.
I think she's got so much growth to do
I can’t believe I got to see her live in Asheville with a crowd of only 4,000 people! I can say I was an early adopter LMAO
So jealous! Those shows are gonna be rare now!
Why is antlantic your no.1 enemy
The way they treat their artists is just… BAD
Will you be covering the Apple Music top 100 albums of all times list?
I might… just to complain about omissions
@@EljohnMacaranas yeah… it was a choice. Me and a few friends broke down the list and categorized each album into a few pacific categories and then we made a different list that was probably what they were going for but even that list fell short. So I’m curious about everyone’s takes now. Would love to see that video
Are you gonna make a video about Bonnie McKee when Hot City drops on Friday?
Possibly, she’s a really talented songwriter
I saw her album pop up on my recommended on Apple Music when it came out. I thought the album cover was cool and was planning to give it a listen. Then I saw she was opening for Olivia when I was planning on seeing her and knew I had to listen immediately. I have been obsessed with her ever since! It was euphoric singing all her songs in the 300s and hoping she would see us doing the Hot To Go dance all the way up there!
I’m so glad you got to see her! She’s gonna be hard to get tickets for on her next tour 😭😭😭
@@EljohnMacaranas When I listened to the album I immediately want to see her and then I found out she performed in my city just a couple of weeks prior🙃
I am going to see her at Lolla and I know it’s going to be packed. I also attempted to snag a ticket for her Lolla after show but they definitely sold out in seconds so I know the next time she tours it’s gonna be difficult🥹
I thought your review was interesting bc I was listening to the This is Chappell Roan spotify playlist which has the songs in a different order😅 I personally like her older tracks at the end of the album a lot. Naked in Manhattan is a fun song!
They're great but I do wish for the album that newer tracks had been in their place (I just really need more music lmao) but seeing how Pink Pony Club is finally charting, it did pay off.
I'd LOVE for you to cover sabrina carpenter if you hadn't
Coming this week or next! I wanna do a proper look into her body of work
u hit the head on the nail of the topic when you talk ab her ability to make wordy clunks of words sound so elegantly flowy. after midnight is my favorite for that reason
I adore when people just make things work, sometimes people really tank but the bravery to do it and get away with it! Sick! When it happens!
the mothercain shout! midwest girlies are up
Mother Cain, please drop those B-sides… 😭 pleak
@@EljohnMacaranas lmao, not pleak 😭
Umm anyone writing THREE MASSIVE HIT SONGS at once will be a star in my book!
Getting her album tracks (non singles) to chart is insane
I seen Chappell open for Olivia, wish I’d appreciated it more. I really had no idea who she was!
You witnessed a star being born!!!
@@EljohnMacaranas I did!! It’s only up from here when it comes to Chappell!!! So excited to hear more of her art!
I first heard Naked in Manhattan in February 2023 and it was my #6 song for the year. It’s been such a pleasure introducing all my friends to her!!!
It’s insane how big her crowd are Outside Lands was!
Picture you is actually about sex on facetime I think.
🫢
Honestly so obsessed with Chappell rn and I’m so excited to see gay artist finally openly shine, I hope Peach Prc is next to blow up 🤞🏼
Need to check out Peach Prc thank u for the recommendation
if chappell doesn’t win best new artist this year i’m gonna kms
She has to compete with Sabrina but I think she’s taking it bc Grammy voters love a story
@@EljohnMacaranas would they really nominate her? I know artists can linger for a while and still win, but Sabrina was fairly well known before the last Grammy cutoff. Just as a quick example - she played nonsense at the 2023 VMA preshow (sept 23) more than a year after it was released (july 22).
edit - she's also listed as being snubbed for a 2023 best new artist nomination in a business insider article.
Pink Pony Club and Naked in Manhattan are two of the best songs so I'm glad they were "tacked on"
I love them but like they just sound older than the rest
Don’t give up everyone….just don’t give up 🥺💯
Just around the corner
I kinda wanna hear Marina and the Diamonds AI covers of some of these track
Marina and her should collab
No skips actually
Need album 2 already
I'm glad pop is back with new popstars❤
Thank god because uhhhh some of the legacy artists are not doing so hot
@@EljohnMacaranas chappell & sabrina really brought back the fun good energy in pop! The previous ones in the top charts weren't doing it like this for a while
Just here to hear about her pregnancy or is that hidden from here aswell
What?! Did you mix her up with someone else?!
@@EljohnMacaranas no, she has a post about it
I just checked her IG, she performed at Lollapalooza?!
Of course, she is.
On her way up! ⬆️
Glad to know she's really catching on with audiences. I first heard her when "Naked In Manhattan" came out, which was a long time before Midwestern Princess was a thing, so I wasn't even sure she was going to have an album. The song was a striking introduction just because of how personal the verses were mixed with a more upbeat/comical chorus and her voice sounded so into every emotion. Compared to most pop artists, the song had a personality that was immediately memorable. It's amazing how long the journey took to her debut, but it also meant I was familiar with over half the record by the time it finally came out. Still, it's so much fun, and made my best of last year as well. I love Chappell and hope her next chapter is even better. If nothing else, that Coachella set was one of the best I saw on the livestream (love that "HOT TO GO" works like a modern "YMCA" crowd dance). It really comes across how much fun she's having and I think that's going to get her pretty far.
I think her Coachella set was a star-making moment, her performance at Boston Commons apparently drew a bigger crowd than some of the headliners! She's really on her way to proper pop stardom. It's cool seeing someone actually build word of mouth and succeed on a slower path!
Great video! She’s so fun and unique. Her voice is amazing!
She really stands out in today’s sort of landscape not to detract from the other girls but she has a unique backstory and vibe!
Thank u!❤
Thank you for watching 💙
I saw her in March of this year and she was incredible
Need to see her!!!
Also, can’t wait to see what YOU do next!
We got a Sabrina deep dive, possibly a Born this Way Ball recap/era thing, and a couple other odd surprises! 💙
