I get the frustration of the lack of diversity of Pop Girls as a WOC myself; calling Chappell's music basic is crazy, her album is very fresh 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chappell Roan - The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess - (CD, Vinyl LP) | Rough Trade Side D has never had anything pressed on it-- perplexing why they would say 'extended edition', though. I imagine they would want to highlight if those songs were on it, especially considering the GLB/Read & Makeout 7"'s starting shipping today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling her second will be better with more access to writers and producers (as long as it's not those producers), and Good Luck Babe was already a major step up in quality. I can't get in to this corny debut though. People are setting her up too much. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cause White Americans are the largest demographic group in the USA. 71% Of the population This is probably the reason there's many white rising stars Edited Friday at 01:37 PM by AvadaKedavra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His production is fresh and unique and they seem to mesh together really well. I don't think Good Luck Babe is a major step in quality because I do prefer some tracks on the album, but it is clear her and Dan are in a really good groove 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't get in to this corny debut though. People are setting her up too much. Like every debut, it has its highs and lows. Whats clear tho: Chappel has a clear identity and immediately finds space and thus legitimacy in this very crowded music world with her Bush-esque approach. Shes very theatrical and playful in her vocal delivery, something we've last seen to this extent in Gaga. Shes unique. While I agree that some songs are corny, others are certainly absolutely stellar - After Midnight is a great Pop song, Kaleidoscope a wonderful ballad, Pink Pony Club another fantastic song. I think she's going to further find her voice and Sound in her second LP, which will likely see her soar to new heights (as can be seen with GLB) Edited Friday at 01:53 PM by Kristie Kuwa 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elvenOCEAN Posted Friday at 02:41 PM Share Posted Friday at 02:41 PM I really wanted to like this and everything sounded promising (cover, song titles, ...), but it hasn't clicked with me. Good Luck, Babe! is a decade highlight though. Hopefully the new album explores and develops this sound further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This first one is just gaining steam and it'd be way smarter to release a Deluxe with her hit. Milk this fantastic debut era Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CottageHore Posted Friday at 03:14 PM Share Posted Friday at 03:14 PM She should definitely milk this album for all it's got. This could be The Fame/BTD of the 2020s tbh Good Luck Babe! and Subway have a slightly more sophisticated and vibey sound to them than the other songs on the album so it'd be cool if they were for a new album but they won't be. She should pull a full Lana and give us her The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess: Subway Edition (and do a partnership with Subway just to be camp) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponzi Posted Friday at 03:26 PM Share Posted Friday at 03:26 PM I listened to this a couple of days ago and it was really cute! There's a few tracks that sounded a bit like Taylor Swift in her last album and those weren't for me. But there's a lot of great ones. When it's good, it's GOOD good. Expecting great things from her. I'm obsessed with Hot to Go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FameFatale Posted Friday at 07:41 PM Share Posted Friday at 07:41 PM I can't get over how the album is literal crack. it's the only album I want to play when I open Spotify Like every other day I have a new favorite. Yesterday I had Casual in my head all day long and today Pink Pony Club has me in a chokehold even though i've already listened to it over 100 times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeathbymusic Posted Friday at 09:54 PM Share Posted Friday at 09:54 PM they need to send HOT TO GO! to radio and start pushing that a little more. it has so much potential. really hope she saves Subway and drops her sophomore album at the top of next year (just in time for Grammys exposure hehe) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
