I don’t know what to say about Chappell Roan, but “WOW!”
Chappell Roan
I’ve seen the future of pop rock and her name is Chappell Roan to paraphrase the old quote about Bruce Springsteen. Roan is so fucking good. She’s a breath of fresh air in her uniqueness and creativity.
The only person I can compare her to is Lady Gaga. She doesn’t have the pipes that Lady Gaga does, but she can sing well and produce a very (raunchy) American Bandstand type of song that I remember from my youth.
Madonna 1984
Come to think of it, maybe it’s not Lady Gaga I should compare Roan to, but Madonna. I say this because Roan is over-the-top sexual and she has a very 1984 Madonna aesthetic to her. And Madonna back the day was more about dancing and lyrics than she was about how well she could actually sing.
So. Yeah. Going forward, I think Roan could blow up to Madonna-levels of success pretty quick.
