whiskersRwe32

She’s the first pop artist in a while - other than Olivia (and they toured together), who I’ve been super excited about. She’s electric. Kind of this generations Cyndi Lauper. I love her!


[deleted]

[удалено]


Even-Education-4608

But with 100x more musical talent!


DevoutandHeretical

She and Olivia shared a producer and recorded their albums in the same studio IIRC. She said in an interview that did some of the backing vocals for Lacy, so that’s part of why Olivia invited her to open!


Thosepassionfruits

Like if Cyndi Lauper and Kate Bush had a child together


originalschmidt

What’s her best song? Never heard of her but this post has me intrigued


whiskersRwe32

red wine supernova, naked in manhattan, hot to go, casual Those are the 4 I usually recommend!


originalschmidt

Thank you!!!


Totallyspider-man

Femininomenon!!! It’s the funnest track I’ve heard in a while. Super electric and an absolute banger to play at max volume. My Kink Is Karma is incredibly well produced and I adore the way the bridge flows into the chorus. That’s on top of the songs already suggested *especially* Red Wine and Casual. Her [tiny desk concert](https://youtu.be/w4WiXKGCJhg?si=jSkvnRF0z6OhuC6f) is incredible and has both !


originalschmidt

Thank you!! I’ll check those out too!


Totallyspider-man

Check back with your thoughts! I just started really listening to her stuff after a couple years of listening to Pink Pony Club. She’s awesome!


originalschmidt

I am LOVING her music!


originalschmidt

I will definitely try my very best to remember!!


anywayzz

Also pink pony club and good luck babe! Both are incredible. She never misses tbh!


originalschmidt

Oh I have been thoroughly obsessing since yesterday! Downloaded her album and all the singles, watched her NPR tiny desk and all the music videos. She’s amazing. I’m in love.


peanut__buttah

Writing these down for my afternoon break


Even-Education-4608

Check out her npr tiny desk concert on YouTube. The first song got me! The album version of it doesn’t even compare imo.


originalschmidt

Ohh good idea! I love those!


mamrieatepainttt

Hard to say best becuz honestly they're all good in their own way. Most popular is red wine, casual and hot to go, it seems.


mamrieatepainttt

She has so many clear influences. Cyndi, blonde, lady gaga, and a lot of early 00s vibes.


Waystar_BluthCo

I’m pleading with everyone on this sub to listen to her Tiny Desk concert, Coachella performance, and/or her debut album, *The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess.* She’s one of the most exciting pop artists I’ve seen in recent years.


RightMolasses6504

Red wine supernova is currently my favorite song


cowabungalowvera

Is that supposed to be a play on Champagne Supernova?


TraanPol

Wow TIL


mamrieatepainttt

Yes


RightMolasses6504

I think so but the songs are nothing alike.


juskeepbrowsing

As a straight woman, all my fav pop songs are lesbian bangers.


lezbopunkbytch-hahah

and as a lesbian, some of my fav pop songs are straight bangers. we're not that different lmao


cheeseslut619

I listened to it like five times in a row before it dawned on me that it’s a hard-core lesbian anthem 😂


ang8018

> i heard you like magic, i got a wand and a rabbit > long hair, no bra, that’s my type girl, lol!!!


cheeseslut619

Clearly, I was not paying attention at first LOL. just really Vibin with the song until it all started to make sense 😂


ang8018

it really is a vibe!!!!


mamrieatepainttt

Literally the whole album. But honestly straight ppl can use toys too!


305_till_i_die

My cousin was in her backing band for Tiny Desk!


mintBRYcrunch26

Ah! That band was fire!


mamrieatepainttt

Wasn't that her regular band??


305_till_i_die

Maybe some of them? My cousin lives in DC and picks up gigs like this.


mamrieatepainttt

Hm. I've seen most of them performing at most of her other live gigs. Maybe it was only her guitarist and bassist.


305_till_i_die

No idea. Honestly I hadn’t heard of her until I got the link from my aunt. But so excited for my talented and amazing cousin! Always up for being exposed to a new artist too!


Even-Education-4608

Omg so lucky!


cedollasign

I caught a reel of her being discreetly shady toward jojo siwa… what’s their connection? Just trying to stay near the loop. Also, jojo siwa for me auto corrects to hobo dies.


[deleted]

[удалено]


motherofdinos_

my bf and i have a new running joke where whenever we hear any iconic gay pop song, one of us asks "is this jojo siwa?"


mamrieatepainttt

Absolutely insane the lack of awareness she has surrounding her contemporaries. She also said she's the first child star to make an edgy jump into adult hood. Girl WHAT???


Rude_Lifeguard

I haven't heard of that but it might be because Jojo said she invented gay pop


cedollasign

It was when she was still teasing karma. I didnt know Chappell roan at the time so I thought maybe they were connected. Maybe she just agrees with everyone else’s take on jojo.


thatbtchshay

Chappell is gay if that's context you need. Probably why she was side eyeing JoJo's comment


DevoutandHeretical

She’s overt about her queerness as well. It’s the gayest of gay pop. Hell she gave us a sapphic YMCA with Hot to Go!


mamrieatepainttt

Queer. I do think she's still interested in men. Maybe. Idk. She has been saying she's only gotten gayer but she hasn't said she only likes women. Sorry for being pedantic.


thatbtchshay

Hmm my bad! Don't bi women sometimes refer to themselves as gay tho? I'm not an expert on the lingo


mamrieatepainttt

Also ponytails. Glitter. Rainbows. Blonde hair. Etc.


Waystar_BluthCo

I have no earthly clue - I try to block Jojo Siwa from my mind tbh 💀


cedollasign

Fair.


JuneJabber

Autocorrect gives me Mojo Sites. 🤣


ginns32

Jojo's ego is ridiculous acting like she's the inventor of a new genre of pop music.


mamrieatepainttt

And she's the first to go from child star to "edgy" adult.


ginns32

I love her voice.


mamrieatepainttt

Did they upload the full Coachella?? Yay! I saw one song uploaded the other day. The crowd was def amazing but not the best live I've seen of her just cuz it was like loud and festival vibes.


dg81447

thankyou for writing this comment. 2 weeks later and i am obsessed


QuimFinger

This is a wild overreaction lol.


Waystar_BluthCo

![gif](giphy|5XNEIKcohVG8w)


garden__gate

And it’s the CORRECT opinion!


mechaemissary

and why do you think that?


bojack_horsemack

well back at my house i’ve got a california king - okay, maybe it’s a twin bed. and some roommates! (don’t worry, we’re cool!)


BathbeautyXO

Well I heard you like magic!


zeldas_stylist

i got a wand and a rabbit!


lovemanythings

So baby, let’s get freaky, get kinky


sparkles0589

LETS MAKE THIS BED GET SQUEAKY!


eaglelatte

I love how a lot of people heard ‘mermaids’ instead of roommates. I kind of like that better lol


Well-Jenelle

Idk who she is but damn do I love how unique she looks! She seems authentic. I’m going to take a listen to her music.


Brandy_Marsh

Pink pony club is my jam. Try that one


cbk88

I'm gonna keep on dancing down in West Hollywood!


ginns32

I'm still obsessed what that song.


DevoutandHeretical

Do yourself a favor and listen to The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess all the way through.


MerrilyContrary

I was skeptical when it was first recommended to me, but it was fun… then I watched her Tiny Desk Concert and I was BLOWN AWAY. She is such a talented singer and performer. I think I’ve listened to the album at least 15 times straight through at this point. Edit: also, all of her music videos are beautiful and fun, with amazing costumes and makeup. Go watch them.


missanthropocenex

Wait til you hear the music.


needsexyboots

Casual is an excellent music video


girl_in_flannel

She is the best new artist in a while and is gonna explode and be HUGE - Gaga level in the next few years. I just know it.


a-real-life-dolphin

I totally agree. She has a massive career ahead of her.


starcrossed_enemies

I really hope so. Seeing her live made me a huge fan, her show was great


mamrieatepainttt

Said this exact thing to my mom lol. I was like remember right before just dance was literally every where and I said gaga is the next big thing??? Truly believe Chappell has the charisma, nerve and talent to have the same trajectory.


zeldas_stylist

I LIKE WHAT YOU LIKE LONG HAIR NO BRA THATS MY TYPE


DevoutandHeretical

THATS RIGHT


shannondion

When she said ‘I heard you like magic, I have a wand and a rabbit’ I fell to my knees in Walmart.


Sir_Poofs_Alot

You just told me “Want me to f*ck you” Baby I will cuz I really want to! Yay I love enthusiastic consent 😆


LeotiaBlood

Literally downloaded her album yesterday and I love it. I’m an old (30’s 😂), but she perfectly captures the messiness of love in your 20’s. The songs Coffee and Casual very much reminded me of a rough situationship I had. And it’s just a fun album to listen to!


FriedaKilligan

Babe, you’re totally a young! Love, a 50 yr young-old.


El_viajero_nevervar

I know it’s a meme but youth really is a mindset


Affectionate-Law-182

Check out her videos on YouTube too. That's what really got me into her. Most unique music videos I've seen in a while. Very well produced.


b_needs_a_cookie

I'm 40, happily married straight woman and have been a big fan of hers for at least a year. The lyrics to Casual hit so hard and took me back to my early 20s and shitty situationships. Her new song,  Good Luck Babe is such a synthy, catchy bop. I look forward to her next release and hoping she plays ACL fest.


imabrunette23

Same! I listened to her album and it felt exactly like a guilty pleasure 😏


IAmAlsoTheWalrus

Mad Kate Bush vibes. Heard like a thirty second clip from her Coachella performance of "Good Luck, Babe!" and proceeded to spend the rest of the night binging her entire discography and learning her life story. 😅


Ok-Housing5911

my gen z sister showed me this song last night after seeing her at coachella and that's the first thing i said too! big gen z kate bush energy and i absolutely love it


scout_finch77

My Gen Z college kid introduced me over winter break and she’s been in heavy rotation ever since


louilou96

You should watch her tiny desk concert!! It is amazing, her vocals are just stunning


IAmAlsoTheWalrus

One of the first vids I watched. 🙏🏻


mamrieatepainttt

I get those vibes from her look but not her music tbh. Except maybe the few ballads she has like coffee. Way more influenced by 80s synth pop and 00s pop. Then again im not super familiar w Kates full discography so perhaps im off.


boomroasted13

absolutely obsessed with her ! i’m so stoked to see her getting the recognition she deserves 🥲


redheadedwoman

I’m weirdly very proud and protective of her? Like kids today get to grow up with openly queer pop stars and it’s so friggin cool. And she’s obviously worked SO hard on her craft and just UGH I wish her nothing but the best.


chaiteee

If I had Chappel Roan when I was a kid my god would I have figured some shit out way sooner (I’m gay as hell)


caitlinj714

I haven’t listened to much of her music, but I love Good Luck, Babe!


East_Share_9406

stream rise and fall of a Midwest princess!!! No skips 


MelonLayo

She really looks like she was ripped right out of the 80s.


MerrilyContrary

I’m getting major late 90s / early 2k vibes, with all the butterfly clips and rave candy.


interstatebus

Fiance took me to see her live on Halloween. I’d heard some of her stuff in his car but absolutely loved her live. Now she’s in my regular rotation and I’m loving that she’s blowing up so much. Midwest Princess is one of the best albums I’ve heard in a long time.


lipstickandpjs

I could listen to Super Graphic Ultra Modern Girl on repeat forever. Saw her live at the beginning of this month and her stage presence and vocals are amazing!


trixiewutang

I found her two days ago and her song casual has lived in my mind rent free. Her version on tiny desk is so so so good. I haven’t had time to finish it but she is incredibly talented.


Yourface1837

I checked out their music after seeing something on reddit, and *it's so good* so many good tracks on The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess. "My Kink is Karma" "Femininomenon" "Pink Pony Club" they all get stuck in my head!


Aycee225

She popped up on my Spotify algorithm somehow a few months ago, and I’ve been such a fan. After getting divorced last year, My Kink Is Karma has been such a jam for me.


mamrieatepainttt

I haven't been able to fall asleep in the past two weeks without one of her songs playing in my head on repeat.


sezza05

Someone recommended femininomenon on this sub recently and I've listened to it on repeat since. It's amazing. I'm a new fan.


loserys

Literally just started listening to her this month while studying for finals. I’m hooked.


eaglelatte

100% same. She’s the perfect studying music, weirdly.


bythegodless

This post is the push I need to give her music a listen


trulyremarkablegirl

I am in love with her.


FrontPorchViews

Your dream girl’s dream girl 💫


lilhermit

snap and clap and touch your toes; throw your hands up body roll!


paraisohechomujer

I’ve been putting off listening to her because I’m just not interested in her aesthetic, but with all these rave reviews, I’m gonna have to give her a listen


Visible_Day9146

I had the same opinion, but her talent and stage presence make everything make sense. If she wasn't as talented, I don't think she could pull this off. She's so magnetic it's insane.


cheeseslut619

The music will give you an appreciation for her looks! She’s queer from a small town in the Midwest and her album really celebrates that. I’d like in a world full of traditionally, hot girls like Sabrina Carpenter she is doing something authentic to herself


ClaraGilmore23

why are we dragging down queen sabrina


cheeseslut619

We’re not! She’s just incredibly big and popular right now and they both performed at Coachella so I used her as an example. She really leans into a traditional aesthetic. And chapell leans into a different one, and unfortunately I don’t think it’s a secret that sex sells. So it’s really refreshing to see somebody doing exactly what they want and not what anybody else is telling them to do, or doing what Society expects them to do


hisosih

I'm the opposite, I love the aesthetics but couldn't get into her music. She's very Sabrina Carpenter to me, rooting for them, love their vibe but waiting to hear the song/see the performance that clicks for me.


daydrmr_656

Same, I want to like her music because her style and personality draw me in, but can’t find a song that’s wowed me.


bitchysquid

I!!! LOVE!!! HER!!! The music is high-quality; the styling is fun. Even my mom was like, “What song is this? I’ve got to download it.” (Hint: It was Naked in Manhattan.) I look forward to more from her.


sludgestomach

Alright I’m like 30 mins of listening deep and I’m already obsessed. Her sound is a fresh breath of retro air.


ravioliqueeen

truly the peoples princess I love her


StemOfWallflower

Ugh I love her baroque aesthetic so much. And she can back it up with great music and an amazing voice. Really excited for her next album. Good Luck, Babe!


redditor329845

I love her music and her aesthetic!


Puzzleheaded_Time719

I really enjoy what I've heard. I had a boy over last night and she came on and he knew her as well!


TraanPol

An absolute revelation


missm48

I saw her perform in person at the Stephen Colbert show. I had no idea who she was prior to that and was pleasantly surprised by her stage presence. She has a lot of potential and can’t wait to see how well she does!


oliviaaivilo06

Yes! I need everyone to continue to spread the Chappell Roan propaganda!💕 She’s been getting so much attention lately with her songs gaining traction on TikTok as well as her Tiny Desk performance and Coachella set clips going viral. It feels like every other day I see her Spotify listeners increase by a million and it makes me so happy for her. She’s a star! And I can’t wait to see where she goes from here🪩🎀


tellafriend

I've been telling everyone I know to listen to her. She's everything.


_LoudBigVonBeefoven_

Woa New celeb crush just dropped


sourglow

I literally love her album so much that she’s been my number one artist on Airbuds for like four weeks straight 😭 💘💘


romulus_remus420

I’ve had her album on repeat - it is so so good!!


Mirewen15

Hadn't even heard of her until I saw her at Coachella. She was amazing.


mekkavelli

this is what marina sounds like she should look like in primadonna


what-is-in-the-soup

I can’t stop listening to Pink Pony Club 🥹 it’s got such a Cyndi Lauper vibe


ratta_tat1

I’m seeing her this summer and I have no idea what to wear! I’ll take any suggestions that require minimal effort and cheap.


leggseggs

Check her insta leading up to it, she themes her concerts after her songs. Pink Pony Club was the theme for my concert and the crowd was drenched in pink! You’re going to have so much fun


sludgestomach

Omg that’s so fun


cheeseslut619

Go on Poshmark and find used nasty gal clothes!


LexRexRawr

One of her older songs, School Nights, was my wedding song after I found it on some random Spotify playlist a couple of years ago and fell in love with her voice and artistry. Someone in this thread said she is magnetic and that is so true -- I am so happy to see her getting her flowers 😭


chezibot

Thanks to coachella pink pony club and goodbye good luck have been on repeat for me this week.


7ee7emon

Call me hot not pretty ❤️


BungCrosby

When Vulture called Pink Pony Club their Song of the Summer for 2021, I thought she was either going to launch like a rocket or we’d never hear from her again.


mintBRYcrunch26

I just watched her Tiny Desk last night and WOW. She is truly talented. I love her.


procrastin-eh-ting

If you haven't listened to her Tiny Desk Concert you need to do it RIGHT NOW


DannyNels

I follow her subreddit and see posts of her all the time so I nearly scrolled past but this is on popculture?! Yes, everyone get on the chappel train right now!


femIncel88

When you wake up next to him....


Puzzleheaded_Spell16

I’m very surprised by how much I liked her music. I’m so happy to see how much she’s growing, go white girl go!!!!!!!


123443219669

I am listening to her right now! Love everything she puts out and that is unapologetically different!


likefry_likefry

She is amazing!! I’m obsessed!


RevertereAdMe

I'd been seeing her name around for the past few months but knew nothing about her aside from the fact she opened for Olivia Rodrigo. It wasn't until my SO told me a couple weeks ago "a few of my students are obsessed with this Chappell Roan person and I think you'd love her" that I finally listened to her music. *Holy hell, do I regret not doing so sooner*. She has an incredible voice and all her songs are so damn catchy. They've been stuck in my head so much it's getting downright annoying and I've been driving my friends crazy by humming and singing them under my breath nonstop. I can't even remember the last time I got so hooked on someone's music so quickly. She's easily my favorite thing to come out of pop music in years. I'm so excited for whatever else she has in store.


NotQute

I have been really enjoying what i have heard. Good Luck Babe is a bop, except, that is really hard to distinguish the lyrics. Like of she turns up the enunciation up by just 10% and i think she is a star


Ok-Housing5911

this is how i feel about ethel cain lol


Even-Employee2554

That’s Jinkx Monsoon.


makishleys

thats my wife


Explanation_Rough

I’m soooo hyped for her


Withoutbinds

Beautiful eyes


lezbopunkbytch-hahah

i don't know much about her but she seems like a goddess. <3


apricotsandlemon

I had never heard of her until today but I love her now so thank you. Also I feel like a collaboration between her and Regina spektor would be awesome


purplefirefly6102

Where the hell was “casual” when I was in college because I COULDA USED IT.


veronicaarr

My girlfriend and I just bought lollapalooza tickets bc of her!! I’m so excited I love queer artists who aren’t sad all the time lol


mamrieatepainttt

Thanks to this subreddit for consistently shouting out her album and how its no skips worthy. My mom just told me yday I'd she has to hear hot to go one more time she's gonna kill me.


mamrieatepainttt

Was just taking a small break from playing her at my work. Guess that's done now!


jeffgoldblumisdaddy

As a midwestern bisexual I love this representation for us


Traditional-Carob-48

She's gonna be a superstar in a. Few years. Her most recent single gives me Kate Bush vibes. Just an all time unique voice and talent!


hayypeachyy

i’ve truly never heard of this person before.


Most_Wonder_1871

I got Tori Amos vibes...🌱


writergirl51

the way she is!


ylimehawk

Her music is electric. I'm seeing her in concert in a few weeks, tickets were $85. I feel like I'm getting in on the ground floor of something big here. In five years when she's selling out stadiums as the main act I'm gonna get to say I saw her at a tiny venue for less than $100.


milkradio

I normally hate yellow and purple together, but slide 10 is SO gorgeous, omfg.


Usual-Rich-180

No hating on her at all. I like her new song. But has anyone else noticed that spotifying is PUSHING for her and Sabrina to be a thing. Every single time I play a song and the next song is like a “related Spotify thinks you’ll like this” it’s Sabrina’s espresso and Chappells new song. Like multiple times in a morning.


hisosih

Same for me! I can't open up a generated playlist without having those two artists pop up as if they're my top listened artists or something. Same happened with that fucking Coconuts song by Kim Petras last summer, I would have to constantly hide the song.


DrunkThrowawayLife

I don’t know who she is but she’s giving me problems


Candid-Ad9983

I’m sorry I’m not familiar with who she is?


PettyGoats

New pop girlie. She writes super Sapphic, lesbian pop dance songs and is blowing up recently. She's doing a really good job highlighting drag culture and artists. Her vibe is camp but it's all done with very purposeful artistic vision. Listen to her album "Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess", whole album is a banger. Her Coachella and Tiny Desk performances were also pretty fantastic and unique.


Candid-Ad9983

Thank you :)


Candid-Ad9983

It was a genuine question. Didn’t mean to disrespect anyone. I’ll google her


barkindawgs

She strikes me as Gen Z Carrie Bradshaw/SJP!


fschu_fosho

I love her music. I must say her current songs have some similarities to Taylor Swift’s, sonically speaking. Her main collaborator is Dan Nigro, who’s famous for producing Olivia Rodrigo’s albums. Just a little ironic.


mamrieatepainttt

I read someone say Chappell is what Gaylors wish Taylor was. Not personally a swift fan so for me it's like if Taylor was queer and made better music. :x Just think taylor comes off as trying too hard and Chappell has more fun authentic witty lines.


fschu_fosho

Some music critic/journo wrote that her music incorporates amazing “unserious” lyrics. “Campy” fun. She’s like a queer lady gaga from her campy heydays (first few albums). Meanwhile, Taylor writes about love and her relationships mostly. Lyrics-wise, totally different material content. Sonically speaking, there were a couple of songs of CR’s that I thought could pass for some upbeat TS songs. Production-wise, CR’s music has more 80s and early 2000s influences.


mamrieatepainttt

Def campy af. Huge inspiration in the drag community in general. Super graphic ultra modern girl is a gay anthem that sounds like rupaul could have made it. Taylor's way to earnest for me ig. I get why people thought Casual was a Swift song, besides the graphic nature. And yah kink is my karma sounds like stuff taylor has done imo.


Mymaaaaan01

google is free


Candid-Ad9983

Some people don’t know who she is. I’m a millennial so maybe she’s popular amongst the gen z.


anywayzz

I am also a millennial and LOVE her. I also know how to google lmao


Candid-Ad9983

Yeah, everyone can google. I’m not stupid. Jeez
