is what I would say if I was a HATER! That little redhead changed my life and I’m going to talk about it. Her album “The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess” has taken over everyone’s playlists and I love that.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I found out about Chappell Roan shortly after she released “Good Luck, Babe!” in April when she had around 4 million monthly listeners. Now, she has almost 40 million. At my old school, I would put on Chappell and people would groan and ask, “who is this?” At MSA, people cheered when “HOT TO GO!” played at the back-to-school dance. Here’s me talking about some of her less popular songs! Minus “School Nights” because I think we can all agree that it was rough\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cLove Me Anyway” was released in 2020 and is one of my favorites! You can even hear the yodel that she puts into her later songs. I love the story she tells in the lyrics about the one-sided relationship where Chappell is singing from the perspective of the person in the wrong.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSubway\u201d is an unreleased song that she performed at Gov Ball while she was dressed like the Statue of Liberty. I love the vocals, and she sings about missing a girl she met on the subway. Listening to the ending is a full body experience. Minus points though because I have to listen to it in the form of Spotify podcasts and she might not even officially release it.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAfter Midnight\u201d is the third track on \u201cThe Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess\u201d and it\u2019s so fun! It\u2019s about leaving home, finding her place, and just having fun at the club. It\u2019s just a fun, catchy pop song. Plus points because it\u2019s my great aunt\u2019s favorite.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCoffee\u201d made me cry the first time I heard it, the piano breaks my heart. It\u2019s about a relationship that ended but they both need closure. They want to talk about it, but they know if they see each other, the cycle will repeat of getting back together then leaving again.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPicture You\u201d is by far my favorite Chappell Roan song. The lyrics are beautiful, her voice is amazing, and her vocal flips at the end of the song changed my life. Her Tiny Desk performance of this song was honestly better than the original and when she performs it live, she usually has a wig on a mic stand as a partner!<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cKaleidoscope\u201d breaks my heart every time. It\u2019s my most skipped song from her album because I know I\u2019ll get sad if I listen to it. It\u2019s about confessing your crush on your friend, not being reciprocated, and then having to go back like none of it happened.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCalifornia\u201d hits so close to home. I still love it though and I adore the story about leaving her hometown to chase her dreams and make her family proud but becoming extremely homesick. I really relate to this story with moving to MSA and it hurts my heart to listen to.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cGuilty Pleasure\u201d is my guilty pleasure! The beginning really threw me off the first time I heard it, it\u2019s strangely whimsical but now I think it\u2019s really fun to listen to. Chappell\u2019s vocals are to die for in this song! Her yodeling changed my brain chemistry and I love the way she performs it live, too!<\/span><\/p>\n

I know everyone and their mom talks about Chappell Roan, but I just wanted to add my two cents. A lot of people have been saying that she is bringing \u201ccamp\u201d or tacky music back and I really love that because most of the time, I just really like to listen to fun songs, that\u2019s it. So what if it\u2019s tacky or overrated? Chappell Roan\u2019s music makes me happy, and I haven\u2019t gotten sick of listening to the same album for 4 months straight (yet).<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
