The US singer has just come off tour with Olivia Rodrigo, with whom she shares co-writer and producer Daniel Nigro
Ring the alarm: Pop music is getting its sense of fun back, and it's all thanks to Chappell Roan.
Her uproarious debut album, The Rise And Fall Of A Midwest Princess, came out last September, telling the story of a closeted, small-town girl finding her way in the world. Full of outrageous lyrical twists and scorching-hot melodies, it's also one of the horniest records in recent memory. The 26-year-old has sex in the passenger seat of a car, streaks down the streets of New York and makes out with her best friend, reasoning: "We could go to hell, but we'll probably be fine." That line is more autobiographical than it seems. Roan was brought up in the conservative city of Willard, Missouri, where she attended church three times a week and was taught that being gay was a sin.
The singer says she often spends over an hour putting on her show clothes and drag make-up
Moving to LA after signing a record deal opened her eyes. Immediately after visiting her first gay club, she wrote Pink Pony Club - a campy, liberated disco anthem that's become her calling card. But the singer isn't as promiscuous as her lyrics suggest. Chappell is actually the alter-ego of the much quieter and self-effacing Kayleigh Amstuzt, whose fragile heart is exposed on lachrymose ballads like Kaleidoscope and California. She describes Chappell as a "larger-than-life, drag queen version of myself", who allows her to be rebellious and risqué. "I couldn't be Chappell all the time," she admits. "I'd be absolutely exhausted."
After playing three headline tours in the last year, the star has seen her audience grow organically, rather than via a TiKTok algorithm
You signed to Atlantic Records and moved to LA when you were 17. How did that affect you? It was very disorienting and shocking. I would cry in my car if people honked at me. It wasn't really until I was there four, five years that I really found myself in the queer community - all of the drag shows and the dancing and the clubs and the fun art stuff. That directly inspired Pink Pony Club... Tell me about the night that led to that song.
Songs like Casual and Kaleidoscope address the thorny dynamics of Gen Z relationships
Tell me about the Chappell character. Why did you decide to be her, instead of Kayleigh Amstutz? I just didn't think me as Kayleigh was exciting enough. So I invented this more interesting version of me, and I'm so glad I did. How much of Kayleigh is there hiding inside Chappell? I'm about 30% Kayleigh on the stage. But if I'm doing a song like Kaleidoscope, then I'm fully Kayleigh. Does the persona allow you to express things you'd be too shy for in real life? Like, I noticed you wrote about dating girls before you had a girlfriend.
Although she majors in pop music, there's a country twang to Roan's vocals that can be traced back to her Midwestern roots
