New Music: Chappell Roan Is A ‘Super Graphic Ultra Modern Girl’

Midwest darling and imminent pop star Chappell Roan dropped her highly anticipated debut album this week, along with the music video for her free-spirited (and alien-inspired?) “Super Graphic Ultra Modern Girl.” A technicolor celebration of self-discovery and transformation, the new collection – The Rise & Fall of a Midwest Princess  – is like a musical journal tracking Roan’s cinematic journey of falling in queer love for the first time while embracing all the messy and imperfect moments in between. The new music video is oh-so-fun and gives me a bit of that free and frolicsome B-52s flavor. I like. https://youtu.be/kWLai0XoZmg?si=14Zo_-x93T01iZWw On her Instagram, Roan shared on her personal journey to here:

This album is for the 10 year old girl from the Midwest who never thought she could be herself. The girl who felt shame from the day she turned 13 for having a deeper love for her girl best friend that was unlike anything she felt for boys. For the girl who was told to be proper and sweet and ladylike, but simply would never be.

I hope you feel freedom and joy when you listen. I hope it gives you solace in the difficult times.

My dreams have already come true because I have seen the joy this music has created out of thin air. That’s all I can ever ask for. I am proud of myself for daring to fail, and yet against all obstacles, succeeding.

We did it.

With her bold pop hooks, sex positivity, honest songwriting, and expressive style and spirit, she has already earned press nods from Pitchfork, NPR, MTV, Vulture, Billboard, Teen Vogue and more. Roan was also named Amazon Music’s ‘Breakthrough Artist of 2023.’ Roan embarks on a 33-city North American tour on Monday with 23 dates already sold out!
