Chappell Roan (born February 19, 1998) is an American singer and songwriter. The majority of her music is inspired by 1980s synth-pop and 2000s pop hits. Her aesthetic is heavily influenced by drag queens, and her music and performing style have been described as "campy". Her debut album, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, was released through Island Records in 2023. The album was included in several best albums of 2023 year-end lists. Although not an immediate commercial success, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess garnered a cult following in the months after its release and was regarded as a "sleeper hit" by early 2024. Roan's success has led her to be called a "queer pop icon", "a superstar in the making", and a "visionary performer". Roan has been credited with leading a "lesbian pop renaissance" on the music charts and within the cultural zeitgeist. Established 2024-08-08 ♡ Feel free to request any rank on the group wall ✧
