Chappell Roan has revealed the inspiration behind her new single, and we are so ready. In a new interview with Rolling Stone, the rising singer-songwriter discussed various topics, from her meteoric rise to fame to coming to terms with her sexuality, as well as the legendary pop stars who have reached out to lend their support.
Roan also teased the follow-up to ‘Good Luck, Babe!’, which memorably became her breakout single earlier this year with top 10 positions in the U.S., UK, Australia, New Zealand and Ireland, where it reached number-one. “[The next single] needs to have more grit, whether that means more pop grit or rock grit or just bite to the lyrics,” she said. “Anything that I listen to — Joan Jett, Heart, Gaga — I want to feel like them.
So I’ll just be inspired by that feeling and how I can capture it.” That’s not all: Roan confirmed that she’s working on a sophomore album and has already completed five/six tracks. “We have a country song.
We have a dancy song. We have one that’s really 80s, and we have one that’s acoustic, and we have one that’s really organic, live-band, 70s vibe.
