Chappell Roan on The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, perseverance and the freedom of drag
The singer-songwriter sits down with Q's Tom Power to talk about her debut album, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, which the Los Angeles Times has called “one of the year's most exuberant dance-pop albums.”
The singer-songwriter is having a bit of a moment right now
When she was just 17, Chappell Roan signed her first record deal with a major label and moved to Los Angeles. But when the deal fell through, she returned home to Missouri where she began soul searching and trying to figure out her next steps. Roan talks to Q's Tom Power about being discovered on YouTube, how she responded when she was dropped from her record label in 2020, and what inspired her critically acclaimed debut album, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess.
