Chappell Roan has announced her highly anticipated debut album, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, out September 22 via Amusement/Island Records. Check out the album trailer below.
With bold hooks, powerhouse vocals, and theatrical flair, Chappell Roan has built up a cult-like fanbase over the past year across releases like the booming, dancefloor-ready “Red Wine Supernova,” her breathtaking self-written ballad “Kaleidoscope,” and last year’s cinematic fan favorite “Casual.”
Her synth-pop smash breakthrough, 2020’s “Pink Pony Club” (co-written and produced by Dan Nigro), set the tone for Chappell’s evolution into her own version of pop stardom: a small town rhinestone cowgirl delivering euphoric, heartfelt bangers, and a queer icon for a generation.
About her debut album, Chappell says, “After four years in the making comes my 14-song album holding stories of unearthing my true self and fearlessly embracing queerness. With the contrast of my Midwestern upbringing and living in one of the biggest cities in the U.S., ‘The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess’ mirrors the rollercoaster of becoming the popstar I always wanted to be.”
This fall, Chappell will embark on an expansive North American headlining tour that will scale up her intoxicating live show experience across the US and Canada. The Midwest Princess Tour, already sold out in 12 cities, kicks off in September with tickets on sale now. Check out the full list of tour dates below.
An electrifying performer, Chappell wrapped her debut headlining Naked in North America tour in March, selling-out all tour stops including New York (Webster Hall), Los Angeles (The Fonda), San Francisco, Chicago, Toronto, and more. Often featuring opening sets from drag queens, each night incorporated a different dress theme (like “homecoming dance” and “goth, grunge, and glitter”).
