Awards & Rankings
-
Oct 7, 2024Midwest Princess does an impressive job of establishing Roan’s bright, gaudy and commanding artistic vision. While we have had the privilege of watching her shape herself over the past three years, it’s still remarkable for an artist to arrive fully formed.
-
Oct 7, 2024Her writing is focused and concept-driven, often scaffolded around a single word or image. “Coffee” and “Kaleidescope” are lesser examples—not coincidentally, both are rather somber piano ballads—but “Picture You” is perfectly executed, conjuring drawn curtains and flickering candles in the bedroom where Roan fantasizes alone, “counting lipstick stains where you should be.”

Oct 7, 2024The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess is a little lacking in vision and coherence, but this first glittery collection of pop songs from Chappell Roan drips in charisma and hedonistic pleasure. Let’s drop the ‘star in the making’ label – she’s already here.
