“A pop star for the ages” — TEEN VOGUE
“Pop music is in a golden age for those seeking a highly specific cocktail of moods: a strain of world-weariness that’s inescapably tinged with sadness, longing, boredom, resentment and lust. That exact fuel mixture — the lustful woe; the bored, resentful longing — courses through every word of Chappell Roan’s irresistible “Casual.” — NPR
“A superstar is born? On the basis of Tuesday night, Chappell Roan already was one — it’s just taken the world a minute to catch up.” — VARIETY
Chappell Roan is primed for a breakout 2023, and she’s now heading to London for a very special headline show at Colours on Monday 12th June. Tickets are on sale at 9am on Wednesday 5th April, here.
In the last few years, Chappell was signed to and subsequently dropped by a major label, meeting her creative collaborator Dan Nigro (Olivia Rodrigo, Conan Gray) along the way. Over the past year she has built an unapologetically honest world and released several singles independently, creating a core, cult-like fanbase. She’s earned the year she has ahead of her and today’s release of “Kaleidoscope” marks the start of this new chapter. “Kaleidoscope,” her first official release under Amusement/Island Records, is an important piece of her artistic puzzle. Discussing the song and why she’s releasing it now, Chappell says, “Realizing I was in love with my best friend was the most dangerous moment of my life, but also the most beautiful. To move from platonic to romantic feelings is always a risk. As my love for them changes, it’s always love no matter which way you look at it.”
Watch the video for “Kaleidoscope” HERE (shot at the legendary Sunset Sound Studio) or stream the song HERE.
Chappell recently shared the video for previous single, “Casual” (watch HERE) – a song which landed on ‘Best of 2022’ lists in Rolling Stone, Billboard, LA Times, Glamour and more. The video was directed byHadley Hillel and puts a cinematic twist on the heroine’s narrative with Chappell falling for the most unexpected love interest.
This month, Chappell wrapped her debut headline Naked in North America tour, instantly selling-out all tour stops including New York (Webster Hall), Los Angeles (The Fonda), San Francisco, Chicago, Toronto and more. The ecstatic shows earned universal praise for Chappell’s magnetic performances and for creating a “glamorous safe space,” and “disco dance party where everyone can feel like the most fun, the most free version of themselves,” in rooms bursting at the seams with energy.
Already gaining recognition for her work within and commitment to the LGBTQ+ community, Chappell invited local drag artists in each market to open for her. Additionally, Chappell has committed to donating a portion of the proceeds from every ticket sale from her Naked In North America Tour to For The Gworls, a Black and trans-led collective that curates parties to fundraise money to help Black transgender people pay for their rent, gender-affirming surgeries, smaller co-pays for medicines/doctor’s visits and travel assistance. For more information about For The Gworls visit: www.forthegworls.party. Chappell’s live shows have become infamous, making her an obvious choice for opener on Olivia Rodrigo’s 2022 Sour Tour.
Chappell Roan continues to connect with her growing fanbase by championing open and honest expression of identity and sexuality. Through her music, art, style and spirit, she has already earned press nods from Pitchfork, NPR, MTV, Vulture, V Magazine, Rolling Stone, Teen Vogue and more. Earlier heralded releases “Pink Pony Club,” “Naked In Manhattan,” and the “deliciously vindictive “My Kink Is Karma” (co-written with Daniel Nigro & Justin Tranter) received well-deserved traction in both the digital and live music world paving the way for a debut album and more live shows coming this year.
