The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess

📖 About this album

Chappell Roan's debut album (2023), a theatrical pop record blending 80s influences with camp aesthetics and queer storytelling. A slow-burn breakthrough that became one of 2024's dominant cultural conversations.

📝 Our review

The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess is the pop album many had been waiting for without knowing it. Chappell Roan blends eighties pop, camp and glam with lyrics about queer identity and the price of fame that are direct without being preachy. «Good Luck, Babe!» and «Red Wine Supernova» will last. A delayed debut that feels like a cultural event, not a product.
