Songs for the Midwest Princesses

thegavoice.com:

If you like Chappell Roan, you’ll love this playlist Chappell Roan exploded into stardom this year after releasing The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, a sincere and bold exploration of queerness, femininity, and heartbreak. “HOT TO GO!,” “Red Wine Supernova,” and her most recent single, “Good Luck, Babe!” are upbeat, ‘80s-inspired tracks about sweet starts and bitter exes.

Her voice is moving and elevates the album’s captivating pop melodies. Her Tiny Desk concert showcased her vocal abilities and iconic style.

The lipstick on the teeth, the wig, and the glove/dress combo embody the album’s sympathetic synth-pop heroine. She paid homage to the late drag queen and comedienne Divine in her latest Pride performance in Louisville, Kentucky.

Chappell’s love of drag extends beyond her wardrobe. On tour, she books local drag performers to open her show. When she came to Atlanta, Drew Friday, Taylor Alxndr, and Cookie Dlite opened the show at Buckhead Theatre.
