Last year, she had a rabbit. So, this time, Chappell Roan was expected in the turn for his only appointment in France. After Lana del Rey and Billie Eilish, just that, the new sensation of American pop opens the 2025 rock edition at Seine Festival this Wednesday, August 20.
It will only have been enough for a year and a half for the 27 -year -old singer, who chose his name in tribute to his grandfather who died of cancer, stands out as a pop and strange icon. Thanks to a single Good luck, baby! Released in April 2024, Missouri’s has a great popular success: 4th in the Billboard Hot 100 ranking The rise and fall of a princess of the west medium (2023), presented six months earlier, was rediscovered by the rock audience in Seine, when the criticism had already praised him when he threw himself.
In a decoration directly from a Disney feature film, at the crossroads of a magical castle and a Gothic church, Chappell Roan opens its show in Green Corset, cloth butterflies stuck to the buttocks, as a version of the fairy bell version, a universe that prevents all its discography, and that allows you to reaffirm its queer identity.
Pop Queer Pop Figure
With his music, the self -proclaimed “Super Gray Girl Modern Girl”, with the name of his opening song, stands as one of the emblematic figures of the rebirth of a lesbian pop, next to a Billie Eilish with his title Lunch Or a red girl. All your album is an ode for (and disappointments) in free and uninhibited love and sexuality, while Chappell Roan openly affirms being a lesbian.
FemaleSecond title of the concert, evokes the preference of the singer for women. Good luck, baby!Flagship song of his discography, he deals with the norm of homosexuality in romantic relationships. The subwayThe last single to the artist date and a card on Tiktok, talks about a prayer after a break.
So many issues that contrast with their childhood in Missouri. The story of Chappell Roan begins in Willard, a small town of 6,500 inhabitants. Kayleight Rose Amstutz, his real name, was born on February 19, 1998 in a conservative and Christian family, surrounded by a sister and two brothers. The Church freques it three times a week. Christian camps, every summer. It is taught, among other things, homosexuality is a sin.
Thus, when the first notes of Hot to go!A kind of queer chemn hymn, difficult not to recognize the state of the LGBTQ+ icon of Chappell Roan. The entire rock audience, including many Mini Chappell Roan, sometimes with a cowboy hat, sometimes extravagant red hair and white -painted faces, occupies the choreography, forming the Hotto letters –go with the arms. A practice that recalls another symbolic title of Gay culture, that of Celebrity Village. Chappell Roan, described this song as a “YMCA, but even more gay”.
Praise
She continues with BarracudaResumption of the heart, famous American rock group of the 1980s transported by two female figures, the Ann and Nancy Wilson sisters. An intense moment, scored by flame pitchers, headbangs in Gogo and guitar alone with heavy metal sounds, demonstrating that Chappell Roan has its place in the opening of rock in Sena.
The entire concert alternates between a pop inherited from Lady Gaga or Katy Perry and a rock inspired by the 2000s and adolescents as Strange Friday. All transported by some theatricality of the artist, who plays with a burlesque aesthetic, even “camp”, exaggerating certain words, certain gestures and costumes for the grotesque. Ironic and provocative.
Rarely, a concert of a rookie from the music industry will have given rise to such a strong enthusiasm, you just have to listen to rock assistance in Sena, recover each song in the choir to understand it, and like many blows chained in one hour twenty in concert.
A beautiful revenge for Chappell Roan, whose career could never have seen daylight. Before her recent successes, the young woman experienced a failed audience in America’s Got TalentSometimes on YouTube, and a first record company that took it out in the Covid pandemic.
To conclude, the very young icon chooses like this Pink Pony Club – One of its cult titles, obviously sung throughout the public. The artist makes her goodbye, and we already let a great suite glimpse. A true feminomen.
