Monday 8th July 2024
Release date: Out now Label: Island
Midwestern darling, burgeoning pop icon and queer hero Chappell Roan unveils her new single “Good Luck, Babe!” out now via Amusement / Island Records. This electrifying track transcends the ordinary with its blend of nostalgic 80s synth-pop and balladier vocals. With raw vulnerability, Chappell bares her emotions, belting out an empowering anthem that explores leaving behind a romantic relationship and exploring authentic love and self-acceptance. Chappell shares, “I needed to write a song about a common situationship within queer relationships — where someone is struggling with coming to terms with themselves. It’s a song about wishing well to someone who is avoidant of their true feelings”. Listen HERE.
