WHAT IT IS: Chappell Roan is primed for a breakout 2023. In the last few years, she was inked to and subsequently dropped by a major label, meeting her creative collaborator Dan Nigro (Olivia Rodrigo, Caroline Polachek, Conan Gray) along the way. Having spent two years writing, recording and independently releasing a series of tracks, Roan has since amassed millions of streams and sold out her first headline tour, which featured elaborate themes for each city, with local drag queens opening each show. Roan is gearing up for a new chapter with her latest offering, “Kaleidoscope.”
