Country Singer Chappell Roan Unveils New Track 'The Giver'
Fresh Version:
Chappell Roan hails from Missouri, but her career as a global pop sensation has mainly kept her away from the country music scene. However, now she's diving head-first into country with her latest single "The Giver."
Roan first showcased "The Giver" during her SNL appearance, implying she wasn't shy about experimenting with new sounds. Just like her hits such as "Good Luck Babe!", "Hot To Go!", and "Red Wine Supernova," she collaborated with Grammy-winning hitmaker Dan Nigro to create "The Giver," demonstrating her versatility in seemingly uncharted territory.
Here's a glimpse of the lyrics:
"I ain't got antlers on the wallsBut I sure know mating callsFrom the stalls in the bars on a Friday nightAnd other boys may need a mapBut I can close my eyesAnd have you wrapped around my fingers like that"
"You ain't got to tell meIt's just in my natureSo take it like a taker, 'cause baby, I'm a giverAin't no need to hurry, 'cause baby, I deliverAin't no country boy quitterI get the job done"
Roan discussed her foray into country music on Today's Country Radio With Kelleigh Bannen on Apple Music, stating:
"I have a special relationship to where I'm from because of country music. To kind of honor that part of myself by making a country song where it's like, 'You know what? Yes, I'm gay. Yes, I'm ultra-pop. Yes, I am a drag queen who can also perform a country song.'"
"There are a lot of drag queens that do country music all over the world. Name a girl who hasn't done 'Before He Cheats.' Name a girl that hasn't done 'Man! I Feel Like A Woman!'"
"I'm from southwest Missouri. Grew up on Christian and country, and then found 'Alejandro' by [Lady Gaga] and I was like, 'I think I like this, too.'"
While a full country album isn't on the horizon, Roan sees "The Giver" as a fun experiment rather than a career shift. With regard to future projects, more details are expected for her next venture following the acclaimed debut LP The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess.
