Chappell Roan - The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess (3rd Anniversary) [2LP Orange]

Chappell Roan's The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess returns as a 3-year anniversary deluxe edition, a limited double LP on colored vinyl with an etched side, housed in a gatefold jacket.

Released in 2023, the album was a slow burn that turned into a phenomenon. Roan had been dropped by Atlantic, moved back home to Missouri and saved money before returning to Los Angeles to keep working with producer Dan Nigro, who launched Amusement Records to put the record out. She has compared her stage persona to Ziggy Stardust, which inspired the title.

Femininomenon is a glitter cannon of a pop song, built for screaming along with friends, and Hot To Go! turns a cheerleader chant into a dance-floor instruction manual. Pink Pony Club, about leaving home to dance under neon lights, became an anthem for anyone who ever outgrew a small town, while Casual swaps the sparkle for a sharp, aching ballad about a relationship that refuses to commit.

Love, heartbreak, self-discovery and queer joy run through every track, delivered with theatrical flair and real vulnerability.

This anniversary pressing is due to arrive as a limited run, ready to celebrate one of the defining pop debuts of the decade.
