The remarkable success of Chappell Roan seemed to happen overnight. The pop newcomer quickly rose to the top of the charts and captured the attention of music fans worldwide. Her debut album, "The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess," was released in 2023, but its peak popularity arrived by early 2024. Chappell has already completed a sold-out world tour and performed at major festivals globally. She is set to make the most of the upcoming season as she has been announced as one of the headliners of Primavera Sound in Barcelona, alongside Charli xcx and Sabrina Carpenter.
Chappell blends synth influences and retro-pop inspiration into her music, along with elements of queer culture—from the image of a drag queen to direct and supportive messages in her songs that advocate for LGBTQ+ individuals and emphasize visibility. Her latest single, "Good Luck, Babe," narrates the story of a secret relationship between her and another woman, which ended due to external expectations.
Fantastic queer romance: a comic from "Good Luck, Babe"
Could the story from "Good Luck, Babe" be adapted into a physical love story? Absolutely! Illustrator Inés rose to the challenge and adapted the song into a comic. She incorporated words from Chappell Roan's song, pairing them with her illustrations. The action unfolds in an unspecified fantasy world set in vaguely distant times. This temporal shift adds an extra layer of depth and romance to the story.
