Adele Praises Chappell Roan: ‘She’s Got Seven F***ing Brilliant Songs’

Adele didn’t let the rain stop her during her Aug. 14 performance at Munich’s Messe München. Amidst the downpour, the global superstar took a moment to highlight rising pop sensation Chappell Roan, whom she recently discovered.

“I heard a song a little while ago at my birthday, and I loved it, and it was on one of my friend’s playlists. And then, I went down a rabbit hole on Monday. All day long,” Adele said.

The “Rolling in the Deep” singer continued, “She is spectacular, and it turns out, she’s not just got one song. She’s got, like, seven fucking brilliant songs. I think she’s absolutely amazing. I’m very excited for her, but my friend also said she’s a bit scared. So, do what you gotta do, baby girl, but you’re phenomenal.

“Anyway, that’s all I’ve done this week is discover Chappell Roan.”

The glowing endorsement couldn’t come at a better time for Roan, who recently entered the Billboard Hot 100 with her single “Casual,” currently sitting at No. 79. Her standalone single “Good Luck Babe!” has climbed to No. 10 on the Hot 100, marking her first top 10 hit. Additionally, Roan’s debut album The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess has reached the top 10 on the Billboard 200. Internationally, “Hot To Go!” entered the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart at No. 200.

Originally from Willard, Missouri, Roan has been making waves with her debut album The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, which blends confessional lyrics with a theatrical pop style.

Adele’s Munich residency, set to conclude at the end of August, has already been marked by several memorable moments, including her public engagement reveal. As she wraps up the series of shows, her praise for Roan is likely to draw even more attention to the emerging artist, whose star continues to rise in the music world.
