Part of the writing evaluates ‘The Giver’, the new single from Chappell Roan, whom we will be seeing in the next spring Sound Barcelona. We offer you an opinion in favor and another against.
“I hope to be in a lesbian bar dancing ‘Good Luck, Babe!’ It is something that you can be thinking this Monday morning, but it is also what this tweet that went viral a few weeks ago.
With a lot of expectation after the brutal success last year of her single single, the singer dislodged us by not getting video clip, not even getting another single. It seemed too much to trust that his first album would shine more … and that confidence did result.
Now he has dislocated us again and has once again demonstrated confidence in his music at times Kamikaze: return with a country theme about how well he is given a pussy has all the ballots to be an error … or not, in the case of it. Because the melody is again as good as those mentioned in the review of its debut, this is full of hooks that do the super addictive theme (“Take it like a taker”, “Ain’t no Country Boy Quitter” and especially the “I get the job done!” Do not leave your head) and there is also a bridge with surprise: he has announced that he will change the ” phrases, as he did in his performance in SNL. Chappell Roan seems to me one of the most talent people who has appeared for pop in recent years, and I think ‘The Giver’ is another example of this. Pablo N. Tocino.
«The last thing I wanted as a continuation of ‘Good Luck, Babe!’, The best song of 2024, was a country recording by Chappell Roan. I insist: the last. Last year pop threatened to make us pass a country hell, with several artists joining fashion. Of course, there were great moments, such as the duo with Waxahatchee and MJ Lenderman. But I understand that the fever played a roof and ended with the Grammy – very deserved – to the reinvention of the genre that contributed ‘Cowboy Carter’ of Beyoncé. No one will overcome that album elaborated over 5 long years, so stop trying.
Lana del Rey has recounted and has already said that ‘Lasso’ will not be a country album. It does well: the market – especially the American – looks saturated with unwanted Morgans Wallens. Therefore, ‘The Giver’ is clearly a disappointment. It sounded live on TV last year and we forget it for something. Being country is not bad per se, obviously. Yes it arrives badly and afternoon, and instead of approaching the intimate, delicate and cucos territories of Kacey Musgraves, ‘The Giver’ sounds to the worst Shania Twain. No, not everything revival is appealing. Sebas E. Alonso.
