Chappell Roan, the emerging pop star from the Midwest, finally brought her highly anticipated Midwest Princess tour to London's Brixton Academy this week. And let me tell you, she was definitely worth the wait. As she took the stage, the entire crowd fell silent, mesmerized by her powerful vocals and captivating presence. It's not often that an artist can command such attention with just one note, but Chappell Roan is no ordinary pop star.
Despite her meteoric rise to fame, Chappell has faced some challenges along the way. Tour cancellations and disgruntled fans have added to the drama surrounding her career, but she continues to navigate it all with grace. And now, with all the hype surrounding her London concert, fans are wondering if she can possibly live up to it all. But let me tell you, she did not disappoint. She was worth every second.
It's no wonder why so many people are eager to see her perform before she starts filling arenas. Her three-night stint at the reopened O2 Academy Brixton had fans scrambling for tickets, with some even reselling for outrageous prices. But it's not just the hype that draws fans in, it's her incredible talent. And it was on full display during her second night in London.
Chappell's performance was not filled with gimmicks or over-the-top production. Even her iconic drag-inspired look was toned down for the night. Instead, the focus was on one thing and one thing only: her incredible vocals. And she did not disappoint. Fans were on their feet, dancing and singing along to every tune. It was a high-energy, unforgettable experience that left the audience in awe.
Despite arriving on stage a bit late, fans didn't seem to mind at all. They were completely captivated by Chappell's loaded concert, which was filled with hit after hit. From "Super Graphic Ultra Modern Girl" to "Femininomenon," her setlist had fans on their feet from start to finish. And even the slower songs, like "Picture You," didn't bring the energy down. It was a perfect balance of party anthems and intimate ballads.
However, as much as I loved her performance, I couldn't help but feel that Chappell missed an opportunity to elevate her show even further. With her recent MTV VMA debut performance of "Good Luck, Babe!" gaining her even more attention, she could have taken a risk and added some of her older music to the setlist. But even without it, her concert still felt like a greatest hits tour. That's how many bangers she has under her belt.
For those unfamiliar with Chappell's earlier work, she released an EP in 2017 that has been overshadowed by the success of her debut album, "The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess." And with so many amazing tracks to choose from, it's not surprising that her previous songs didn't make the cut. But I can't help but think that adding in a few of her older songs, like "Meantime" or "Die Young," could have added some dimension to the show.
Despite this missed opportunity, Chappell's live performance only solidified my belief that her debut album will go down in music history as a monumental achievement. And the crowd at Brixton Academy seemed to agree. From the moment she burst onto the scene a few months ago, she has gained a loyal following who knows every word to every single song. And even when she debuted a new, unreleased track called "The Subway," the fans sang along as if it had been out for years.
And it's not just the fans who are impressed by Chappell's talent. Actor Andrew Scott, who was in the audience, was spotted singing along to one of her songs from the balcony seats. Now, that's high praise. But as Chappell herself has openly shared, fame and success come with their own set of struggles. And only time will tell if she can turn her undeniable talent into the success she deserves.
As her concert came to an end, I couldn't help but feel excited for what the future holds for Chappell Roan. She has the potential to become something more than just another female pop soloist. But in order to do so, she may need to take a few more risks. And I have no doubt that she will continue to impress and surprise us all. So, good luck, babe.
