Chappell Roan Drops New Single ‘The Giver’
Chappell Roan has officially released the studio version of her anticipated single titled “The Giver.” Fans can listen to the track through the embedded link provided below.
A Journey to Release
The song “The Giver” was first introduced during Roan’s performance on Saturday Night Live in November. Last month, she created buzz among her followers by offering snippets via a dedicated hotline, leading to the recent release of the high-quality recording.
A Unique Take on Country Music
In a recent interview with Amazon Music, Roan described “The Giver” as her “lesbian country song.” She expressed her connection to the genre, stating, “I can’t call myself the Midwest princess and not acknowledge country music straight up,” further reflecting on her musical influences. Roan noted that her intention was not merely to cross genres for the sake of it, but rather to embrace her surroundings and humor in creating a distinctive piece. “I just think a lesbian country song is really funny, so I wrote that,” she added.
Clarifying Her Musical Direction
Despite the country influence in her latest track, Roan clarified that “The Giver” does not signify a shift toward an entirely country-themed album. She engaged with her audience via social media to reassure them, stating, “Many people have asked if this means I’m making a country album??? My answer is.. hmm right now I’m just making songs that make me feel happy and fun.” She humorously concluded her message with a nod to the genre, stating, “…may the classic country divas lead their genre, I am just here to twirl and do a little gay yodel for y’all.”
Career Highlights
“The Giver” marks Roan’s first single following her popular track, “Good Luck, Babe!” Additionally, her debut album, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, was released in September 2023. Recently at the Grammys, Roan garnered attention by advocating for major labels to provide healthcare for the artists they support, a significant issue in the music industry.
