Coercion is unwelcome here.
Chappell Roan, the US singer known for her debut album "Pink Pony Club" and her hit singles like "Hot to Go!" and "Pink Pony Club," is taking her time with her next record. In an interview with Vogue, Roan opened up about her music-making process and the delay in releasing her second album.
Roan's debut album, "The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess," was released two years prior to the 2025 Grammys, where she was named Best New Artist. The album, which also contained hits like "Good Luck, Babe!" and "The Giver," helped her gain international recognition.
However, Roan is not rushing her music production process. She revealed that it took her five years to write her first album and expects the next one to take at least as long. "I don't make good music when I force it," Roan said. "I need to take my time and let the music come to me naturally."
Despite not having a second album as of mid-2025, Roan has been working on new music. She has collaborated with producer Dan Nigro on several tracks, blending country, dance, '80s, and live-band styles. However, these tracks may be standalone singles rather than part of an album.
Roan's latest releases, "The Subway" and "The Giver," have helped her maintain her presence in the music scene. But, as of now, no official album or release window has been announced following her 2025 Grammy win.
Roan's music career includes more than just working on her next record. She has spoken openly about her creative process and her journey in the industry. Despite the delay in her second album, Roan's fans are eagerly waiting to see what she has in store for them next.
