My First Listen: CHAPPELL ROAN 'Good Luck Babe' Live In Depth Vocal and Music Analysis! RE-UPLOAD

[@ninaschofield]

Hello everyone! This is a re-upload of my initial video which was sadly blocked - I have edited it to allow it back online but you can watch the original version that i intended to share over on my Patreon - join for free and watch for free here: www.patreon.com/posts/re-upload-roan-110017189?Link&

[@AlexRa246]

The bridge is about a woman who denies her queer self and feelings and marries a man only to regret it later - the lyrics make more sense once you see it from this perspective. I won't be the only one to suggest this but give her Tiny Desk performance a go. It is amazing.

[@ninaschofield]

Thanks for the info and for the tiny desk suggestion!

[@bartlebyscrivener2980]

@@ninaschofield There's a great official lyric video to Good Luck Babe that makes the narrative clearer and also is very entertaining to watch. I highly recommend it. Thanks for your first listen to and vid on the artist of the decade.

@@ninaschofieldIt was obviously about a lesbian, how are you so ignorant that you need people to explain that to you ? Are you so sheltered that you never heard of lesbians or female homsexuality ? Good lord, i already know not to watch any other reaction from you since this is your level of education

Chappell Roan did the backing vocals on two tracks by Olivia Rodrigo (these are "Lacy" and a single "Can't Catch Me Now")

[@nwlondonmetaller3427]

I did not know Chappell did some backing vocals for Olivia. I learn something everyday.

[@ninaschofield]

Oh wow that’s really cool!

[@camille6143]

Actually, she also did backing vocals for obsessed

[@dylandog1289]

beyond the vocals, for me its the KICK she does after “good luck” after the breakdown and high belts. Shes extremely aware of herself and how she appears on stage/camera. Such a performer.

We need a reaction to her album I think you’re gonna absolutely fall in love with it and her even more 🩷🔥

[@malckav573]

The song is written from the perspective of a (young) woman being in love with another woman. The person the narrator is in love with does not want to commit to a homosexual relationship though / doesn't want to call it love. Years later the love interest is married to a man, and does not seem happy with being "nothing more than his wife", - it's heavily implied that the love interest denied being attracted to women because that's what society still expects / how she wanted to see herself. The narrator told her way back that it was more than a phase/love, and that is where the 'I told you so' comes in. The "You can kiss a hundred boys in bars" also means no matter how many boys she kisses trying to find the right one/the one she'll be into, she won't find him because she's simply attracted to women. BTW; I am sure you saw it, but Sabrina Carpenter did a cover of this song in the live lounge, it's a different arrangement and the vibe is quite different, but it's also beautiful.

[@paulkossak7761]

I've just discovered her about a month ago. She's the pop princess of the moment and I have to admit she has a phenomenal voice and asthetic. She's also been at it for a decade, she is not an overnight success.

[@tiberious_jefferson]

I can’t get over how amazing her vocals are, especially in this song. She’s incredible.

[@danilochaves9759]

She is amazing. Please hear her entire album! It’s just perfect!

[@nikkis7375]

So so good! Full body chills at those vocals!❤

[@PistachioDean]

Chappell is amazing!! So excited for her career in the music industry!

[@Cyaa_lmstan]

I need more Chappell Roan content !!!

[@nwlondonmetaller3427]

I got into this artist a year ago, she is really good, but what stood out for me, Roan's catchy singing style reminds me of Toyah Wilcox for some reason. I think Roan would do a good cover of "I want To Be Free". Roan is something special, the song has so many subtle quick catchy changes throughout. It is definitely worth checking out her whole album. It is finally great you discovered this artist at the right time. I am kicking myself discovering a couple of artists late this year: "Against The Current", through the track "Good Guy" and "The Warning" (Mexican 3 piece all-girl band), through the track "Six Feet Deep".

[@ninaschofield]

I always think when you discover an artist later on it’s good in a way as you have more discography to dive into 🥰

[@Wiley_Coyote]

If nobody else mentioned it, that's not an Angel costume. It's The White Swan. During her interview segment she dressed as The Black Swan.

[@chadstrimpel3379]

It was designed by the beautiful Gunnar as well!

[@mjkilkenny6637]

I really enjoyed your review ❤

[@ninaschofield]

Thank you so much!

[@Nnn-t2z]

Chappell and Sabrina are the new generation of artists that have amazing tones and vocals that appeal to older listeners too. The quality is there. It's the opposite to the mumble singing that was dominating.

[@gianyohan]

Chappell Roan is the most refreshing artist to me right now in the west. She's the new gaga for me. Like she pushes the quirky, extreme visuals of popstars again. And vocally she is soo good! This analysis just supports that. Hi Nina! Not sure if i should insert it here, but i do not know how else to do a request. Would you be interested in doing a vocal analysis on a ppop girl group who's making noise at the moment?? They are called Bini! I was hoping if you could do an analysis on their live performance on Wish Bus with their song "Karera" or their live performance of their latest single "Cherry On Top" at KCON LA.'s yt channel. Really hoping you would.

[@DavidFernandezChoreographer]

Welcome to the club 😊

[@transmutatingaswespeak3480]

The song is about a woman denying her true sexuality… “you can say that we are nothing but you know the truth” this girl made Chappell feel like a fool and Chappell is sarcastically telling her good luck… at the same time you can hear the passion she had for her amidst the frustration… “I don’t wanna call it off but you don’t wanna call it love” 🤍🤍 Denying sexuality… you’d have to stop the word just to stop the feeling!!!!

[@brianfagan3367]

Great reaction Allie Sherlock has a magnificent cover well worth checking out imo

[@archienoyce2453]

This is one of my favourite songs by her she’s such an amazing upcoming artist and your reaction was so lovely. Chappell is a lesbian and the song is about comphet (compulsory heterosexuality) where her lover couldn’t get past social expectations and so ends up in a loveless marriage to a man, and the song goes into the regret and “I told you so” of it. It’s a really beautiful and nuanced song imo but without context the song can be a little much to grasp on first listen through. Thank you for your reaction to her! If you haven’t already I recommend checking out her tiny desk performance or her album in general “the rise and fall of a Midwest princess”

Hi, Nina. Did we do this yesterday? Am I have deja vu? I do think that time itself is rather a paradox and the groundhogs are knocking at the door. The past is timeless, the future is boundless and the present is a tiny sliver of a memory from a moment ago. Am I really here? In any case I'll see you next time... or last time?

[@honeybee.87]

She sounds like if Kate Bush and Lana Del Rey had a baby

[@Jennifer_150]

But what’s also amazing about this song is that there’s room for ambiguity about the complexity of relationships in general. You could swap “…You could kiss a thousand boys…” for “girls” and the song then applies to heterosexual relationships too. Ultimately, I don’t think it matters. The song is a desperate, striking cry for love and affection, and the gut-wrenching pain of rejection. It’s chilling! 👏🙌🫶

[@lauracurriero303]

No, this is a lesbian song about the lesbian experience, stop trying to erase the little representation that us lesbians have when there are already billions of other hetero songs, you are a privileged straight woman showing her privilege here

[@lauracurriero303]

Don’t you hets ever get tired of being the center of attention, is it too much for you to simply step aside ?

[@Jennifer_150]

@@lauracurriero303 Who said I was heterosexual? Or that I don’t support and celebrate gay music also? I’m just saying that there’s *some* room for interpretation, so the brilliance of the song is that it’s ultimately about unrequited love, that everyone can relate to.

[@exessen1684]

This is a really weird take.. I don't think Chappell Roan would appreciate it at all. This is coming from a straight person btw

[@lauracurriero303]

@@Jennifer_150 Chappel would hate you btw, she always stated she makes music for queer people, not straight people, go away and never come back
