Chappell Roan Confirms Second Album Not Yet Written, Five-Year Timeline Expected

Chappell Roan, the 27-year-old singer-songwriter known for her 2023 debut album 'The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess,' has confirmed that her second album is still years away, with no songs or collection of songs yet completed. She explained in multiple interviews that it took five years to write her first album and expects the next to take at least as long, emphasizing that forcing herself to create does not lead to good music. Despite releasing singles like 'The Giver' and 'The Subway'—the latter delayed due to its personal nature—she remains focused on her artistic process without pressure from social media. Producer Dan Nigro has confirmed the recording process has only just begun, describing a collaborative and thoughtful approach. Meanwhile, Roan continues to engage with fans through live performances and announced pop-up residencies across major cities. While fans may be eager for new music, Roan prioritizes authenticity and time in crafting her work, highlighting that the next album’s release aligns with a long-term creative timeline rather than immediate output.
