SONG REVIEW: Chappell Roan - "The Giver"
Music's "it" girl shows she still has "it" in a whole new way.
Having already conquered pop music with her debut record, it’s not surprising that Chappell Roan saw fit to expand her empire in a new genre. But she’s a Midwest kid at heart, a Midwest Princess at that, so her stepping into the world of country music isn’t that far-fetched of a move. It’s why she sounds so effortless on “The Giver”, a track that no doubt will play endlessly in honky tonk chateaus this year and beyond. Those repeats will be deserved, with the song’s foot-stomping rhythm complete with fiddles, banjos, and enough “na na na” chanting to get a bar crawl going. Chappell’s brash confidence is on full display, adopting numerous professions in the lyric video to get the job done as the best lover you’ve ever had. It’s not cosplay when your heart has always been there to begin with.
Verdict: Great/10
