Chappell Roan says fans will have 'at least' a five-year wait for her second album

Chappell Roan says fans will have "at least" a five-year wait for her second album.

The 27-year-old singer has not begun work on her follow-up to 2023's viral hit The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess yet, and anticipates it taking her a fair amount of time to complete, because she can't just "pump it out".

She told Vogue magazine: “The second project doesn’t exist yet.

“There is no album. There is no collection of songs.”

She continued: “It took me five years to write the first one, and it’s probably going to take at least five to write the next. I’m not that type of writer that can pump it out.

“I don’t think I make good music whenever I force myself to do anything. I see some comments sometimes, like, ‘She’s everywhere except that damn studio.’ Even if I was in the studio 12 hours a day, every single day, that does not mean that you would get an album any faster.”

The Pink Pony Club hitmaker - who has since released the singles Good Luck, Babe!, The Giver and The Subway - also insisted social media will have no role in her art.

She bemoaned: “Socials harm the f*** out of me and my art. I’m not doing that to myself anymore.

“I’ve never written an album where I don’t have Instagram or anything. The album process is purely, only mine. No one on TikTok gets to see it.”
