Out Jamz

Like a dance party, the album diverts moods. Going straight from I would find you to Yeah, I don’t wanna let go. “Get go,” focuses that feeling of melancholy while dancing to a poppy upbeat song at the club. It is a feeling that all of us may want to feel at one point in life even though we know it may not end in the best circumstances once the night ends. In “South Seconds,” the voicemails framing the song reveal two partners wanting different things, shaped by their pasts.

She acknowledged that she is still young and learning, but she is also grown enough to redefine what ‘love’ truly means. Reflecting on her more somber, introspective tracks, she shared a profound insight tied to her album cover: “I used to think love was all about making sacrifices. Now, I understand that real love is something that expands you—makes you bigger than you ever thought you could be.

Written by Callie Solberg (SHE/HER) Photos by Sophia Kingsley (SHE/HER) It’s Saturday night at The Showbox in downtown Seattle and the energy in the air is palpable. The crowd shimmers in silver, sequins and face glitter. People sing along to pop hits playing through the speakers, including Katy Perry’s “Friday Night” which gets the whole room swaying under the venue’s velvety ceiling. Everyone is here to see their favorite Midwest Princess, Chappell Roan.

Another standout was the song dry eyes. Dry eyes chronicles the feeling of moving on from a toxic relationship to a healthier one. Nightly addresses this song to the toxic ex singing about how their new girlfriend does not love them like her.

That could not be farther from the case here.

For the first several songs, Caesar performed inside a white, transparent cloth box at the center of the stage. One of the most impressive elements of this show was undoubtedly the stage design. The style for the introduction complimented the music and pacing of the setlist perfectly. Seeing the outline of the performer achieved an aesthetic effect while still hyping the crowd up to see him even more clearly.
