Adele didn't let the rain stop her during her Aug. 14 performance at Munich's Messe München. Amidst the downpour, the global superstar took a moment to highlight rising pop sensation Chappell Roan, who she recently discovered.
“I heard a song a while ago on my birthday, and I liked it, and it was on one of my friend's playlists. And then, I went down a rabbit hole on Monday. All day,” Adele said.
The “Rolling in the Deep” singer continued, “She's spectacular, and it turns out she's not just one song. It has, like, seven fucking great songs. I think she is absolutely amazing. I am very excited for her, but my friend also said that she is a little scared. Well, do what you gotta do, little girl, but you're fantastic.
“Anyway, that's all I've been doing this week is discovering Chappell Roan.”
The glowing endorsement couldn't come at a better time for Roan, who recently entered the Billboard Hot 100 with her single “Casual,” currently at No. 79. Her solo single “Good Luck Babe! ” has peaked at No. 10 on the Hot 100, marking her first top 10 hit. Additionally, Roan's debut album The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess reached the top 10 on the Billboard 200. Internationally, “Hot To Go!” entered the Billboard Global Excl. US chart at No. 200.
Hailing from Willard, Missouri, Roan has made waves with her debut album The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princesswhich combines confessional lyrics with a theatrical pop style.
Adele's Munich residency, which is due to end at the end of August, has already been marked by many memorable moments, including the public unveiling of her engagement. As she wraps up her run of shows, her praise for Roan is likely to draw even more attention to the up-and-coming artist, whose star continues to rise in the music world.
