Ceci est la traduction adaptée d’un article de Andy Greene, originalement publié par Rolling Stone le 4 aoûtt 2025. Nous republions l'article originalement intitulé Chappell Roan Says Her Next Album Probably Isn’t Coming Out for ‘Years’ avec la permission de son auteur. Notez que certaines subtilités et nuances peuvent différer de la version originale.

Il y a plus de deux ans que Chappell Roan a lancé son premier album, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, et elle a depuis maintenu l’attention de ses admirateurs avec les chansons Good Luck, Babe!, The Giver et The Subway. Mais dans une nouvelle entrevue accordée à Vogue, l’autrice-compositrice-interprète révèle que son deuxième album, très attendu, est encore loin d’être prêt.

«Le deuxième projet n’existe pas encore,» dit-elle. «Il n’y a pas d’album. Il n’y a pas de collection de chansons… Il m’a fallu cinq ans pour écrire le premier, et il va probablement m’en falloir au moins cinq pour écrire le suivant.»

Elle comprend que certains admirateurs puissent être frustrés, mais elle leur demande de respecter son rythme. «Je ne suis pas le genre d’autrice qui peut produire à la chaîne,» explique-t-elle. «Je ne pense pas faire de la bonne musique quand je me force. Je vois passer des commentaires du genre: “Elle est partout sauf en studio.” Même si j’étais en studio 12 heures par jour, tous les jours, ça ne voudrait pas dire que l’album sortirait plus vite.»

Roan n’a pas tourné de vidéo pour Good Luck, Babe! ni pour The Giver. Mais pour The Subway, elle a conçu un clip élaboré: on la voit faire la fête dans un métro, suivre un personnage étrange aux cheveux verts et se faire traîner à travers New York dans une série de perruques longues et emmêlées, à la Cousin Itt. La vidéo a été visionnée près de 4,5 millions de fois en seulement deux jours.

«Je ne voulais pas que ce soit trop sérieux,» dit-elle. «C’est une chanson sérieuse, mais en même temps, pas tant que ça, parce que je dis: “Fuck this city, I’m moving to Saskatchewan.” Ce n’est pas si sérieux.»

Les admirateurs qui redoutent une longue attente avant le prochain album auront au moins plusieurs occasions de la voir sur scène dans les mois à venir. Roan est actuellement en tournée dans divers festivals européens, avant de revenir aux États-Unis, où elle se produira notamment quatre soirs au Forest Hills Stadium de New York, deux soirs au Museum and Memorial Park à Kansas City (Missouri) et deux autres à Brookside at the Rose Bowl à Pasadena (Californie).

«Le rythme me convient pour l’instant,» dit-elle. «C’est agréable et gérable. Pour la première fois depuis plus d’un an, j’ai enfin hâte d’aller travailler.»

Why Are All the Girls Crying in the Club?

It seems the girls can’t stop crying in the club in 2026. In the past few months, Karol G, Becky G, and Tokisicha have all released major albums, cementing their roles as powerful forces in Latin pop music. Tokischa finally shared her long-awaited debut, Amor & Droga; Karol surprised fans with No Me Arrepiento de Sentir Tanto; and Becky G dropped her most unapologetic LP yet, Baraja Bendita. Though each release has its own focus and blend of genres, there’s one element they all share: a sad perreo song filled with dancefloor introspection.

Karol G, Becky G, and Tokisicha have used reggaeton rhythms to power some of their biggest releases to date, including club-ready perreo tracks with frenetic snares that you can’t help but move to. But with songs like “Perreo Llorando,” “Bebiendo Lágrimas,” and “Perreo Triste,” all three of them are taking a sound more typically associated with partying and pairing it with melancholy emotions instead. For these three, living it up can also mean dancing through the pain.

Reggie Watts Is a Prominent Ketamine Advocate. Was It His Ex’s ‘Undoing’?

In a backyard in the valleys of Los Angeles, a crowd of 60 people gathered to celebrate the life of Katherine Early McCollough.

Family members, longtime friends, colleagues, and even an ex-boyfriend, who hosted the gathering at his home, spent the evening drying tears and laughing as they exchanged memories of McCollough: how she always forgot her keys, her silly made-up language that they somehow all became fluent in, and the sheer magic that was Kat.

Ten Years Later, Frank Ocean Still Knows Something We Don’t

Ten years ago, during the same week that Frank Ocean released his mixed-media tableau — the short film/album Endless, the rarefied Boys Don’t Cry zine, and his seminal album Blonde — Werner Herzog’s film Lo and Behold, Reveries of the Connected World arrived. In the film, the German documentary filmmaker considers the heady question of what the internet might be doing to us humans. He makes contact with a community whose members swear they’re allergic to Wi-Fi. The film ominously warns of an inevitable solar flare on the scale of the 1859 Carrington Event, one that, once unleashed, would reduce all communications networks, the foundations of so much of our modern world then and even more now, to dust.

Toronto Turns Purple as BTS Returns to Canada

After hosting the World Cup earlier this summer, Toronto is getting another major event as South Korean supergroup BTS will take over Rogers Stadium for two sold-out concerts on August 22 and 23, bringing an estimated 100,000 fans to North York across the weekend. This will be their first Canadian performance since three shows in Hamilton in 2018.

For local fans, the wait has been especially long. BTS had planned to return to Toronto in 2020, but those concerts were ultimately cancelled during the pandemic. The group was then forced into a lengthy hiatus, while all seven members completed South Korea’s mandatory military service.

Weezer’s 20th Album Is Good as Gold

Weezer’s 20th Album Is Good as Gold

Weezer has always had a thing for concept records, whether they’re imagining “the Beach Boys gone bad” (2017’s Pacific Daydream), doing a set of beloved old radio hits (2019’s The Teal Album), getting in touch with their quasi-sensitive side (2021’s OK Human) or paying tribute to the Eighties metal greats (that same year’s Van Weezer). For their 20th LP, technically self-titled but also known as The Gold Album, the concept is at once highly ironic and gloriously straightforward: a Weezer record that sounds like a classic Weezer record. “There’s something special about your early shit,” Rivers Cuomo intones — simultaneously tongue-in-cheek and heart-on-sleeve — at the opening of “C.E.O.,” a highlight anthem that sounds unmistakably indebted to their own 1994 classic “Undone (The Sweater Song).” The sentiment set the table for a record that often suggests what might’ve happened if the band had released a transitional album in 1995, between their debut 1994 alt-rock smash The Blue Album and their 1996 emo-adjacent masterpiece Pinkerton. Weezer’s Gold is, in fact, Weezer gold.
