Giving the people what they want – more Chappell
Chappell Roan is embracing country music—on her own terms. The pop star released “The Giver”, a country-leaning song she describes as a playful take on the genre. Roan clarified that she’s not trying to break into country music but was drawn to the nostalgia and freedom it offers. Growing up surrounded by country sounds, she felt compelled to experiment with the style while staying true to herself. Despite speculation, she’s not planning a country album—just making music that feels right.

More SABLE, fABLE Teasers
Bon Iver has released two new singles from his upcoming album, SABLE, fABLE: If Only I Could Wait, featuring Danielle Haim, and Walk Home.

These tracks follow last month’s Everything Is Peaceful Love, as Justin Vernon prepares for the album’s April 11 release—his first full-length project since 2019. Vernon describes SABLE, fABLE as a deeply emotional journey rather than a fairy tale.
