Now that Chappell Roan is done with live shows for the year (at a SNL performance), she has time to work on her sequel to 2023 The rise and fall of a Midwestern princess.

Producer and co-writer Dan Nigro told the story The New York Times that she already has five new songs, including “The Subway,” which she performed live, and a “fun, up-tempo country song” with “a fiddle.” There are also “a few ballads and a mid-tempo rock song.” Nigro added: “It’s a new version of Chappell.”

But it won’t be an “I’m going to write about being famous because it’s all I know now” version of Chappell, as is so often the case with sophomore albums. “That was never discussed in any issue,” Nigro said. “We still write from a really nice place. We’ll see what happens.”

Nigro has also collaborated with Olivia Rodrigo, who through him became friends with the singer “Red Wine Supernova”. “I’ll help them if they want my opinion on how to word something, but it’s their story to tell,” he said. ‘Sometimes it’s not my place to say something. Both Olivia and Chappell are in charge.” Roan added, “I think the age difference and generation gap (she’s 26, he’s 42) works in our favor because Dan and I come to music and culture from different perspectives. It just strengthens the world we’re building.”
