In this episode of Riffs on Riffs, Joe and Toby dive into Chappell Roan's emotional hit “Good Luck, Babe!” to explore her powerful lyrics, musical structure, and the cultural influences shaping her sound. They discuss the impact of drag culture on her performance style, drawing connections to the 80s music revival and how modern artists like Roan are reinterpreting classic sounds while embracing vulnerability. The duo touches on the deep connection between artists and fans, examining the pressures of fame and the bravery required to perform. Rich in personal anecdotes, the episode highlights the importance of contemporary female artists supporting and influencing each other, and how Roan’s music resonates with universal themes of love, heartbreak, and the courage it takes to be true to oneself.
