Chappell Roan
Vocal Range: E♭3-G♯6
Voice Type: Soprano
An expressive, theatrical and sometimes even outrageous vocalist, Chappell Roan's soprano voice is one which is surely set to stand at the forefront of the 2020s musical landscape. Chappell is technically gifted, showing an ability to utilise her voice against any demands and certainly has both the talent and tricks up her sleeve to keep her listeners guessing, and ultimately wait for more.

I'm no Chappell Roan scholar but Hot to Go's backing chest Eb5s and falsetto Bb5s are definitely her
Edit: Also hearing an obscured A6 in Guilty Pleasure, idk if I would count it but it's not too far from the Naked in Manhattan G#6

Good start with this thread, but it could definitely use some more formatting - mainly in the sense that I'm noticing a significant lacking of indication for backing vocal notes. I actually had to listen to the "After Midnight" clip a few times over to figure out where the E6 was supposed to be, because I expected it to be much more at the forefront based on the fact that it wasn't underlined. The "Femininomenon" B♭5 is another one that I would consider a backing vocal note, and who knows what else. Hey, I'm glad you enjoyed the thread. It's a work in progress and tbh I'm aware there's quite a lot I need to do with it, but I really wanted to get it out as a reliable resource because Chappell is pretty popular right now. The notes are all there, and I'll work on ensuring the background vocals are highlighted soon. A lot of her notes above E5 are background, off the top of my head 'Good Luck, Babe!' is a good example of where she is using a strong head voice in the lead so they will definitely need formatting. IIRC she hits an E6 twice, although I'm not entirely sure if that is the case or if that vocal is just looped. It sounds identical on both counts to my ears.

I'll go back and listen soon. I was a bit dubious about submitting the G#6 but I figured it was fine because she's clearly using her whistle register to hit the note and it's very well controlled too.

There's a harmonised C♯6 in the pre-chorus of "Super Graphic Ultra Modern Girl" Also "Casual" has an E♭5 at 2:32 Also A3s and B3s in this cover of "Love Story" by Taylor Swift Thank you! Not to sound dumb but can you time stamp the C♯6 for me please? Am I just being really silly?

That she repeatedly hits F♯5-G5 in “Good Luck, Babe!” and makes it sound so sweetly is impressive, but I think the F#5 belt in the climax is just as if not more impressive — might be worth recoloring to black instead of blue for that, as she does make it sound in a full chest voice and not just a head voice only like she does in the chorus… I cannot even begin to tell you how long I poured over the F♯5 'Good Luck, Babe!" dilemma lol. I think I agree with you, and may make that change. This thread should be updated over the next couple of weeks with background vocals and a couple of others I missed out. It seems Chappell Roan isn't flying under anyones radar right now so I want it to be as good as possible in good time.

Would love to see some of "The Subway" included on here! There's no studio version but she's performed it multiple times by now. The outro of the song is entirely just mid-high belts (C5-Eb5 maybe?)! www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNhFENQGrQA

It's a little quiet and I'd personally underline it, but I understand not underlining it too. My only issue is that the clip starts too early. I was waiting like 10 seconds before the E6 came on.

no rush or anything but there’s a b-side called “read & makeout” where you can listen on spotify, she bottoms out at like E3 in the backing vocals and gets A5s towards the end also i believe good luck babe has F#3 unisons in the chorus lol edit: oh yeah and as galaxyseal mentioned in the Olivia thread the backing vocals on lacy and Can’t Catch Me Now are Chappell

So the timing is kinda intentional, I don't know if this is just a me thing but I don't like starting clips dead on the note, I think it's good to hear how it builds up to it. I do agree that the E6 is very noticeable though, it jumped out to me straight away when I listened to the song, especially because it isn't part of a harmony line. Femininomenon however is a different story, I do agree that is very much a backing note because it is within the harmony. The E6 isn't layered, and it's loud enough that it pops IMO but this is purely just my take. I'll happily underline it upon request. Anyway, I will get around to updating this and formatting it, I'm just focusing on some other projects at the moment but wanted to get this up fairly quickly in case she released a new album (which I actually don't think she's going to as it stands...) Moving forward I won't be notewatching pop vocalists as I've realised I don't have much interest in them. For those of you sleuths that spotted some notes I didn't - thank you and it is all noted.
