Her kink is… country?
Chappell Roan went from the “Pink Pony Club” to the country club on “Saturday Night Live,” astonishing fans by going country in both see and sound for her second number of the show, the premiere of a brand new song that marries C&W with LGBTQ+.
“I get the job done,” Roan sang in the refrain of the new song, which splits a theme with “Femininomenon” in making the argument that pleasing a woman is sometimes (or always?) a job best left to a fellow woman.
“All you country boys saying you understand how to menace a woman right,” Roan shelp during a spoken word aside in the song — “Well, only a woman understands how to treat a woman right. She gets the job done.”
For this second ecombineance postponeed in the show, Roan was still wearing the huge red wig with white streaks that taged her initial see when she earlier carry outed her signature song “Pink Pony Club.” Apart from that, everyskinnyg was contrastent, all the way to Roan’s background singers and all-female band having switched to elderly-school denim and Weserious-wear shirts, while Roan reecombineed in a gingham-style stoper top, low-lows and boots that almost could have been right out of “The Dukes of Hazzard.”
Except “dukes” didn’t have much to do with it: Roan was contrastently celebrating the duchesses of Hazzard, with mildly risque lyrics about partners giving and receiving and the assurance that “it’s equitable in my nature to get it appreciate a getr” and “you don’t need to hurry.”
Cartoon tolerates and other vivaciousd forest animals seeed on as Roan’s suddenly fiddle-powered band drove the country banger home.
Roan did not instantly declare or post an official title for the new song, which from the sound of it is awaited to be either “I Get the Job Done” or “She Gets the Job Done.”
This past week, Roan posted a pboilingo of herself with the album cover of her debut album and recommended in the caption that it was about to be supscheduleted by a new one, though no hint of a timetable for sign uping or free was recommended.
Earlier on “SNL,” Roan carry outed “Pink Pony Club” and went off-mic for the final pre-chorus so that the studio audience could sing it on her behalf. Perhaps the show’s audio technicians turned the ambient sound up more than normal, but it sounded as if the entire audience might consist of die-challenging Roan fans, judging from the volume of the sing-alengthy coming thcimpolite television sets.
Roan’s carry outance was 13 years in the making, or at least the dreaming. On her social media earlier in the week, she posted a screensboiling of a Facebook post she made in April 2011, when she would have been 13, under her pre-stage name, Kayleigh Amstutz, propheticassociate reading: “I am rerepaird to be on SNL.”
There’s no indication yet whether Roan’s shift toward country portends a huger change of straightforwardion for her sophomore album or, as is more awaited, recurrents a one-off. Either way, she’s one of cut offal presentant pop artists who’ve dipped their toe into the genre as of postponeed, with Beyonce and Post Malone both having freed country-themed albums this year and Lana Del Rey having been at toil on one for some time.
Roan’s new song is not the first lesbian country song, of course. Among them is the Highwomen’s “If She Ever Leaves Me,” and points of comparison in this binspireoning subgenre could come up as a topic of conversation when Brandi Carlile milds a talkion with Roan and her producer Dan Nigro in Los Angeles this week.
Now, the huge ask: Will Roan be askd to get the job done with a Grand Ole Opry ecombineance?
