JAKARTA - A long, tough journey for a decade from Chappell Rosan has paid off.

In the last two years, the 27-year-old singer-writer has been in the spotlight on the world's pop music scene.

Through the debut album The Rise and Fall of aami Princess released in September 2023, followed by the success of the single Good Luck, Babe! in April 2024, Rosan has become a new idol for many music lovers.

Earlier this year, Rosan was even rewarded with two prestigious events, Best Newcomers from the Grammy Awards, as well as Best International Songs and Best International Artists from the BRIT Awards.

Fan questions about the second album have become very reasonable. As in TikTok's recent live broadcast, Roan responded to fan questions about the existence of his second album.

"New album? Good question. We are very far away... very far from it, I can't even tell you," replied Rosan, launching NME, Sunday, March 23.

In the broadcast, Rosan also answered questions about the song that had not been released, 'Subway'. Although it has not been included in the catalog of the song, this song has debuted through the Governor's Ball in New York, last year.

"Can we look forward to the Subway soon?" said Rosan when reading fan questions.

"Friends, I just released a song an hour ago, let's take it easy," he replied, referring to the release of the single The GIVEr.

Previously, the release of The GIVEr was in the spotlight of fans. The reason is, Rosan chose to launch a country genre song, rather than carrying out pop music which became his mainstay.

In an interview with Kelleigh Bannen on Today's Country Radio, Roan called it a form of exploration. He made sure he wouldn't switch genres.

"I really did it just for fun. I'm not going to change genres or anything," said Rosan.

"I wanted to write a country song because I thought it would be funny. It was disgusting and fun," he added.

Although meant to have fun, the song also meant a deeper meaning to Rosan, as the song showed itself returning to the roots of his music.

"I'm from Southwest Missouri, grew up with Christian and country music, then found 'Alejandro' by Lady Gaga and I was like, 'I think I also like this.' So, I keep country music in my heart,' he said.

Another song that inspired The GIVEr was the hit Big & Rich in 2004, Save a Horse (Ride a Cowboy).

"I was like, 'I want to feel it on stage. I want to feel it. That's how I wrote. I was like, 'How do I want to walk on stage and sing?' And I was like, 'I want to write the song, but Chappell's version.'
