As a 32-year-old straight man whose musical tastes mostly orbit Zupfgeigenhansel, I am incredibly well-suited to discuss the music of Chappell Roan. "Good Luck Babe", "Hot To Go". All the hits! I absolutely know all of them and could easily name more, if I wanted to.
But why is she gracing the pages of PC Gamer? Because it turns out she's a videogame OST connoisseur. Specifically, there's a space in her heart for the beeps and boops of the Old School RuneScape soundtrack. In a chat with Hemlocke Springs in Nylon, Roan paid Springs' debut album, the apple tree under the sea, the highest compliment: she said it put her in mind of RuneScape's music.
Roan was discussing the ways in which she feels boxed in by labels—from "queer artist" to "pop star"—when she paid tribute to Springs for her nuanced, "multidimensional" work. One way you know it's multidimensional? Because listening to it put Roan in mind of RuneScape.
