Chappell Roan Wishes She Wrote ‘Barracuda’
\nRoan first covered \u201cBarracuda\u201d in 2024 and has since made it a semi-regular staple of her ongoing Visions of Damsels & Other Dangerous Things tour. The 27-year-old pop star expressed her adoration for the song during a BBC Radio 1 interview earlier this year.<\/p>\n
\u201c’Barracuda’ is a song that I wish I wrote,\u201d Roan said. \u201cIt makes me feel how I want to [feel]. Listening to that song, performing that song \u2014 sometimes I’ll cover it \u2014 that is what a performer, to me, feels like. I am a performer when I listen to that song, when I play it. I strive every freaking time that I\u2019m in the studio to make something that good.\u201d<\/p>\n
Roan had no shortage of superlatives for Heart lead singer Ann Wilson in particular. \u201cShe has the best rock voice of all time, in my opinion,\u201d she said. \u201cAnn Wilson, unbelievable force. And so, so, so scary to me. I strive every day to sing with so much conviction and so confidently.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nancy Wilson Offered to Be Chappell Roan’s ‘Rock ‘n’ Roll Auntie’
\nNancy Wilson revealed earlier this year that she spent time with Roan, Hacks star Hannah Einbinder and members of the indie rock supergroup Boygenius at a recent Heart concert in Los Angeles, calling them a \u201cfantastic\u201d hang.<\/p>\n
“We hung out with those guys and really hit it off,” Wilson told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, adding that she offered to be their “rock \u2019n\u2019 roll auntie if you never need any advice.”<\/p>\n

\u201c[Led] Zeppelin was kind of our influence, and the Beatles and Elton John,” Wilson said. “There were not so many female artists. These girls have us and Sheryl Crow and others who influence them and encourage them.”<\/p>\n
